"The staff at Thrive are so wonderful! They make sure to explain all the options that’s available."
"I would 100% recommend Thrive Orthodontics to anyone! I brought my son here to get Invisalign after getting hit in his mouth at basketball. The doctors & staff are extremely knowledgeable and explained the whole process thoroughly. From start to finish, they have always been patient, kind and ready to help in anyway possible. My son was thrilled that they sent him home with a teeth whitening kit to make his smile that much better. We couldn’t be happier! Now it’s my turn to go. Thank you!!UPDATE: About 10 years ago, when my oldest son got braces, I asked his orthodontist to take a look at my teeth. He told me my mouth was too small and that I’d need to have teeth pulled before getting braces—otherwise, they’d just shift back over time. As I got older, my teeth continued to shift, so when my youngest son was finishing up his Invisalign treatment, I decided to get a consultation at Thrive Orthodontics.To my surprise, they told me I wouldn’t need any teeth pulled. The worst-case scenario, they said, might be shaving a little enamel—but even that wasn’t necessary. I’m so happy I went with Thrive. My teeth came out perfect!"
"My early opinion: We were welcomed gracefully and my daughters name was on a welcome board. The small things stand out and speak volume. Everyone assisting me was patient and explained throughly. The staff work with you. I’m currently very pleased."

"They are always accommodating and pleasant. Every experience that I have had has been a good one. They work with you for payment options. My son's teeth looked amazing in such a short amount of time. And the best part was that they did it without pulling any of his adult teeth. I was actually at a prior orthodontist office. They wanted to pull his teeth to make room. I was against it. I am so happy that I left the other office and found Thrive.
