The team was extremely caring, understanding, and flexible to my schedule. They squeezed me in first thing in the morning before any other clients to scan for a new retainer after my prior one broke. Although the new ones typically take a week to finalize, the team had mine done within 2 hours so I could get it before I left on a long trip. Great facility and kind, educated staff!
From the initial exam to putting the braces on was a great experience for my daughter.
I’ve had two kids use Brace Yourself. They have always been amazing to work with.
Consultation turned into getting his braces that same day. Everyone was so friendly and great with helping ease my son's nerves. Great first experience!
Great clinic for braces. Always made us feel at home and great atmosphere!
