About A Perfect Smile Orthodontics
Young children frequently start phase-1 treatment early here, and Dr. David Taylor draws praise across families with several kids in braces at once.
A Perfect Smile Orthodontics handles a high volume of braces cases, including many children who begin phase-1 treatment early, and it's common for several siblings from the same family to go through treatment there over the years. Dr. David Taylor is frequently named for his work on braces patients, and reviews often mention a clean, modern office with a play area that helps keep younger patients at ease. Most reviews describe straighter smiles and steady progress, though a smaller number report bite or midline issues turning up after long, multi-year treatments.

Fantastic experience with this orthodontic team! I had braces for two years while constantly traveling, and they went above and beyond to fit me in whenever we came down to the Valley. The staff is exceptionally kind and accommodating, and they always took the extra time to ensure my braces were comfortable and poky- free before I walked out the door. Highly recommend!"

I truly can't thank this team enough. They completely transformed my smile, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Everyone was so kind, patient, and genuinely cared throughout the entire process. I'm so grateful for all of their hard work and finally have the confidence to smile without hesitation. I highly recommend them!

My experience in a perfect smile orthodontist was a long but definitely worth the wait. I like the way my new smile is now. The staff was always nice and welcoming every single time I visited and I highly recommend bringing your kids.

Very Good Service. I just got my braces off today, and even though these appointments are lengthy, everything was done pretty fast. I had missed a couple of appointments due to a family emergency that prevented me from continuing with my on-schedule appointments, but they were very understanding and allowed me to continue treatment.
