I've become wayyy more secure about my smile despite the braces .. I really have actually come to love my brace face lol. My teeth and my bite are so much better than before and I'm happy I choose Payless 4 braces .. I knew Dr Christian would be up for a challenge! The assistants are the most compassionate and caring staff . I have NEVER ever been to a office where every single one of the assistants were so kind , gentle and knowledgeable of their tasks at hand .

The front desk staff has been pleasant and accomodating and the doctors I have spoken to have…read moreanswered my questions. However, I have many concerns with this practice 1) there is a revolving door of doctors 2) each doctor we've seen has had wildly differing opinions on treatment plans 2) they have really over corrected each time we've come in, to the point of needing to book in-between emergency appointments because they created a nearly horizontal flare and then overlap. 4) There is zero accountability if you have an issue. Doctors are totally booked and just say they weren't the one who did the last adjustment. I would highly recommend a practice with one or two doctors over this model. Lastly, I believe in breaks for workers, but being closed for an hour and a half for lunch each day is wild - just do one hour or have shifts.

I took my daughter for an orthodontic appointment. After she did all X-rays etc.... He saw my daughter in an office chair, barely looked in her mouth, mumbled two things about her very complicated situation, walked off when I asked a basic follow-up question. I was shocked. The worst experience for me and my daughter. What a waste of time. If I can give Dr. Kastin 0, I would not hesitate. He tried to briefly explain the reason for the set up of the office instead of a dental chair by saying something like he's only there once a month -- but still makes no sense that he's going to do work or even provide a consultation to a patient sitting in a small office chair. This would not have been so bad if he had given more than 2 minutes of his time and he wasn't so ARROGANT and RUDE. One last thing -- I noticed when I was leaving they provide various gifts in return for promising to write a review. They didn't ask me to do one probably because I didn't look too pleased with the service.

If you're an adult with a crossbite or complex dental issue, please get a few opinions before starting treatment. I truly wish I had.

As you must know, when you get your braces removed, you have to wear retainers for a while after that. Today I went back just to get my retainers fixed and to see if my teeth had moved in anyway.

For two years I had on braces that did me no good at all! Unfortunately, I have a tooth that should've been token out because it was over two other teeth, but they decided not to remove it which pushed my front two teeth out even more and caused severe blisters underneath my lips! Also, the last day I was getting my braces changed, Dr. Gehani literally pushed me down with his arms so I could not get up because I was gagging like crazy on the gushy stuff that you use to get you fitted. This resulted in me crying my eyes out in front of the whole waiting room, and Dr. Gehani running into his apartment from being ashamed. Also, his wife was VERY RUDE and kicked my mom and I out. After that, my dad was really upset and called Dr. Gehani explaining that he wanted to speak to him. I DONT KNOW WHY but this putrid mad decided to tell the police that he is threatening him. With absolutely no proof they arrested my dad and let him go after a few hours considering the fact that there was legitimacy. I'm so surprised to see that this place has 5 stars. The office is crappy, connecting, and everyone here is RUDE. Please, find a better place. There are millions of orthodontists that you can visit which will save you ALOT of time and money.

She also speaks through the process and let's you know what she's doing next which is helpfully (e.g., "I'm going to place power-chains"). Lea has been the first to ask me if I'd like to floss and brush after she removed my wire. I really really appreciated this. I've experienced other techs who don't ask and rush you through the process. Lastly, she offered me a hook for placing my rubberbands in and some wax refills. This was a 10/10 experience. I definitely recommend Lea if you're going to the Astoria Diamond braces!

Let me preface that at the end of your Invisiline treatment you are only given one set of permanent plastic retainers. Whereas my family and friends that went to other places for treatment were given at least two sets of retainers. Did you know that if you lose or damage these retainers it's $400. Yes, they need to be replaced every few years so imagine the cost. Also, why was a charged $400 when a past reviewer stated she only paid $100 to replace her top row? Shouldn't my set be $200 if that's the case? This office completely ripped me off. Or the front desk picks and chooses what price to give to patients. I went to the office because I thought I lost my retainer while on vacation, yes this was completely on me for that. The front desk lady told me $400 for top and bottom row replacement and to make a mold in which they would make the plastic retainer in house so that I would get it fast. It was almost 6pm so they told me that they would have it the next day. Later that evening my partner found my retainer. So I immediately called the office the following morning when the office opened to ask whether or not the retainer has been made if not to please not make them obviously since I found my retainer! The lady on the phone says no that they haven't been made yet as of now and that she would let the office know not to make them and to see if they can process a refund. She told me they would give me a follow up call in a few days. I get a call two days later, the worker tells me they made my retainer and to pick it up. So this money hungry office knew that I found the retainer but proceeded to make a shifted retainer for me anyway. Which I just wasted $400 on, if they weren't able to give me a refund at least give me an alternative treatment or something for that cost but I was not given an alternative or anything. They just went along and made the retainer knowing I don't need it. Horrible office, uncaring and money hungry employees only who just want their commission and over charge. Should be illegal. Go someplace else for Invisiline.
