Both my kids have gotten orthodontics there (one of them two rounds)... and now I'm going there myself. Dr. Lindgren is great, and we've had good experiences with both assistants and support staff! read more

Upgrade more issues Dentist. Lindgren also deliberately made my top teeth wider than my bottom teeth, resulting in misalignment. Now, all four top teeth have root canal issues, and the cost to fix this is over $20,000. On top of that, he used an intense light that left dark spots on my lips after drying the glue. It seems he did all this intentionally, with these problems only becoming apparent years later. I recorded all my visits and can provide proof if necessary. Dentist. Lindgren falsely claimed I cursed his staff, which is completely untrue. If I had, I would ask him to specify exactly what was said and to whom. I urge him to do the right thing. This behavior is unprofessional and immature. Dentist. John Lindgren and his wife, both highly educated and quick to defend themselves, seem skilled at deflecting criticism rather than addressing the real issues at hand. Despite their credentials, their behavior throughout my treatment was unprofessional and disrespectful. read more

It's been a year since my braces came off, and I love my smile. I enjoyed my experience with Dr. Lindgren and his office. I opted for traditional braces, and the results are perfect. Everyone here is so friendly. I had a baby a year ago, and they were able to accommodate my pregnancy. When I got my braces off, my daughter was just a few weeks old and my husband introduced her to everyone. I had a final retainer check last week, and they asked about my daughter by name. Dr. Lindgren will help you achieve the smile you want, and I did not feel weird or awkward as an adult doing this again. When I went last week, the office is going above and beyond in times of Covid with safety precautions. Highly recommend this office for your dream smile. read more

Every single review on here is true. From reception to treatment and follow-up, Arlington Orthodontics is of the absolute highest caliber. Dr Lindgren and his staff are capable, trustworthy experts. I trusted Dr Lindgren and team with my child for palette expander and braces. Everything came out beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Natural, straight teeth. All I can do is look at them and smile smile smile. I can't even communicate how highly I recommend this proficient practice. 10 stars. read more

I'm surprised by the positive reviews and scratching my head. Here are the reasons that I would not recommend this orthodontist, after seeing him for awhile: 1) The hours are very limited compared to other orthodontist hours. You should compare before signing up. Specifically, the office is only open Monday - Thursday from 9 am - 5 pm. No early or late hours like other offices. There used to be one Saturday a month (and the reason I chose him), but no more. (The office is not open for normal business on Fridays, but there is one staff person a technician - there ONLY to fix your braces if loose or hurting you. ). 2) Dr. Lindgren only works two days - Mon and Tues. He has hired a very new and inexperienced Dr to cover Wed and Thur. Since everyone wants to see Dr. Lindgren, unless you have a very flexible schedule, you end up scheduling to see his new colleague. So... you end up paying a lot of money for Dr. Lindgren's experience and reputation, but never seeing him and using a new orthodontist without much experience. 3) Dr. Lindgren says that you can see him every 6 weeks between appointments, but in the end, his hours are so limited that you end up having to see him every 8-9 weeks minimum. ** If it's that way a lot, that translates into having your braces on longer, ultimately. ** 4) The technicians do everything. Dr. Lindgren or his associate come by to confirm that they have good judgment, but it is very performative. Also, the doctors never check the technician's work. They technicians seem great, but braces are very expensive and I chose Dr. Lindgren based upon his experience, not his technicians. 5) Getting an appointment is even worse over any holidays. In winter, they take off a lot of time for Christmas (which would be fine except that the office is so limited to begin with that you end up having to wait longer periods between appointments). In summer, they reduce their hours because it's break. Again, that all translates into longer time wearing your braces. 6) His prices were more expensive than others. I chose him, but now regret that given his limited hours. 7) My cousin's son has great teeth, but she took him to several orthodontists for consultations (since she was taking an older daughter anyway). While others said that he didn't need braces, Dr. Lindgren thought he did. When I heard that, it made me less trusting of Dr. Lindgren's opinion. Here are the positives of the office: 1) The parking lot is a plus; 2) The office is clean; 3) The staff are friendly and professional - not more than average, but I have never had a problem with them; 4) with one or two exceptions, the technicians seem experienced and competent; and 5) My teeth do look like they are getting better, so it's not that the office is incompetent - just very overpriced and providing limited services such as very limited hours or hands-on orthodontic work or attention. At this point, I am going to finish my braces. It's almost impossible to switch orthodontists and not worth the hassle. However, I would not recommend this office. read more

