About Wake Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry
Staff are noted for working with sensory-sensitive and autistic children, and Dr. David Kornstein and colleagues get credit for gentle care with anxious young patients.
This orthodontic practice draws particular praise for how it handles special-needs and sensory-sensitive children, with staff trained to work with autistic kids and a quiet room offered for those who get nervous. Young children more broadly are a big part of the patient base, and reviews note toys, coloring, and TVs used to keep them engaged during visits. Doctors including Dr. David Kornstein, Dr. Jordan Lamb, and Dr. Stephen Pretzer are described as explaining treatment steps before starting and avoiding unnecessary procedures, and several reviews mention same-day fixes for broken wires or brackets, including one during a family vacation.

We have see Dr Dave on the dental side and Dr Lamb on the ortho side. We have been going to this practice now for the past 5 years or so! We love it!
Words truly cannot express how outstanding the team at the Tongue-Tie Center at Wake Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry is! From the very first phone call, we felt an incredible sense of peace and were treated like family. Dr. Kornstein is truly second to none. If you’ve been wondering whether your little one may benefit from a frenectomy, I cannot recommend scheduling a consultation enough. His level of expertise is exceptional, and he takes the time to thoroughly educate parents, answer every question, and ensure you feel informed and confident in your decision. There is absolutely no pressure—just compassionate, evidence-based care. The entire team is equally amazing. Their kindness, professionalism, and genuine care for families shine through in every interaction. We are so grateful for the incredible care our family received and couldn’t recommend them more highly.
My permanent retainer came loose right before a major work trip, and I called several orthodontic offices in the Triangle hoping to get it fixed before I left. Every place either quoted an astronomical fee or told me that because I was technically a "new patient," they couldn't see me for more than a month and a half and required a new patient consultation first. Thankfully, I found Wake Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry. They recognized it for what it was: a minor repair. They got me in the same day, didn't charge me with a huge bill and didn't put me through any unnecessary red tape. The staff was friendly, welcoming and genuinely helpful when I really needed it. I would highly recommend Dr. Lamb and everyone at Wake Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry to anyone looking for excellent care and outstanding customer service.
Can’t say enough great things about Wake Forest Peds Dentist and Orthodontists in Raleigh! Everyone at this location is truly the BEST! A shout out to our Docs, Dr. Collie and Dr. Pretzer, for making the experience FUN for my kids. They are incredibly talented, kind, and their upbeat energy is so refreshing! I also very much appreciate the efficiency of this office. They find a concern, they notify you promptly, and offer options to take care of it while we’re in office (when possible) instead of having us rebook a separate appointment. This is a huge time saver for us since we live 40 min away. Love this team!
The staff here is amazing! Very personable and professional! My entire experience was great and just love Dr Macon!
