"“Just got my Invisalign today from Thrive Orthodontics and had an amazing experience! Friendly staff, super informative, and very professional. Excited to see my results!”Michele C."
"Always amazing and flexible service. I love the Invisalign process. My teeth are finally straight"
"I took my son here. He got the Invisalign. His teeth were pretty crooked. In a year, my sons teeth look amazing. I actually switched from another orthodontist that wanted to pull my sons tooth out to make room. Thrive saved my sons tooth. I couldn't be happier with the results. The front desk is very nice and accommodating. I would definitely recommend going there. I am considering getting Invisalign now as well."
"Very helpful and efficient. My Invisalign needed a slight adjustment and so they adjusted my set so I didn’t have to spend unnecessary dollars to order a new one. Thank you"
"We love Thrive Orthodontics! They are very clean and organized. They helped two of my children feel confident on their Invisalign journey! Highly recommend."
"If you're looking to start Invisalign treatment, look no further! Thrive has top-of-the-line equipment and cutting-edge technology to bring your dream smile to life. But let’s face it, equipment alone isn’t enough! The staff are an absolute pleasure to work with and are highly skilled. Any questions or concerns I had were addressed promptly. They listen intently and truly care about each individual’s outcome. If you want the best, this is it!"
"The whole team at Thrive has been amazing and so helpful throughout the process! Josh is so happy to have Invisalign and to be correcting his smile."
"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!"
"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."
"We love Thrive! Dr Lee is excellent with my kids, so friendly, funny, kind. My kids have been going to Thrive for the last 4 years and we’ve always had a positive experience. We also started Invisalign at Thrive, which has been a fantastic experience. Appointments are always timely and available if we have any last minute issues. We love the staff and the beautiful, clean facility. Definitely recommend!!"

The technician was so gentle and explained the instructions clearly. Love how warm, inviting, and clean this cute little office is. Highly recommend!"
"Our family has chosen Thrive Orthodontics for our two sons' orthodontic treatment. One of our sons has special needs, and the staff at Thrive Orthodontics has been incredibly accommodating and caring, ensuring that he feels comfortable and well-cared for throughout his treatment. He is currently undergoing Invisalign treatment, while his brother is receiving traditional metal braces. Both of our sons are achieving excellent results, and we are very pleased with the progress they have made. The orthodontic assistants and the orthodontists themselves are all highly skilled and professional, and we highly recommend Thrive Orthodontics to anyone seeking orthodontic treatment. We absolutely LOVE Thrive Orthodontics."

From the initial consultation to the final result, the team made sure everything was smooth and stress-free. The office staff is always friendly and welcoming, and they made sure to explain every step of the process, which made us feel comfortable and informed. The Invisalign aligners were a perfect fit for my kids—they loved that they were discreet and easy to use. We’ve seen amazing improvements in their smiles and couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend Thrive Orthodontic to anyone looking for top-quality care and treatment!"

"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."
"The best ! Everyone is very friendly and personable. The Orthodontists are very knowledge and detail oriented. Perfectionists! I did Invisalign and my teeth are perfect. I now live on Long Island, and continue taking the drive to NJ when I need a retainer replacement. I highly recommend. Also the offices are very clean, modern, bright and you can tell they use the best technology"

She elaborated on the distinctions between metal and clear braces, as well as Invisalign, generously allowing us time to discuss without any hint of impatience. If possible, I'd rate her ten stars for her remarkable assistance."

"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."

"This is the best doctor and office we've ever been to. The staff are always so plesant and easy to talk to. Dr. Akkaway is so nice and comforting. The progress my daughter has made with her invisalign is wonderful. Highly recommend all around."
"As an adult the thought of an orthodontist is not something you look forward to however Dr. Akkaway and staff made my invisalign treatment amazing. First off, the remodeled Kinnelon office is by far the best doctors office I've ever stepped foot into - from the waiting area with tablet stations to the TV's mounted on the ceiling (yes I said ceiling) above the chairs, the tech and appearance of this office is eye candy for anyone, let alone a techie like myself. I appreciate when a doctor has the latest tech, nothing turns me off more than a dentist who still has their original chairs from the 90's. I could go on for days about the office but don't let that take away from the staff and Dr. Akkaway - unbelievably organized, pleasant and willing to answer and assist with all questions. I'd recommend Dr. Akkaway over and over again and based on other reviews I'm not alone. I'll definitely be bringing my kids when the day comes."
"Staff is always pleasant and helpful my daughter has Invisalign and been great I can tell a difference Thankyou for a great job"
"The most up to date, organized,professional, on time, friendliest doctors office I have ever come across. They go above and beyond to deliver everything they promise. One year with Invisalign without a single glitch."
"One child has finished Invisalign treatment and second is currently underway. Staff is friendly, unlike many at other providers, accommodating and rarely is there a wait."
"I truly trust and enjoy Dr.Akkaway and his staff so much, that I drive 1.5 hours routinely for my appointments. I live out of state and still have kept him as my ortho because the experience has been so positive. Not only is the staff friendly but they are all knowledgeable. The office is clean and up to date with technology too, which is a huge plus! Previously, I had the worst experience with my orthodontist providing me a fake version of Invisalign. I decided to take a chance on a new doctor and I am thrilled with the results of my Invisalign treatment so far. Again, I 100 percent recommend Dr.Akkaway to anyone! :)"
"Did Invisalign with Dr. Akkaway; absolutely great experience. Everyone at the office is super nice and professional. Got great results. Couldn’t be happier! I recommend Dr. Akkaway to any and all!!!"
"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."