Doctor John and his teams are amazing people. Very rare to see an office where all staffs are awesome. As an adult over 30 looking for an Orthodentist, it was an easy choice once I met the team. Results were amazing and I recommend this place. read more

Our daughter has had braces done, adjusted, and taken off here over the span of 1.5 years, including just after COVID-19. The office is well managed, and the staff is very nice to work with, very accommodating on schedule needs and changes. The office always stayed on schedule, without long waits. Dr. Lindgren is always informative and pleasant. They have fun incentives for the kids. Right after re-opening during COVID-19, they were able to take the braces off, very safe on procedures. A very professionally run office and nice people to work with. read more

Ok, let me start with my complicated Orthodontics history. This is my 3rd time getting braces (ya, no kidding). My first braces experience in elementary school was with Orthodontics students due to budget concern -- of course that didn't go well and they started me on a second round treatment right afterward. The supervising dentist at the time even told me that I didn't need retainers. So after getting into my 30s, my teeth alignment is out of place again. Now I have open bite. So I decided to do braces again. I went to 2 other orthodontists for consultation before choosing Arlington Orthodontics. One was widely referred by colleagues but her practice was too far, and her quote wasn't as competitive. Another was way too pushy in selling their service and even told me they can expedite the process from 20 months to 14 months. If you know something about adult teeth, you never want to rush your Orthodontics treatment. It can cause the root of the teeth to shrink, which can result in tooth loss. Dr. Lind green was the only orthodontist who spent the resources to take dental X-ray and 3D scan of my teeth among all these consultation, and free of charge. He spent a good amount of time to explain how prior ortho treatment shortened my tooth root, and how he'd adjust treatment to me. He was honest up front that I may not be able to complete treatment should they find my root shortened to a dangerous length. (He said he'd X-ray my teeth to monitor treatment). I chose an honest orthodontist, knowing that I'd be in good hands. No other ortho has taken the time and patience to explain to me. After all, I am he one paying for the service! Oh, the reclining chair, AC, and music makes a good short nap during my braces appointments. Haha. read more

I had to drop in for an emergency ortho appointment and loved the service! Arlington Orthodontics took great care of me, got me in to the office very quickly and was an absolutely wonderful experience. Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Lindgren and his staff are amazing. They took care of my daughter very well. Always on time with her appointments and also if there was a problem they took her in right away. Also there is a lot of free parking. read more

I'm just a few months in and so far I've been very happy with my choice of this practice. It's a little out of my way as I live in the city but the reviews were so good I decided to have a consult (consult is free which is awesome). The staff is awesome, and the dr. explained all my options clearly. I had braces as a kid but my bottom teeth have shifted. I ended up going with lower braces over Invisalign because my main concern was that one lower tooth was poking up and starting to create a snaggletooth (not cool), and Invisalign wouldn't correct that as well as braces. So now I'm looking super cool with adult braces for the next year haha but at least the awesome staff and the dr make the whole thing pleasant to deal with. read more

At the age of 34 I decided to get braces. While searching for a orthodontist I came upon Arlington Orthodontics. It a small practice that has all the latest technology and the most amazing staff. I can't thank Dr. Lindgren and the entire team that has helped guide me through the process over the last 2.5 years. From every adjustment to being honest and open about any questions or concerns I had, they were incredible. I would highly recommend you check them out if you are looking at getting braces no matter the age! read more

I came here to make a retainer. Dr. Lindgren and all his staff are so kind and welcoming. They went above and beyond to help me with my situation. I've already recommended this office to all our friends in the area. We'll definitely come back here for our child;) read more

super warm staff and they really worked with me to get a rush appointment. Great orthodontist office!

We have two kids who need braces and it has been a great experience with Dr. Lindgren, who is top notch, as well as all the staff at Arlington Orthodontics. convenient location and a parking lot in back right in Arlington Center. Dr. Lindgren has kids of his own and top-notch training, and so won't let you or your kids down! read more

We were referred to Arlington Orthodontics by our dentist and we have been very happy with our choice.

