Both of my daughters were treated by Dr. Backus for braces. Their teeth are beautiful! As a parent, I also appreciated the staff’s friendliness and willingness to work with my schedule. They often held events or contests for kids to participate in. My girls also thought the TVs on the ceiling were cool.

Dr Backus is the BEST around. She cares so much for her patients and takes time to explain every little detail and makes her patients feel comfortable at their appointments!
She is great to her staff also and shows them how much she appreciates them.
So if you are looking for a fun, exciting but knowledgeable office... this is the orthodontic office for you!

Dr. Backus and her staff were great. Everyone is very friendly and professional. I never had to wait long before I was seen. Having Dr. Backus as my orthodontist was the best decision. She pays attention to detail and always made sure I was comfortable. Dr. Backus and her staff always explained each procedure before it was performed. I appreciated that very much because it took away the anxiety. I am very happy with my results. I now have a perfectly beautiful smile. Thank you for everything. 😊

Their ability to work with elementary-age kids is incredible. We tried a couple of other places and they didn’t seem to be very patient or kid-friendly. Everyone is always patient, extremely helpful and friendly. Dr. Backus goes above and beyond during treatment and with special events and contests for her patients. I would highly recommend this office for anyone needing braces and especially those needing early treatment.
