About Forrest Orthodontics
Long-term retainer care and early jaw-growth treatment for kids get particular attention here, with an orthodontist who lays out honest tradeoffs at each step.
Reviews here lean heavily on the orthodontist's approach: patients note honest explanations of options, especially around retainer repairs, and a treatment style many describe as pain-free. Early phase treatment for children with jaw-growth issues comes up more than typical, alongside adults returning years later for aligners or retainer fixes. Staff are often described as warm and welcoming, with several mentioning children who look forward to their visits.

They are the best! Everyone there is so nice and my teeth look amazing! I had braces when I was younger and lost my retainer last year. I went to Forrest Orthodontics for aligners and they explained everything to me step by step and I'm so happy with the results. I highly recommend them!

I went to Forrest Orthodontics to repair my bonded retainer and had a very positive experience. Dr. Forrest was warm, professional, and clearly explained each step of the procedure, which made me feel very comfortable. He was also honest about the possibility that fixed retainers can come loose again and recommended a removable retainer as a backup option at a reasonable price. I really appreciated his transparency and care. Highly recommend!

Had a great experience at the office. I am not originally from the area, and had an issue with a permanent retainer that was put in years ago. The office got me in ASAP and fixed it in a hurry! They were able to help me with my issue despite not being the ones who put in the retainer. Very accommodating!
