Patient Reviews
"We love Thrive Orthodontics! They are very clean and organized. They helped two of my children feel confident on their Invisalign journey! Highly recommend."
"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!"

"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. ❤️"

"Staff are amazing...they explain everything with a smile. They are professional and expert at what they do. Thank you, Akkoway Orthodontics!"
"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."
