"Dr. Smith, does my really kid need braces?" I asked "NO, almost no one NEEDS braces, they are a modern privilege" said Dr Bradly Smith of Dyer & Smith Orthodontics. It was this honesty That instantly sold me on Dr. Smith's approach to Ortho. Throughout my 1st kid's whole experience with the orthodontic process Dr Smith made every decision as if was his own kid in the chair. I also appreciated that often he would say, " let's see what mother nature does before we try & force it". I think this not only spared my kiddo unnecessary pain but also spared my husband & I from having to listen to unnecessary complains. Before The braces ever went on Dr. Smith educated our daughter (complete with grotesque photos) about the expectations & consequences of braces maintenance. Here we are a few years later and our younger 2 kids are ready for braces simultaneously....I wouldn't consider taking them ANYWHERE but to Dr. Smith. When my son was nervous, Dr. Smith made a point of talking to him about what to expect. Doctor's relaxed deminor coupled with his sincere regard for the boy's feelings won him over in a few short minutes. He gave my kid the dignity of his feeling and the respect of addressing them personally with the boy. Dr Smith is a gift. If you are going to spend a few thousand dollars on your kids mouth you couldn't invest your trust it in a better Doctor. As for his staff, Dr Smith is the best because he works with the best. They are ALWAYS on time, we have literally NEVER had to wait. When a payment needed to wait until Friday I was met with graciousness. When one of my kids had a dental infection, He let me bring her in though she hadn't been though the ortho process yet. This group is the real deal. GO SEE THEM! read more
