About VanderWall Orthodontics - Raleigh
An after-hours emergency line answered personally by Dr. Clay VanderWall, plus same-day fixes for broken brackets and lost retainers.
Reviews point to unusually fast response when something goes wrong: broken brackets or lost retainers get same-day or next-day fixes, and the emergency line is described as answered personally by the doctor rather than a service. Pricing also comes up often, with reviews noting transparent quotes at consultation and cases where treatment came in cheaper than other offices quoted. Beyond responsiveness, reviews describe Dr. Clay VanderWall building personalized plans, including resolving a severe underbite with Invisalign instead of jaw surgery and using early expanders for young children.

We cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Vanderwall and his office team. They’re extremely friendly, always on time, and willing to go above and beyond. I recommend their Raleigh location to anyone looking for a honest orthodontist, with a great office experience.

Friendly staff and a comfortable atmosphere. I went for a consultation for braces and they were transparent about pricing and length of time. I would highly recommend.

The absolute best orthodontist in the area! I called 20 locations in an attempt to get my permanent retainer fixed, this office was the first to show genuine care and kindness towards my situation. They were able to get me a next day appointment, fixed the issue, and provided me with a new removable retainer. The entire staff is lovely, if I could give them 10 stars I would.

Worked with them for 3 1/2 years and they’ve been great for the entire process! Finally getting my braces off today, bittersweet!
