About Merritt Orthodontics

Dr. Ajanaku draws repeated praise for thorough, precise work with kids of all ages, continuing care after a doctor transition.

Reviews at Merritt Orthodontics center heavily on Dr. Kunle Ajanaku, who patients say brings a careful, patient approach following a transition in doctors at the practice. Many notes mention detailed treatment planning and steady progress, including cases where the office corrected long-neglected or abandoned braces from prior orthodontists. Families with multiple children in treatment often mention staff who know how to calm nervous kids, and several reviews point to a clean, nature-themed office with an efficient scheduling process.

I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Ajanaku and his amazing team! From day one, Dr. A and his staff—especially Jessica and Jennifer—have been incredibly friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. They truly put their patients first and always want the best outcome for everyone they treat. The office is always spotless, clean, and welcoming, which makes every visit a pleasant experience. Dr. A is knowledgeable, takes the time to answer questions, and makes you feel comfortable throughout the entire treatment process. I would recommend this office to anyone in the area who needs braces or orthodontic care. In fact, I drive past five or six other orthodontic offices just to come here because I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my smile. In my opinion, Dr. Ajanaku is the best orthodontist in Texas! Thank you to Dr. A, Jessica, Jennifer, and the entire team for providing such exceptional care.

The office is well-organized, appointments run efficiently, and we are never left waiting long. It’s clear that patient comfort and quality care are top priorities. If you’re looking for an orthodontist who is thorough, caring, and highly skilled, Dr. A is an excellent choice.
