About Smile Doctors Orthodontics - Waco
Staff have hand-delivered a replacement retainer to a patient's home, and Invisalign is offered as an alternative to jaw surgery recommended elsewhere.
This practice draws consistent praise for how it handles retainers, from detailed care instructions to one case of a staff member delivering a replacement directly to a patient's home. Reviews also mention Invisalign being presented as an option instead of jaw surgery a patient had been told they needed elsewhere. Dr. Syvertsen is mentioned as attentive and thorough with questions, and several reviews describe kids and anxious patients settling in comfortably thanks to staff who work to ease nerves before procedures like debonding.
