: "We can't do anything to correct the overbite until Phase 2, and because his overbite is skeletal, be prepared for him to potentially need permanent teeth removed or jaw surgery to correct it." That was what we were told after my 8-year-old son's first orthodontic consultation. Thankfully, I decided to seek a second opinion and found Dr. Paulson. Dr. Paulson explained that we had actually come to him at an ideal time. Because my son's jaw was still actively growing, he was an excellent candidate to address his overbite now, during Phase 1 treatment, without surgical or invasive procedures. He fitted my son with Invisalign First with mandibular occlusion blocks. My son is very sensory-sensitive and a picky eater, so I was initially concerned about how he would tolerate treatment. To my surprise, he adapted extremely well and has experienced little to no discomfort with the trays. He is still in active Phase 1 treatment, but after just 15 weeks, the change has been remarkable--his overbite is already nearly fully corrected. I actually became teary-eyed while thanking Dr. Paulson because I am so grateful that we found him when we did. I told him that more parents of children like mine need to know that early treatment options like this exist. The first photo shows my son's overbite before treatment, and the second shows his progress after only 15 weeks (a little blurry because getting an 8-year-old to sit still for a photo is apparently its own challenge!). We are incredibly thankful to Dr. Paulson and his team for giving our son an option we didn't know was possible. Thank you, Dr. Paulson! read more

Dr. Paulson & his staff are amazing! No matter who I interacted with, they were all friendly, engaging, and kind. Dr. Paulson introduced me to Invisalign to straighten my teeth & elevate my smile and it was a year long, interesting adventure with incredible results! I stuck to the very detailed plan he laid out for me for the year. I kept all my appointments, and I am 100% happy with my results. I have now graduated from Invisalign & am entering my Retainer era! I will wear my retainer every night for the rest of my life, but that's a small price to pay for the incredible results and beautiful smile I now have! read more

They go above and beyond! I assumed my appointment was going to be a quick one and I came alone with my 6 month old and 3 year old. I was unable to keep an eye on the kids while they worked in my mouth. The employees jumped right in trying to console my baby who would not stop crying. Along with entertain my 3 year old. I felt so bad at my mistake but they were very gracious. read more

Dr. Paulson and staff are all extremely friendly. Both of my kids have been going to Dr. Paulson for over a year with Invisalign. During consultation, Dr. Paulson and staff were thorough and went over both options of braces and Invisalign giving me what was recommended for my kids. We have already completed their first stage and it is absolutely remarkable. The difference in the teeth alignment is absolutely amazing. My son's front teeth were turned in and it is completely straight now. Through out the year, every single appointment scheduled was on time and their entire staff were very accommodating. We had to make some changes to our scheduled appointments and the staff always returned my call and they always followed up with a text message. I would absolutely recommend Paulson Orthodontics. They are very professional and are experts in what they do. read more

They are all so very kind and helpful. Both my children were seen here for their braces, removal, and retainers and I could not be happier with the results and the doctor's genuine kindness. read more

We had a fantastic experience at Paulson Orthodontics! My daughter just finished her Invisalign treatment, and her teeth look absolutely wonderful. Appointments were always on time, making the process so convenient for our busy schedule. We also love the fun Disney theme throughout the office--it makes visits exciting and enjoyable for kids... and parents Dr. Paulson and his team are incredibly friendly and professional. They really took the time to explain the process every step of the way. We couldn't be happier with our choice to use Paulson Orthodontics! read more

I'm writing this review as an adult patient who started having a pretty advanced open bite develop in my 20s. At that time I was in grad school and not in a financial position to address the problem and had to wait years until I could. I have congenitally missing adult teeth as well, so the combination made me unwilling to smile for pictures and embarrassed to laugh open-mouthed around people. When I was ready to tackle my teeth I was expecting to pay thousands, but I had other professionals quote me at 11k - 24k with one suggesting that 'probably' health insurance would cover the cost (and if not?!). They wanted to do surgery and do fairly intensive corrections to correct my teeth and bite. I finally found a dentist who understood I just wanted to be able to bite down on a sandwich and not leave the tomato behind, not be on TV! That dentist (Cesario) referred me here. Within one meeting I was overjoyed at how smoothly the consultation went. With Invisalign retainers and an 18 month (or so) payment plan, I was going to get braces for under 5k in very manageable payments. My only regret was not doing this sooner. Thanks to Dr Paulson and his team! read more

All the staff and Dr.Paulson are very professional and polite. We have are very fortunate to have such a great orthodontist in Redlands.