Very friendly and welcoming people. My daughter felt very comfortable and looked forward to her visits to the office.

We have been so happy with the care at arlington orthodontics. Everyone is so friendly and kind- from the front desk staff to the clinical staff. We appreciated the way everything was explained in a way we could all understand, including my almost 9 yo. read more

Arlington Orthodontics is excellent. They explain everything ahead of time. Appointments are usually quick and on-time. My kids enjoy their visits and the staff is top-notch. If you are looking for an orthodontist, I would highly recommend Dr. Lindgren. read more

I'll start by saying I actually miss going to orthodontics appointments. Dr Lindgren, Kara, and the rest of the staff at Arlington Orthodontics are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They really do make you feel like you are part of the family every time you visit. The service and facilities are also exceptional. At a previous consult with a different orthodontist I had felt both limited in my options and rushed towards a particular outcome. I'm really glad I got a second opinion from Dr Lindgren as he clearly explained what was available as well as any concerns and what the costs would be. The months of Invisalign felt like a breeze and totally without complication. I highly recommend Arlington Orthodontics to anyone looking for orthodontics work. read more

The staff at Arlington Orthodontics are helpful and attentive. The entire environment is friendly and caring. Not only do they make your teeth look great, but they are encouraging and supportive during what could otherwise be an unpleasant experience. And they let you pick your favorite colors for everything! read more

I can't pretend to be an expert in the field of Orthodontics, but I think I have a good handle on how businesses are run (from an operational standpoint, how they seem to treat/view their clients, and in the case of Pediatric Orthodontics how they connect with their young patients). Arlington Orthodontics was the 3rd consultative appointment I went to with my daughter and I could not have been more impressed. Their staff simply gets it. Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. They are able to engage and communicate with both the young client (in my case) as well as myself (the parent). While we are in the early stages of working with them, I have to express my absolute satisfaction with having been able to find/meet with them and (as others have stated) to have a business of this caliber in Arlington. I firmly believe that what works (and is right) for me/my family might not be right/best for everyone else. But I think anyone looking for an Orthodontist is doing themselves a disservice if they don't at least meet with Dr. Lindgren and his staff. read more

I've now sent 2 daughters here and I'm so pleased with the outcomes. Their teeth look great. The office is staff is also really easy to work with. Highly recommended. read more

Dr. Lindgren and his staff are amazing. Our son has had an expanded for several months, and just got partial braces. They are gentle, kind, and great communicators. We have the upmost confidence in them! read more

Dr. Lindgren is a wonderful Orthodontist with fantastic bedside manner. The office is also very modern and immaculately clean, which I loved! read more

My son was suggested for braces in 6th grade. He is getting his braces off this month and has had a great experience with Dr. Lindgren and his staff. The free parking in large lot behind the office is great. The staff are pleasant and the clients get to sign in on their own, making my son feel independent and responsible for his appointment. The staff make every effort to welcome their clients. We highly recommend Arlington Orthodontics for young kids and I've notice a growing number of adults as well. Very convenient location just next to Whole Foods in Arlington. read more

We couldn't have been happier with our experience at Arlington Orthodontics. We had put off orthodontics for over a year despite our dentist's urging because of my child's sensory and anxiety concerns. We found a perfect fit with Dr. Lindgren and his entire team. They were patient, kind, and detailed in their explanations of their plan. I can't think of a single thing that I would change about our experience. If you're in the area, look no further, this is the place to go! read more

Arlington is lucky to have such a state-of-the-art orthodontist right in this town. I was so impressed by this practice. Their facility is super modern and up to date, the chairs are comfy and they even have this technology that allows you to get molds taken of your teeth without that nasty putty stuff that gags you. the doctor couldn't be kinder, it is all family run and his wife who works at the front is the sweetest receptionist you could ask for. They made me a retainer and their prices seemed very reasonable. read more

Excellent, quality service and the best price in town. This is the best orthodontic service I've ever had over 40 years of requiring repeated teeth straightening. I was so happy when I found them. Added bonus - They're even sincerely nice! read more
