About Altherr Orthodontics

Dr. Edward Altherr treats siblings and multiple generations of the same families, with reviewers praising accurate timelines and results that hold up years later.

Altherr Orthodontics handles a high volume of braces cases, and many reviews come from families bringing several children through treatment sequentially over the years, sometimes with parents returning later for their own aligners or braces. Dr. Edward Altherr is described as someone who explains treatment plans and pricing up front and gives timeline estimates that reviewers say hold up, with several noting braces came off on or ahead of schedule. Results are described as significant, including corrected crossbites, closed gaps, and long-standing bite issues resolved in adult patients. Scheduling gets specific praise too, with same-day fixes for broken brackets and flexibility around school and sports.

My retainer broke approximately two weeks before heading to college. Altherr Ortho was able to fit me in quickly to repair the broken retainer. Thank you for great customer service.

We’ve been going to Altherr for a couple of years now (finished up kid #2 of 3), and the experience has been nothing short of amazing! The staff is super friendly and helpful. And chatting with Dr Altherr about treatment options and progress feels like chatting with your neighbor about how great Life is! When we shopped around, there were no doubt other options, but we’ve never regretted choosing Altherr Orthodontics.

I highly recommend Dr. Altherr and his entire team. Everyone in the office is incredibly friendly and welcoming. From my very first appointment, Dr. Alther took the time to explain everything clearly. Because I already had dental implants, I wasn't very hopeful that my smile could be improved. However, he carefully explained what could realistically be achieved and how he would work around my existing implants to get the best possible result. Throughout the entire treatment, Dr. Alther and his assistants were always communicative, professional, and supportive. Whenever I had any concerns, they never hesitated to fit me in for a quick appointment, check everything, and reassure me that everything was progressing as expected. If you're an adult considering orthodontic treatment, I definitely recommend this office. They genuinely care about their patients, and I'm very happy with my experience and the results.

Dr. Altherr and his staff are so kind and knowledgeable. My daughter was well cared for and she is thrilled with her perfect smile! The office is also always so clean and cheerful and we felt comfortable and welcome there from the first visit. We will definitely be coming back to Dr. Altherr for our future orthodontic care!

We have absolutely loved our experience with Altherr Orthodontics. As a parent, it means so much to know your child is being cared for by a team that is not only highly skilled but also genuinely kind and encouraging. Every visit has been a positive one, and the staff always goes out of their way to make us feel welcome. They take the time to explain everything clearly, answer questions, and make sure both parents and kids are comfortable with the treatment plan. Seeing my child’s confidence grow along with their smile has been such a gift. We are so grateful for the care we’ve received and would wholeheartedly recommend Altherr Orthodontics to any family looking for an orthodontist they can trust.
