About Lathrop Family Orthodontics
A mother-daughter doctor team, Dr. Hillary Lathrop and Dr. Marie Lathrop, treats multiple kids in the same family while also handling retainer repairs years after braces come off.
Reviews describe a mother-daughter practice run by Dr. Hillary Lathrop and Dr. Marie Lathrop, with families often bringing several children through treatment over the years. Retainer replacements and refits come up often, even long after original treatment ended, and the doctors are noted for thoughtful planning that avoids unnecessary extractions. Teens are mentioned more here than typical, with reviewers noting steady progress checks and treatment timelines that generally run close to a year or so for braces. A billing dispute over a promised lifetime retainer replacement was mentioned as frustrating before it got resolved.

Great experience. Staff is nice, thorough and helpful. My daughter was very nervous about getting braces but everyone at Lathrop made it really easy. The whole process took about a year and during each visit we knew we had nothing to worry about. Highly recommend!

Lathrop Family Orthodontics is a gem! I had braces as a youth, but as I aged my teeth shifted and bite changed. Options were thoughtfully presented to me and I chose an Invisalign course of treatment. I was always treated with friendly professionalism and care by both doctors and technicians. The front office and billing staff are first class too. I highly and confidently recommend them! Thank you all - my teeth look and feel great again!

One of the best orthodontists ever. They are all incredibly nice, and if you are lucky, they can even move your sessions up so you can get your braces off quicker. 10/10.
