About SmileyCuse
Braces priced well below competing quotes, with easy payment plans, make Dr. Nate's practice a go-to for cost-conscious families and teens.
Cost comes up again and again in reviews, with braces quoted at $2000-$4000 versus the $5000-$7000 patients say they were quoted elsewhere, plus flexible monthly payment plans and no hidden fees. Dr. Nathan Fowler is described as straightforward and personable, checking in with patients and explaining timelines before treatment starts. Reviews also note same-day consultations and braces placement, short wait times, and a bright, music-filled office that helps put nervous kids at ease.

I’ve brought 2 of my daughters here and they have done a great job. They are an amazing practice. We love all of you. Thank you Nikki for removing them today. And as always shoot out to Dr. Nate. Thank you so much.

We have been coming to Smiley Cuse for about 2 years. Every visit has been free and we have always been treated with so much care and respect! We have been waiting for my son’s mouth to be ready for Braces. The big day has finally arrived and we are very happy and excited to start our journey! This business is super adorable, they have lots of bright colors and comfortable spaces. They move patients in and out very efficiently and smoothly! I’ve never had a long wait! Mary and Andrea took care of us today and as all the staff has always been, very nice!

I got my braces installed today, and the whole process was quick and smooth. Ashley and the entire staff were incredibly professional, welcoming, and friendly, making the experience comfortable from start to finish. While many places charge a lot for braces, SmileyCuse is very affordable without compromising on quality. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for excellent orthodontic care!

I was apprehensive initially especially due to the affordability. I was wrong! This place has exceeded my expectations. I've had braces on for a year thus far and I don't know how it is possible but ALL the receptionists have a great attitude and happy disposition. My smile is on its way to perfection. They offer professional cleanings and accommodated any and all concerns I have had as a 44 year old Trucker! Positive uplifting atmosphere! My daughter will be getting her braces here next at 24 years old after much convincing from me!😁😄🤭As I know she will be in good hands with the orthodontist here. Look foward to the next 6mths. Will update with photos when complete! Highly recommend! This is the one! Choose them.👌🏽🙌🙏🏼💛✨☀️
