Great experience at Horsey Orthodontics over the past two years! All staff were always kind and friendly. I got my braces removed today 8/31/2026 and I’m very happy with the results. Highly recommend!

This review is long overdue. I've been out of my braces for over a year now, and still ecstatic with my treatment! As an adult patient in a career that requires lots of speaking with lots of different people, I was self-conscious of getting traditional braces, and did not want to deal with the lisping and compliance concerns that come with aligners. I researched my options and found inBrace, the behind-the-teeth braces. Dr. Horsey was one of the only doctors that offered them in the area. From day one, I felt taken care of and excited for my journey. Everyone--and I mean everyone--in the office is so incredibly nice, and if you have a question, they answer it or find someone who can. Now, for inBrace--this was DEFINITELY the right choice for me. They require much less maintenance throughout treatment, and they're invisible to the outside world. The appliances do take some getting used to, but I would assume that's the same for any orthodontic tool. Dr. Horsey made sure my teeth were literally perfect before we removed the devices. In total, I had two normal wires and two refinement wires--that means I only needed to get my wires "adjusted" four times during my treatment. Really nice if you're a busy person. They also offer a payment plan! I had ortho coverage from my dental insurance that covered a little less than half the treatment, and then I was able to pay off the additional over time with no interest. I can't say enough good things about this team and Dr. Horsey. I get complimented on my smile all the time now. What they say is true--a smile is the best accessory!
