About Tyska Alexander Orthodontics

Adults in their 50s and 60s complete Invisalign here alongside families who rarely wait more than a few minutes for appointments.

Dr. Edwin Tyska and Dr. Kristen Alexander are described as unhurried and direct, sometimes advising patients to delay treatment rather than start unnecessary work. Reviews note the practice taking over and correcting mistakes made by other providers at no extra charge, and several adult patients describe finally addressing decades-old insecurities through Invisalign. Scheduling comes up often, with reviews mentioning quick fits for emergencies and appointments that rarely run long, and results are described as thorough, down to autistic and anxious children handled with individualized patience.

Never think you're too old for braces. I've lived with an unattractive smile my whole life and finally decided to visit Tyska Alexander Orthodontics after a recommendation from my dentist. It was the best decision I've ever made. The entire office staff is professional and passionate about their work. Dr. Tyska and Dr. Alexander are kind, compassionate and never rush appointments they genuinely care and celebrate your progress. I used to feel embarrassed about my teeth, but no one there ever made me feel ashamed or uncomfortable. I can't say enough good things about the whole team. If you're hesitant or unsure about getting braces because of your age or insecurities, trust them with your orthodontic care .Tooth be told brace yourself you won't be disappointed Tyska, Alexander orthodontics are aces for braces.

Dr Tyska knew of a goal date the minute I consulted with him. It was 16 months away. Not only did he meet “my deadline” my teeth are absolutely perfect. The staff from top to bottom are pleasant and professional. It was the most seamless procedure (braces) I’ve ever had. Thank you Dr Tyska and your staff

Great, friendly staff and a clean office. I did an Invisalign treatment with them and they explained the process thoroughly. However their hours are extremely hard to work with as someone who works an average 8-430 job. You do have to visit them monthly or every couple weeks so it is a lot of PTO use. Definitely recommend for people who have a more flexible schedule, but if you work a 9-5 I’d find a place with earlier/later hours.
