"Thrive Orthodontics is genuinely outstanding. When my daughter went in for her braces and began to have second thoughts, Carrie-Ann provided exceptional support. 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."

"From the first day we walked in to Thrive Orthodontics ( Vernon NJ ) with a welcome sign for new patients, we were treated like family! I couldn’t be happier that we chose them to take care of my sons braces every single person there was always so nice and caring. It’s a super clean office also !My son’s teeth came out amazing. He just got his braces removed about a month ago. I was sad to not have to go every 4 weeks anymore . I recommend Thrive to seriously everyone I talk to. I went to 4 different orthodontists for consultations before I went to Thrive, I went to Thrive for our consultation and ended up putting his braces on the same day! I love everything about them , if you’re looking for your kids or yourself there is no better option !"

"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."
