We originally came…read morehere because of the reviews, the front office manager did mention he is good with special needs kids. Fast word to treatment, each and every time my son sat in the chair the assistants were so very welcoming and had so much patience with my son but the real issue was the orthodontist himself. He would sit down not acknowledge my son and just began looking into his mouth. My son who is very verbal would ask what he is doing and he would be answer but be very short seemed like we were a burden on him. My son would cry due to sensory issues and the ortho would seem uneasy and still not explain in detail what he was doing. On one occasion my son was not understanding how to move his tongue and he was saying this is hard and the ortho asked me does he speak English because he wasn't understanding. Another day we came in, my son was in his chair chatting with the assistants like always and the ortho was talking with another patient and when he came over, he didn't say anything to my son and just talked with the assistant on how to continue my sons treatment, he was not acknowledged at all. My son said how come he says hi to him and not me, I didn't want to hurt his feelings and just said oh he was busy today buddy! But Today was the final straw and I'm so thankful we're done with this practice, my son was getting his braces removed and as a child with sensory issues, sounds are very overwhelming and during the removal my son began to cry and assistant stopped and let him take a break but then ortho just came over and started taking his brackets off without a word and triggered my son even more. The ortho told my son to keep it down to not cry because it's scaring the other patients when I looked over there was one teenager in Invisalign. We were than asked to leave since the ortho thought it was in my sons best interest. The only reason why we stayed at this practice was the assistants they always made sure he was comfortable and doing ok. I am forever grateful for those ladies in the back.

The reason he is so good is that he is a perfectionist and will make sure that not only do the teeth look awesome when the braces come off, but that the kids are taking care of their teeth while the braces are on. He advises on when the best time to get wisdom teeth taken out and how the kids should care for their teeth during orthodontic treatment. He's not afraid to be honest with the kids when they are not doing a good job brushing or flossing. I appreciate the help as a parent because sometimes my kids needed more than just me to motivate them. I highly recommend Pederson Orthodontics because you will find the doctor and staff caring, compassionate and personable to talk to. You will not have issues with scheduling as they make it a breeze. Many of their staff are bilingual as well.

My daughter actually looks forward to her appointments and enjoys her time there. Dr Weddle is certainly very talented, but what really sets him apart is the way he gets to know each patient and their families. He really cares about his patients and goes the extra mile to explain each step of the process and provide feedback on progress. Tara runs scheduling and is very helpful. She's terrific to work with and understands how challenging it can be with changing calendars, work demands, sports obligations, etc. She is always so helpful and is always wiling to work with us to find a time that will work well for us. She is fabulous! We visited 4 different Ortho offices before we made our selection, and we are thrilled that we found such a wonderful time for our girl's orthodontic needs.

I had a similar experience as Aj G, where my concerns were only barely acknowledged and never…read morereally fixed, but as an adult (and I imagine at least someone else who put "helpful" to his review also can relate, especially given what I've seen on Health Grades under Weddle as well). I had braces as a kid (great board certified ortho, now retired) but lost my retainer in my mid 20s and my teeth and bite had shifted some with OTC overnight grind guards and I wanted to get everything back. I had what must have been a complicated case for Weddle as he was open that he needed another orthodontist to help him plan out treatment, and I very much valued that candor and the fact that he went to others immensely. A wise person knows what they don't know, right? He must really care! I had close contacts of most of my teeth (a good thing, it helps prevent cavities), and nothing resembling TMJ/TMD when I first started treatment. I now have wider gaps in almost all my teeth besides the front eight (and no more close contacts with any) and placement that now results in food getting stuck in my front teeth, and needing interdental brushes daily now for my second bicuspid through molars as well, when before I never had to go spelunking for food stuck in my teeth after a meal. I went from 3 cavities needing treatment in my entire adulthood to being a high caries risk patient mid treatment on. My bite should have been widened a little bit back to its original, as I had requested, but instead with IPR was left narrowed. My front teeth still hit my bottom front teeth when I talk and chew once a week (I asked about this repeatedly but was told I'd "adjust"), and I now experience jaw popping regularly. After years and thousands of dollars, my bite was not fixed, but made worse. Weddle was rarely present for appointments, especially once I fully paid (in contrast, I saw my ortho every single appointment I was in braces 20 years ago, which also took 4 years). Care with the rest of the team became more slapdash over time as well. A button from a back tooth was totally missed when they were removing them, though thankfully it was caught by my dentist a few months after. My scan for my retainers also did include that button, and more frustratingly, was missing half of a molar. I would have had to pay to get it redone to fix their errors because I didn't put them on in office and catch it there immediately but waited until after finishing the final trays to open and use them, so I had to use them as is. In one of the only times I saw Weddle in those last couple years, a front tooth was shaped without my being asked - if so, I would have said that it was also shaved down after my braces (their own x rays should have shown that too), and to please leave it alone. Instead that shaving made it so I had a dull ache, and sharp pain with anything remotely cool or warm, in that tooth for weeks. Even with full time prescription sensitivity toothpaste in the two years since, the pain comes back occasionally. My smile and facial structure also looks worse than before I started treatment, and I've lost SO much confidence. I would look into shelling out money I don't have with another orthodontist to see they could try and make the best of my situation, but I'm afraid of having to deal with even further damage to my dental health with a third stint in orthodontics. Why this is two stars and not one? There was a short time I was being told what we were doing, and why, early on. Everyone was very friendly throughout, yes. Scheduling was easy. Teeth were indeed moved. But what I mostly comes down to is that I blame myself a lot. I had a VERY bad gut feeling as I was about begin treatment and almost backed out, then allowed myself to be talked into it by the Weddle team because they seemed to be caring and knowledgeable. Since this hadn't happened to me before I wrote off my intuition as anxiety, despite only positive experiences with orthodontics and all dentists prior. I should have paid more attention to that gut feeling instead of the sales pitch. All in all, I'd recommend that at the very least you also consult with people who are actually board certified. And speak up when you first encounter any haphazard care, no explanation, or non-answers - I was too much of a trusting people pleaser and just let this happen to me thinking it'd all somehow work out if I trusted the process. There are clearly many raves here, my acquaintance who recommended Weddle to me seems to be happy with her results, but if you are one of the unlucky outliers, you likely will have many regrets.
