About Wells Orthodontics
A free school-pickup shuttle and a focus on bite and jaw correction, not just straight teeth, bring families to Dr. Wells from well over an hour away.
Wells Orthodontics treats children, teens, and adults, with reviews often noting that Dr. Wells looks at bite and jaw structure rather than just cosmetic straightness. Families mention traveling long distances because of a shuttle service that picks kids up from nearby schools for appointments, and many describe the office answering questions and outlining treatment plans in detail before starting. Anxious children, teens, and adults are frequently mentioned as being put at ease with extra time and a gentle approach, and several adult patients describe bite correction relieving jaw pain or headaches.

From start to finish, front desk, Dr Wells, I was totally impressed. Dr Wells was VERY thorough and took a lot of time with me and I felt really good about my entire experience!! Everyone is so nice!! Thank you to a good end to my day!!
I had a wonderful experience at Wells Orthodontics from start to finish. I had heard a lot of horror stories about braces and bad orthodontists that made me nervous but I’m so happy I found this Dr. Wells and his staff because they are the best of the best. They all made the process seem very easy and do a great job explaining each step along the way. I appreciate how transparent and accurate Dr. Wells was in regards to the length of my treatment. When I had any issues, the front desk staff always answered the phone and got me scheduled quickly to fix it. I couldn’t be happier with my new smile and will forever recommend Wells Orthodontics to anyone and everyone needing braces! Would give 10 stars if I could.
I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Wells and his staff. I struggled with finding an orthodontist. It was such a relief to find Dr. Wells. He listened to my concerns and has been totally interactive. Dr. Wells has an incredible chair side manner. He is soft spoken, caring, listens, and has a lovely sense of humor. He is spot on in addressing my prior unfavorable outcome with invisalign. He's the best!!!!! I can't say enough goodness about is care and skills!! Update: completed care with Dr wells. My experience was wonderful the whole 2 years. A man who whistles while working on your teeth loves what he does! My last day was so special. I received a very special gift from him. The staff all wonderful! Thank you all!!
I’ve been out of treatment with Dr. Wells for a while now, but I had to jump on and write this review. I have never been more confident in my life then I am now with my new smiles through Dr. Wells and his team! There are times when I catch myself in the mirror talking to someone and I go “oh my gosh, that’s my smile” changed me life! Every appointment I had, from the front desk, to the assistants, and Dr. Wells absolutely amazing! I would give them 10 stars Thank you thank you to the staff and Dr. Wells for giving me the smile of my dreams!! I truly appreciate you guys and cannot thank you enough
Dr. Andrew Wells and his wonderful staff offer an exceptional experience when it comes to orthodonthic care. If I'm being honest, getting braces later in life (28) can be intimidating, but I never once felt uncomfortable while receiving treatment and care from Dr. Wells. He is thorough when explaining things and quite personable, making this entire process a complete joy to experience. Regina, Alice, and the other ladies that work with Dr. Wells are excellent -- you can guarantee a warm welcome the moment you walk through the door. I will continue to sing the praises of Wells Orthodontics when talking to anyone who inquires about my experience of getting braces as an adult. Dr. Wells is truly one of the best orthodontists, if not the best, in town.
