About Foothill Orthodontic Specialists
Dr. Chandler and Dr. Anderson both draw praise for Invisalign and clear aligner work, with Disney-themed offices designed to keep young kids at ease.
Invisalign and clear aligner treatment come up more often here than braces-only cases, alongside traditional and self-ligating braces for patients of different ages. Families with young children point to the Disney-themed office, toy rewards, and a tendency to time the start of braces to a child's growth rather than rushing treatment. Scheduling is a mixed point: many find appointments easy to fit around school and work, while others describe long wait times, doctor rotation between visits, and limited Friday availability. Billing and treatment length occasionally run longer than expected, particularly for some Invisalign cases.

I waited a year to leave this review, I wanted to see if the 2 years of metal braces would actually last. Wow, am I pleased with the results! These guys are on top of thier game over here. I couldn't believe how they managed to move my teeth around to bring my smile back. Highly recommend them, worth every penny!

Maddie was absolutely amazing. My daughter was very nervous and stressed about getting her arch expander and Maddie had the most patience I’ve ever seen. She explained everything to her and made sure she felt comfortable with the procedure. Thank you!
