My son had to get a bridge expander and some braces when he was 10. He was so nervous and when Rio, our assistant, started explaining how they would install everything he completely broke down. He was so scared. All the staff there were so helpful and empathetic. Thank you to all the staff members especially Rio and the front desk.

I had a permanent bonded retainer after braces which broke off in less than 6 months, but the adhesive stayed on my teeth for 12 years. I’d been to at least 2 or 3 other orthodontists in that time for retainer repairs and replacements, and I would mention wanting the adhesive removed but it was never done. I came in having been recommended to me by my dentist at Bridgeport Dental Arts for a retainer adjustment or replacement. That was done well and easily, and Dr. Weller offered to remove the adhesive from my teeth without my needing to even ask. I haven’t felt the backs of my lower canines for 12 years. I really appreciate Dr. Weller and his friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Dr. Weller has helped me regain my smile back after years of putting off my dental care. He is very knowledgeable and his staff are very friendly and kind. I would recommend it to anyone if you need braces. They are very accommodating with military and work schedules as well.

Weller Orthodontics is a great place to get your teeth done because it is a nice building, has very nice staff that don’t just ask you about your teeth, they also ask you about your school, job, hobbies, etc. Also, I have had my braces on for a year and with no complaints whatsoever. The technique of the staff, including dr. Weller, are so incredible that I was honestly surprised. They also take intricate precautions for Covid and ensure that everyone is safe. I would highly recommend Weller Orthodontics for you or your child, looking for safe and reliable braces, retainers, or just a checkup.

Wow!! What an amazing group of humans. So kind and inviting. They have all your questions answered. The staff is so gentle and Explanatory. The office is beautiful and cozy. Sit by the fireplace and relax, because you're being treated like a VIP. The front desk is a wealth of knowledge. They do work very well with insurance too. My 8yo has ADHD and every person in the office treats her so kindly they work so well to provide the best possible treatment plan. We aren't patients for straight teeth. We're patients because it's medically necessary for our girls pallet to be spread. With that being said, I could not be more grateful for the Weller Orthodontic team. And you will be treated like a VIP too.
