About Smile Doctors Orthodontics - Temple

Young children in particular get patient, playful attention here, with siblings from the same family often treated together under Dr. Andrew.

Reviews here lean heavily toward families managing braces or aligners for more than one child, with young patients getting particular attention through toys, songs, and patience during nervous moments. Dr. Andrew is frequently credited with explaining treatment options and financial plans in detail before starting. The office itself comes up often as clean and welcoming, with amenities like massage chairs for waiting parents. A recurring group of reviews raises concerns about billing surprises and pressure to start treatment quickly.

I was referred to your facility for my son and my daughter’s braces. The doctor explains everything well and as far as the financing it’s pretty expensive I chose to go with you guys because I was referred by My Nephew and some family members who also have Braces from your facility. The dental assistants and other employees could be a little bit less rude. My daughter went in there and she told my daughter go brush your teeth and we didn’t even know there was a place to brush the children’s teeth after the 6th time going there. Nothing was ever explained to us. Then they were always snobby and irritated. I like to ask questions and know what will be best for my children. Braces are not free and are very Expensive so I expected them to be a little bit more understanding, kind and be sympathetic towards children. I think things should be better explain to the parents and the children from day 1. Also have a little bit more understanding and not be so irritated. This wasn’t the first time it usually is every time we go in there.

Miranda and staff are amazing! 10/10 would recommend this place, the only negative I have are the kiddos that stay porking around in the area. Not sure whose kids they are but it became annoying at one point.

My son had a severe underbite and now has the most beautiful smile. Appointments were always quick and painless and Invisalign was a perfect choice for him .
