The confidence that comes from a beautiful smile is a lifelong gift. Mine has been patiently and joyously recreated subtly by Dr. Edstrom and his staff, without the embarrassment of a "metal mouth." Simply, thank you!

I love this practice. Dr Edstrom gives us information about various options and approaches so we can make decisions that are appropriate for us. I feel that Dr Edstrom puts the patients’ best interest before personal gain and I trust him completely.

Excellent orthodontic care, for anyone! I've had the pleasure of bringing my 3 kids (and now, myself) to this office, over the span of 16 years. From the front-office staff, the orthodontic assistants, to the doctors themselves; the expertise of everyone here is obvious! If there's a problem on the off-hours, you're assured that the doctors are just a phone call away!

Dr. Swenson is an amazing orthodontist. I had to get a new retainer and was referred to him by an exceptional dentist and Dr. Swenson has lived up to his reputation. His professionalism, expertise, and caring chair side demeanor surpass that of many practitioners I have met in the healthcare industry. He is very respectful when he speaks to his staff and the entire SB Orthodontics team is wonderful. I highly recommend Dr. Swenson if you’re in need of a skilled orthodontist to take care of your needs.

Dr. Swenson and Dr. Trigonis are wonderful. They are the two doctors I had during my time at SB orthodontics. They were super flexible with me as I lived abroad in the midst of my treatment but I still got to continue with them once I returned. Dr. Swenson is super gentle, genuine, easy to talk to, and very kind. And the office staff was very gracious to me when I would run late for my appointments when I lived very far away. I love this office and Dr. Swenson and Trigonis and would recommend them to anyone who asked.

They have the most competitive and affordable prices for Invisalign or braces. I visited 6 other orthodontists in the area and chose Dr. Swenson. So far my Invisalign treatment has been easy to understand, and everyone in the office is very nice. I do wish I got to spend more time with Swenson, the dr I had originally agreed to do treatment with- but his colleague Trigonis has also been great to work with. I would recommend this office to many people, especially someone seeking adult braces.

Extremely kind professional and quick office-Dr Edstrom made my Invisalign experience super easy to understand and complete. Nice office, easy parking, always quick efficient appointments. They worked out a payment plan to meet my specific dental insurance plan and schedule- very easy to work with! Always listened to my concerns and made my treatment work for me. My teeth are amazing now!

Although this business is a partnership of three orthodontists, my review applies only to Dr. Alex Trigonis, since I have no experience with the other two orthodontists, and Dr. Swenson joined the team after the events described here.

Dr. Alex Trigonis is quite probably the most dishonest and unethical dental practitioner that I've ever encountered.

My son Michael was treated by Dr. Trigonis in 2012. I have four main issues with this treatment:

(1) Dr. Trigonis enormously overstated his familiarity with jaw surgery. Also, when he saw how concerned my wife and I were about the prospect of

Their appointments take forever, upwards of an hour for braces tightening. So ridiculous. Had one child go here and one child go to another ortho down the street, WORLD of difference. I would've switched but I already paid in full. I won't be recommending these guys to anyone.

I have nothing but good things to say about this business. All of the girls are so sweet, and always in a great mood. I am always greeted with a smile and genuine "hello" which doesn't happen everywhere. What a great staff!

Dr Swenson is such a refreshing addition to the team! He is always cracking jokes, and like the girls, always in a great mood. He makes you feel comfortable and important like you're not just another person taking up a seat.

I just got my braces off after having them for a little under 2 years. Any time I needed an appointment change or had any questions

Big thanks to the orthodontist office of Drs. Edstrom & Trigonis. When I first got braces, I went to another orthodontist. The end result was not satisfactory. I was told there was nothing eles that they could do. It was hard to hear, but I wanted to see if maybe another orthodontist could help me. Luckily, Edstrom reviewed my case and was able to help me. Throughout my treatment the service and their expertise was great. At the end of my treatment I was so happy that he could fix my smile. I am so thankful and my smile looks great. He did a great job. It was truly a great experience.

Fantastic experience with Dr. Edstrom. He saw my boyfriend's daughter right away when her retainer came off. He was very attentive, knowledgeable, and explained everything very thoroughly. He took his time with her and to top it off he didn't charge us anything for the visit! The staff was wonderful too. Thanks Doc!
