About Griffin Orthodontics - West Allis
Nervous first-time patients and children often settle in quickly here, with Dr. David J. Griffin talking through each step and phase 1 treatment sometimes starting around age 8.
Reviews at Griffin Orthodontics describe a practice especially attentive to anxious or first-time patients, with notes about longstanding dental anxiety being eased and nervous children calmed during appointments. Dr. David J. Griffin is described as explaining his work step by step while treating, coordinating with outside specialists on complicated cases, and offering second opinions that in some cases avoided expanders or extractions recommended elsewhere. Families mention multiple siblings going through treatment over the years, and several reviews note early phase 1 treatment starting around age 8. A few reviews describe a less positive experience, including one case with an unresolved bite issue.

I had such a great experience here with my oldest son about 8 years ago that when it was time for my younger boys to need orthodontic care, there was no question where we would go. From the friendly receptionist to the knowledgeable and caring doctor, everyone treats you with kindness and respect. The staff is honest, professional, and genuinely cares about their patients. Highly recommend Griffin Orthodontics!

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Griffin Orthondontics. We’ve been coming here for several visits, first for my daughter’s palate expander and now for Phase 1 of her braces. Dr Griffin and his entire team has been professional, friendly, and genuinely caring every step of the way. They always take the time to answer our questions, make my daughter feel comfortable, and explain everything clearly. Their kindness and personable approach have made each visit a positive experience. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for excellent orthodontic care!
