About New Smiles Orthodontics
Dr. Deborah New's office is noted for patience with anxious patients and children with sensory needs, and for guiding adults through braces later in life.
New Smiles Orthodontics draws a notably wide range of patients, from young children to adults getting braces well into adulthood, with braces mentioned far more often than other treatments. Reviews describe Dr. Deborah New taking extra care with anxious patients and children with sensory sensitivities, including one account of a child with autism handled calmly through a bracket application. Parents also point to same-day scheduling for urgent issues like broken brackets, and the doctor personally following up on a weekend appliance problem.

Nothing but Great Experience with Dr. New and my son’s Lightforce braces. Had them 18 months without any issues! Had 1 bracket question on a weekend and Dr New called us, went in Monday morning for wire fix. Nanette at front desk is super nice and personable!
My oldest needed some teeth straightened due to a peg tooth he was born with that impacted his actual teeth. My son has a lot of sensory issues with his mouth due to autism so I was nervous about him needing braces but they've been good to him. I go back with him for treatment to make sure he's calm and there's never an issue with anyone or with him. Staff is helpful and everyone is so kind.
Everyone here is so welcoming and friendly the minute you walk through the door. Dr. New is extremely kind and warm, which I appreciate because I get so nervous with anything dental related. She explained all of my options very simply, but thoroughly, and was so patient with my questions! I really can’t say enough good about this place. Thank you to everyone for a wonderful experience!
If you're considering Invisalign, visit New Smiles. Dr. New explained the entire process before my decision to move on with the care. Each time I visit, she thoroughly explains the next steps in the treatment. Nanette helped by explaining payment options. I never thought going to an orthodontist would be a pleasant experience!
Just had my retainer check up with Dr. New and everything looks great! Love my improved smile. I'm so delighted with my decision to have braces applied in my adult years😁 Thank you, Dr. New and Nanette!
