Always friendly and professional. Our questions were answered promptly and the process went well. They have amazing technology that makes things go quick! 2 of our 3 kids have gone through the braces process here. If the third kid needs braces we will be back!

I started my journey with Valley Orthodontics in December 2023, and I couldn't be happier. To address my open bite and chronic jaw pain, Dr. Haines developed a comprehensive plan that included having four teeth removed by my family dentist. As we get older, it feels harder to do difficult things for ourselves, but the entire team made me feel so supported. Within just a couple of months, my jaw pain resolved, and the biggest change has been the simple joy of finally being able to bite through food! The team at Valley Orthodontics has become like friends; they’ve also seen both of my children through braces, so I can say from experience that they are wonderful with all ages. I always felt comfortable expressing concerns or asking questions completely free of judgment. If you’re looking for a team that truly cares for the whole family, this is it.

I took my child to 3 different places for an evaluation and we both liked Valley Ortho the best. The staff were all very kind at every visit. Also the braces were successful and took less time than expected. We are very pleased with the care we received and the end results!

I had an amazing experience at Valley Orthodontics! From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming, professional, and genuinely caring. They took the time to explain every step of the process and made me feel completely comfortable throughout my visits. One of the standout features—hands down—has to be the massage chairs in the patient area. I never thought I’d actually look forward to orthodontist appointments, but those chairs are next-level relaxing. It’s like a mini spa day while getting your smile taken care of. The team is knowledgeable, efficient, and clearly passionate about what they do. You can tell they truly care about their patients and the results they deliver. And let’s be honest… I used to think going to the orthodontist would be a BRACE for impact—but thanks to Valley Orthodontics, it’s actually been a smooth and enjoyable experience 😄 Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch care and a comfortable, welcoming environment!

So, these guys took over my adventure when Candid failed me. I got 75% of my treatment done thru Candid and lost my Alaskan sponsor so Valley took over my treatment and did awesome. The office feels like an open environment which is kinda cool the way everyone can communicate. The staff are very supportive and always ready to answer questions. I did have my doubts due to being almost 50 whether or not my teeth would cooperate, but after they told me about an older patient closer to her 80"s, I made the jump. Now, my 18 year old is getting his smile done and my 29 year old is later. These guys made handling insurance a breeze. I did interview with another office but the vibe with Valley won me over.

We have had such a great experience working with Valley Orthodontics! Very friendly, professional and pleasant staff. All three of our kids have had braces and so we’ve been going there for years. I truly can’t think of a single negative! Fantastic communication, great at working with kids even very nervous ones, and just such very nice folks. I’ll actually miss seeing them once the last kiddo finishes braces.