Staff is friendly, Dr. Paulson is kind, professional and efficient. Plenty of availability and if there's a minor issue, they always make room for you. Atmosphere is so fun which is an added bonus to the great care we've gotten here. read more

Dr Paulson and his team are so welcoming. Office visits are enjoyable and they did a great job with my smile! I highly recommend.

Very efficient and thorough. I'm 33 years old getting orthodontics for the first time and the process has been a breeze. Jenny and Dr. Paulson went as far as to call and coordinate their treatment plan with my general dentist (I need a crown replaced and some other minor work) to make sure the procedures were done in an ideal order for the best overall outcome. I just started my treatment plan but have no doubt I'm in great hands and have already started recommending this office to my family. read more

Dr. Paulson and his team are caring, efficient, accommodating and professional. Our daughter's bracket came off and, having called in, they were able to squeeze us in and had her sorted out fast. read more

After having a very negative experience at a different orthodontist in Redlands, I was facing the possibility of either: 1, having my braces on for several months longer than necessary or 2, having my braces removed by my original ortho and then finding someone else remove them elsewhere. Long story short, my original orthodontist was very unaccommodating and unwilling to help me. I'm moving in the beginning of January and told them 2-3 months before that that I would be leaving and unable to make my final appointment (since it was day I started my new job in Northern California). I posted on Facebook and SEVERAL people recommended Dr Paulson and his team. Dr Paulson personally messaged me and was incredibly accommodating and sympathetic to my situation. He was willing to get me in somehow the very next day, but I ended up waiting 3 days before going in. Everyone that I met here was friendly, kind and helpful. My only complaint is that I didn't hear about Paulson Orthodontics sooner and had to go through over a year of unfriendly service at the other ortho (on orange st., near vons) I highly recommend if you're in the area to go with Dr Paulson for your ortho needs. Thank you again :) read more

Paulson Orthodontics - Surprising bonus: they use the clear retainers that are almost completely unnoticeable. - Orthodontists Near Me - Redlands, California

I will need to edit this review later in my treatment because today was only a consultation, but really impressed from my first impressions. Honest, competent, flexible, actively listened. I messed up on my appointment time and they still made it work. The X-ray equipment was extremely nice and up to date, much less pain than the equipment I've had to bite down on in other offices. Friendly and accommodating woman took my photos and and got my dental history. Dr. Paulson was very thorough with the consultation and made sure I understood what was needed in my treatment. Sometimes orthos/dentists are vague and misleading, but he was the opposite. The woman discussed payment options with me for treatment in a very clear manner and didn't apply any pressure. Great experience overall, also super cool eclectic design of the facility. read more

Dr. Paulson, is not only a phenomenal orthodontist but an incredible humanitarian. He has held events at his dental practice for the community and his generosity is unbelievable. He truly is one of the most down to earth doctors you will ever meet. His newly renovated office is absolutely stellar! His staff, especially Lizz(forgive me if it's Liz) gave me 5 star phone treatment with educating me on dental PPO's, the ortho benefit and waiting period as well as dual coverage. Say what? My husband called a few other offices and not one informed him about any of this! I had told him from the get-go Dr. Paulson is who we're going with for our daughters orthodontic needs. His staff is extremely kind, respectful and attentive. They're incredibly friendly and it's not the fru-fru friendly with a "like OMG, hi, big smile, welcome" and then it's really noticeable that it's not truly a compassionate welcoming. Even on the phone. Our family are not his patients, yet. However, we will be and I can attest to that Dr. Paulson has been referred to me by a minimum of 12 different mothers! That to me is stellar. On top of his great reviews from word of mouth, his community outreach and Yelp reviews have us 'sold'. Looking forward to my daughter taking a photo with that surfboard, lol. Seriously, look nowhere else. read more

This was my first time at this dentists' office. The receptionist was a peach, but Dr. Lowe needs to learn how to treat his patients. He was so rude and demeaning towards me my entire visit-- I didn't even feel comfortable enough allowing him to work on me so, I didn't. I walked out, let the receptionist know, and left the entire building to write this review. I am a young adult black woman, which might be worth mentioning, although I have no idea if that had to do with why he acted this way towards me. To each their own, however, because of this experience, no member of my family will be seen by Dr. Lowe henceforth. read more

Very friendly environment. Love the coffee machine and arcade upstairs. There's always fun things and contest going on. Super fun!

