About UNLV Orthodontic Clinic

Affordable orthodontic care, often priced well below private practice rates, with thorough step-by-step explanations and some patients finishing braces well ahead of typical timelines.

This clinic draws many cost-conscious families, with reviews noting payment plans and treatment priced well below typical private practice rates, though a few describe confusion over billing. The orthodontist is repeatedly credited for detailing each step of treatment, including coordinating with an outside surgeon on a complex SARPE case. Several patients report finishing braces in under a year, faster than the three-year timeline they had anticipated.

My son plays sports year-round, so I was nervous braces would constantly become a problem. Thankfully this office has handled every little issue quickly and professionally. He broke a bracket during basketball practice and we expected to wait forever for an appointment, but they managed to see him the next morning before school. The orthodontist explained clearly how to better protect everything during games without making him feel careless. The office itself is clean, modern, and surprisingly organized considering how busy it gets. One thing I appreciate is that the staff actually remembers patients between visits instead of treating everyone like numbers. His teeth already look significantly straighter after less than a year and even relatives started commenting on how much his smile has changed during recent family gatherings.

Went for Invisalign as it was half the cost as my in network dentist. Very satisfied with my dentist and results. BUT, BE SURE TO HOLD ON TO AND TRACK ALL PAYMENTS AND RECEIPTS!! Three times now they have said this is my last payment and then they hit me up for another $125. Kind of feeling like this is a racket at this point. When does it end?

I recently came here for a dental emergency and was greeted kindly by the staff. I felt very welcomed and comfortable. I was treated by a student named Matt, and he did an amazing job on my pulpotomy. He made sure I was comfortable the entire time and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, which really helped calm me :] I would 100% recommend him, he’s going to make a great dentist. The whole building was really nice and way better compared to my previous clinic. I had a great experience and would definitely recommend coming here for any dental work!

Dr. Hodges did an AMAZING job! Thank you so much- I love my smile. Doing this through UNLV was affordable for me as they offer payment plans and I did not have insurance. The staff was always so friendly- from the front desk to the students and teachers in the back. Thank you all!
