I recommend Dr Grant for Orthodentist treatment , he is my daughter Orthodentist, my daughter has 2 canine teeth that were really off , 2 other Orthodontists recommended we have to pull molar teeth to open space for them but we really did not want she loose any teeth , and dr Grant fixed her teeth without pulling any teeth, they have very nice and professional staff , and he is a super nice doctor.

A picture tells all. If you want your children's front teeth off center like the picture attached, Grant is the right orthodontist for you. 

Our story is like many other frustrated parents.  After several years of phase 1&2, half a year ago, we were informed that our son's treatment was almost over. However, my son found the front teeth top row off-center. When I brought this up during the next appointment, Dr Grant insisted that the top row was in the center. My husband and I printed out a picture of my son, and drew a line down the middle. We showed him, he agreed with us, and

My son started with Dr Grant actually during a visit for his older sister in a causal conversation where I mentioned a concern I had about how his teeth were coming in and his bite. He did an exam on the spot and got him set up for treatment which really saved us because had we not addressed when we did there could have been long term problems with his lower gums pulling away from his bottom teeth. After about 6 months of treatment we were back on track. That's truly a doctor who cares and takes time to prevent a problem.

We are very pleased with our experience with Dr. Grant and his wonderful staff. My son is on the autism spectrum and we were concerned when we found out he needed braces. We encountered no issues throughout the entire process. Dr. Grant and his entire staff are very, very kind, caring, calm and patient. They take their time explaining what they are doing which is very helpful. His braces were just removed and his teeth look amazing! We would recommend Braces by Grant to anyone needing braces.

Our 1st of 3 children had braces put on by Braces by Grant in March 2016. As our first experience with braces we have to say it went well. The staff overall was great. There was only one incident where we may have gotten someone that was new to adjustments and we had to go back in because the wires weren't secure and popped off. Outside of that one mishap in the 14 months he was in braces, everything else was great!

This place is virtually only open during school hours. No chance to make appointments for after school hours. Don't go there if you don't like your kids to miss the school. They are too busy even to return your call.

Invisalign is available for adults! Tried a couple of different places before I came here- this was by far the friendliest, most transparent, and professional office. Everyone is great here. I'll bring my kids here when they are ready for orthodontics.

Is the Yelp page of this place still saying they are treating patients of "all ages"? Well, that's a lie. They either intensionally put it on the webpage to scoop up a large pool of potential patients, or don't care to correct and prevent it from misleading those above age 18.

I was lead to this page by searching braces for adult. The page looks cool, so I called to schedule a first visit and consultation. I told them my age, got the appointment, waited 3 weeks, got the reminder of and confirmed my appointment, told my boss I will be off work early for my appointment. Then

After 6 years of wearing his braces, my son and I were so excited to get his braces off today....UNTIL...After a few hours and dollars and lots of weekly visits over the last 6 years, I knew there was a small balance that my ex husband owed for his portion of the bill. My son mentioned to me that he was made to feel uncomfortable about it when he went on his own, so uncalled beforehand and gave them my ex husbands address and phone number and cleared up that his balance would not impact this appointment.

However, upon arrival, I was immediately told-in front of everyone in the waiting room but

Dr Grant and his team are the best bar none!! I recently finished about 16 months of comprehensive braces. I was able to choose the clear braces which added to my confidence while undergoing treatment. My main issues were crowding, overbite, and my mid lines were off. I had been insecure about these issue my entire life and finally decided to put my teeth in Dr Grants hands. I am beyond thrilled with the outcome! I can actually say that all my concerns were addressed and my teeth are absolutely perfect! Thank you to Dr Grant and his wonderful staff for such a positive and friendly experience. I

2 years ago, my wife and I decided to invest in my daughter's smile. Unfortunately for my kids, they inherited my gene of not having teeth come out straight. We were referred to Braces by Grant by our dentist and hoped our financial investment would pay off.

Braces by Grant has two locations. One in 4S, which is our primary location, and the other one is in Carmel Valley. Both locations are decorated with class and give off a welcoming vibe. The 4S location provides video game consoles that kids can play with and a large screen television showing kid friendly movies. The front office

I spent quite a bit of time getting several opinions on my 9 year old's orthodontic needs. Finally, after going to 3 places, I went to Braces by Grant. He is absolutely wonderful. Patient, doesn't try to sell you anything and his staff is great with the kids. I highly reccomend going there.

Review long time coming........The office up here is a better move for Dr. Grant, just was out of our way. Old office was in national city... new office Carmel mountain.

So it did take us a bit longer to get the braces off. Missing appointments, school not allowing kids to leave for orthodontic appointments, etc. - Dr. Grant's office never charged us for going over on our plan. It does say that on ALL contracts for braces. If the treatment goes over because you miss appointments, they can charge you BEWARE. (even his says it). HE NEVER DID CHARGE US EXTRA!

The staff here is very nice