Super friendly employees and orthodontist. My son loved it and they made us feel very comfortable about my 11 year old getting braces. It took a while to get the initial appointment but after that it was much easier. read more

They are cheery and have Disneyish flair.. I agree with the town talk that it is a bit of a factory mill packing as many high paying customers in and out as possible and difficult to get appointment. Most recent 10 days for incident that stopped ability to wear Invisalign- deemed not an emergency. I would expect to be able to get in within a few days. read more

Was out here visiting family and my daughters back molar came out. She currently has braces and is a long way from home for the summer. Called and spoke with staff who were extremely helpful. Sandy was very kind to my daughter and was able to remove the tooth without cutting current braces or any other involved work. I love that even though we are 2000 miles away from home on vacation, Paulson Ortho was there to assist in such a minor issue. The office is a fun place to wait, tons of Disney memorabilia to keep you entertained while waiting. read more

We went in for an evaluation for my son. He already has braces and about a year left on his treatment. We moved cities and are shopping around for an orthodontist, getting evaluations and pricing from various orthodontists. Most have been right around $1k. Paulson quoted us $5K FOR LESS THAN A YEAR OF TREATMENT THAT IS NEEDED. Either they think we are stupid, or they want to get as much as they can can out of you, or they just don't want the business. Either ways it's dishonest to inflate your pricing based on how much you want to bilk your customer for, not what is needing to be done. Definitely going elsewhere. Stay away. Money grubbing. read more

Dr Paulson and his staff are amazing and so friendly. My daughter now has a beautiful smile that lights up a room. Thankful to have found such a kind and caring facility. read more

Dr. Paulson and his staff are truly fantastic. Dina was so helpful and friendly, and the entire staff are very genuine and warm. Every time I come in for my appointments I am greeted by name and their sincerity and kindness really make feel at home! Dr. Paulson is attentive, professional, and very warm. His staff are super friendly (and not the fake friendly kind that you get everywhere else). I've gotten to know them over the past couple of years, and now that I'm done with my orthodontic treatment, goodbye is bittersweet. Thanks Paulson Ortho for taking such great care of me! If you are a potential new patient and reading this, go see them! They'll take wonderful care of you too! read more

Dr Paulson and his team are the most extraordinarily kind people! As an ortho patient, my family and I suffered loss from a devastating house fire and when the Paulson team got wind of the situation they set up a relief area for my family at their office so people could have a convenient location to drop off donations or cards for us. Their love and kindness left a mark on our lives that I cannot describe! Dr Paulson is not only a great orthodontist but a great human being who does so much to spread light around the local community. I will forever be thankful for the Paulson team! read more

I got my braces here they are so nice it is Disney themed and it is so cool they have a old parrot Disney thing best place ever

Dr. Paulson is such a class act! He has always gone above and beyond to give great service. His staff is always so friendly and helpful, the office is so welcoming and clean. He gives away prizes to make it more fun. He has such a great sense of community. When you go there, you are treated like family! We had an emergency after office hours (9:30pm) where my daughter got her cheek stuck to her bracket, I messaged Dr. Paulson and he offered to meet us at the office to fix it. We were home within an hour of messaging him and fixing it. There is no better service than that! Dr. Paulson is the absolute BEST!!! He came highly recommended and I always recommend him to everyone I know! read more

I had braces when I was in the 5th grade and back then, they said you could stop wearing your retainer after 2 years. Not surprisingly, my teeth have shifted a bit and are no longer perfectly straight. Dr. Paulson and his friendly staff made a new bottom retainer for me and are shifting my teeth back into place. I'm looking forward to having nice, straight teeth again. And, the price was a lot less than I thought it would be. The atmosphere in the office is really fun with a beach theme. The staff dress up from time to time and that really makes it fun for the patients (even the big ones). Also, I love to watch the little birds in the hedge outside while they are working on me, but I never get to do so for very long, because they are so quick! I highly recommend Heinrich & Paulson Orthodontics, no matter your age! read more
