"This is a top notch Orthodontist office. I've had a wonderful experience with Dr. Akkaway and his team from start to finish. They are very knowledgeable in orthodontics and answer my questions to complete satisfaction. Totally amazed at the immense knowledge you receive in learning how to care and take part in your Invisalign treatment. I am very happy with the results and the care I received. This is the best Orthodontist office! So thankful and grateful for the care and kindness I received."

"My daughter and son have both been patients at Thrive Orthodontics totaling more than 10 years. The experience has been phenomenal. Dr. Akkaway is great. He is professional and personable and has delivered truly beautiful smiles for both of my kids. The staff is likewise professional and personable. Everyone at Thrive is welcoming and helpful and this has been consistent for more than 10 years! I cannot speak more highly of my families experience at Thrive Orthodontics."

"Thrive Orthodontics and Dr. Akkaway did an amazing job! I came in with a challenging open bite that felt a bit hopeless. Within 48 weeks my bite was fully corrected, using only Invisalign. Even my dentist was impressed that this was able to be done without full braces, and as quickly as it was. The doctors and staff were friendly and the office was run very efficiently. I never waited more than 5 minutes for my appointment and was always greeted with a smile on my way in, and a freshly baked cookie on my way out :) I would highly recommend Thrive Orthodontics for any smile or bite issue."

"Have been taking my sons to this office for orthodontics the past 4 years. Wait time is short and Dr Akkaway and his assistants are very professional and friendly. A few times we had to come in for emergencies and they were always able to see us on very short notice, which is a plus.We also started coming here for the pediatric dentist who is also very thorough, while at the same time being gentle during cleanings with the kids."

"The team at Thrive Orthodontics is wonderful. The office is well-run and will try their best to get you an appointment that is convenient for you. They are helpful, kind and the staff is exceptional. Two out of the three of my children have seen Dr. Akkaway. One has had Invisalign's and the other, traditional braces. They both have had great experiences. My third child will be getting braces within the year. You will not be disappointed!"

"Our experience with Akkaway Orthodontics was far superior than expected. Dr Akkaway was the only dental professional who noticed her lip tie which was contributing to her orthodontic issues. He was very patient, knowledgeable and conservative in his approach. This type of patient care is hard to find these days! Thank you"

"The team at Akkaway has been absolutely wonderful. I expressed to them my daughters anxiety about the dentist. They have been beyond patient explaining everything to her along the way and made her feel so comfortable. The Invisalign treatment has gone smoothly and I can see the results already. The offices are meticulously clean and welcoming. I highly recommend the Orthodontics and Pediatric teams!"

"We are extremely pleased with Akkaway Orthodontics. They are professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Dr Akkaway recommended Invisalign for our 12 year old daughter. I was hesitant to believe that Invisalign could work better than braces, however 11 months into her treatment (and are just about finished) and I am so happy we decided to go with Dr Akkaway's recommendation. The treatment is painfree, and FAST! Im absolutely shocked at how quickly the treatment corrected her smile which has significantly boosted her confidence."

"We have been part of Dr. Akkaway’s Orthodontic Family for a very (very) long time... My son’s started treatments with him very early and as we wrap up a long standing 7!! Year relationship today, I’d be remiss if I didn’t share how awesome my experiences with this office have been:The entire staff has always been so patient, kind, and efficient. From last minute appointments for broken brackets (I swear my older son ate rocks in middle school), to last minute cancellations for things that were out of our control- they have always been as accommodating as possible.Dr. Akkaway is warm, welcoming and “cool” (description from my middle schooler). He’s relatable to my kids, makes them feel at ease and provided thorough treatment plans that were affordable & met the individual needs of both my boys.We leave here today with bright shiny smiles, and so so much gratitude. Thank you, Akkaway Orthodontics, for partnering with our family for so many years... and making an uncomfortable part of development feel so natural. ❤️"

"Dr Akkaway has been amazing! My son was in his care for 2 years, his braces just came off today. His teeth look straight and great. We plan on using Akkaway orthodontics again in the next year for my daughter."

"I got my son braces at Akkaway Orthodontics. Every time we have went there Mr. Akkaway and all his assistants were very kind. I had no doubt that this was the right place for my son as he also even tells me that it never hurts him. I am proud to say that this is the right orthodontist as there has never been a problem with my son, so I feel like I should also think that it won’t hurt anyone else either. This orthodontist shall be recommended for so many other kids who need braces."

Dr. Akkaway and his staff are trustworthy and professional!We had a consultation with another orthodontic office that was going to put us through lengthy, unnecessary and expensive treatment. Dr. Akkaway on the other hand has always been fair and honest and he provides amazing results!!We now have two children out of braces and we couldn't be happier with the service we received. Our third child is starting treatment wth Dr. Akkaway now and we have no doubt that we will receive the same incredible service and results!"

"I've been an Invisalign patient at Akkaway Orthodontics for about two years. I have nothing but positive things to say. The staff are always so friendly and knowledgeable. I've always had complete confidence in the Invisalign process and in the staff's expertise. As an adult, who was a bit skeptical to go through a 'teeth straightening program', I certainly recommend them. I drive an hour from Connecticut just to go to my appointments, which I believe speaks volumes for how I feel about this office."

"Everyone who works at Akkaway Orthodontics are super inviting. You can ask them any question concerning your teeth and they will give you a really helpful answer. I definitely recommend going here and I absolutely love it! I would've never thought that I would look forward to going to the orthodontist, until now :) Also, I can see that my teeth are getting so much straighter with every visit and so far I've had no problems with them at all. I also love the waiting room's features, like their video games and t.v. Go to Dr. Akkaway!!!"
