As an adult I knew I needed braces, but I wasn’t looking forward to getting them. Nevertheless Dr. Estes and her staff made the process smooth and easy.
Their upfront price policy was excellent. No surprise fees so I had no problems incorporating the cost into my budget.
I hope my daughter does not need braces, but if she does I would not hesitate to work with Dr. Estes office again.

I had a friend, who’s one of their patients, recommend them to me since I had a previously bad experience with another orthodontist. Staff is very friendly and Dr. Estes was very thoroughly in explaining the procedure to me. Every time I’ve gone in, the staff are always kind and welcoming to me. I really feel comfortable coming here and would recommend this place to anyone!

Estes Orthdontics is AMAZING ! The entire staff is very welcoming and genuinely caring for not only their patients but the parents as well. They fixed my 8yr old son smile in a quickness. He loves to come to see his orthodontist & loves his new smile even more. I cannot thank them enough, we are truly thankful for everyone here. Thank you all 😊 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

This is my third round of braces for my kids. My oldest started years ago with Dr Brehnan. When it was my second daughter's turn she started Dr Brehnan and then it transferred to Dr Estes. Now it's my youngest daughter's turn and we are having Dr Estes for the full treatment.
The office has always been very clean with nice staff.

I highly recommend Dr. Estes for orthodontic treatment for both adults and children.
Dr. Estes is extremely qualified and conscientious about her work, and I really appreciate her attention to detail as teeth are being moved around. She is also a very good listener, not just on orthodontic matters but also in terms of patient preferences during treatment. She genuinely cares about her patient's progress and comfort, and her entire staff is extremely warm and professional.

Dr. Estes does the best work - beautifully straight teeth! I wanted my teeth straightened for my son's wedding and I was on a short timeframe. Dr. Estes did an excellent job meeting my goals and achieving my desired outcome. She goes above and beyond to make sure your teeth look the best they can. The orthodontic team is wonderful too! Very friendly and knowledgeable. There's nothing better than getting compliments on your smile - and I tell everyone that Dr. Laurie Estes made my smile beautiful!

When Kid #1 needed orthodontia, we asked around and ended up with Dr. Brehnan. When Kid #2 needed orthodontia, we got a second opinion, and stayed with Dr. Brehnan. Fast forward to Dr. Estes joining the team and we've been THRILLED. Even I came in for a quick retainer replacement and the price was right and they fit me in with the kids.
Not looking forward to Kid #3's orthodontia needs, but we KNOW we'll be returning to Dr. Estes. She's knowledgable, kind, empathetic, and most importantly, an expert in her field. Her staff is warm and helpful, as well, especially when we have

Dr. Estes is a skilled and empathetic orthodontist who is considerate and polite and takes the time to explain procedures in a language that is understandable to all. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her office for orthodontic work. She's great and you won't regret it. Excellent job, I'm pleased with my new smile!

Started seeing Dr Estes for my 7yr old son who needed retainers. The pricing is fair, and they offer payment options and plans. They work with insurance companies and the financial part is seamless with their monthly auto pay options. Flexible appt times offered for kids in school, and very friendly staff. This can be intimidating for new patients, but they make it all easy. Dr Estes is friendly and nice, always explaining where we are in the process of retainers. It's an ongoing process, so good to know the progress along the way.

She's the best. Very knowledgeable and super friendly. I'm a bit OCD and she listened to all my concerns throughout my treatment and responded to all my messages. Very pleased with my final result. Her staff is amazing and fit me last minute on a few occasions. I've never had one bad experience there in a year and a half.

Above and beyond. Dr. Estes transformed my smile. As well as being a brilliant and highly skilled orthodontist, Dr. Estes is so kind and thoughtful. She truly cares about her patients, and she always took the time to answer my questions and make me feel comfortable. Her touch was effective, yet gentle.
Her team of assistants and office staff are always professional, friendly, and welcoming. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Estes to family and friends.

I started my Orthodontic Journey this year at Dr.Brehnan's office and it has been a great experience. Dr.Brehnan started me on my journey with an informative consultation and was able to work with my insurance and finances.
Each time I come into the Office Claire who I believe is the Office Manager always stops what she is doing to greet me with a smile and get me checked in and out quickly. Claire always finds an appointment time that works with my schedule and is happy to assist me when I need to reschedule.
Nichole and Gary are my favorite assistants who always greet me with a smile

I came in with some minor concerns about straightening my teeth. Dr. Estes met with me and did a full exam, explained my treatment options and discussed Insurance and payment arrangements. I felt welcomed and informed when we decided that Invisalign would be the best option for me. She answered all of my questions and took a painless scan of my teeth and then reached out to me right away when I could come in to pick up the first set of aligners. I come in from out of town and the office was extra accommodating with my schedule. The service was above & beyond. I especially loved that Dr. Estes

What a blessing the office of Dr. Brehnan and Dr. Estes is! From the phone intake, to the in person consultation, to the placement of my chosen orthodontics, this place reigns supreme! They are never too busy to squeeze me in for a color change, and they make payment arrangements so easy. This is the second time in my life that I have worn orthodontics, and this time is so much better than the first!

I went to Dr. Brehnan's office for a consultation. I checked in and was told to fill out some paper work (new patient forms) and was told by the receptionist to not worry about the insurance part.
I'm finally brought in for my consultation and get the basic rundown; teeth removal, length of treatment & most importantly, pricing.
I looked at my estimate & was shocked that I had to pay $7,000+ ????? I thank them for their time and leave. As I'm walking to my car & reviewing the estimate they gave me, I notice the insurance portion was blank. I walk back to figure out

Great doctor with a great practice. The staff are always very friendly and helpful.
Dr Brehnan's approach to orthodontics is somewhat unorthodox: he took my case gladly even though 2 other orthodontists had refused to. Less then 2 years later, and I have a smile that is pristine. I am thankful that I was able to have the treatment of a wonderful staff and doctor.

My son was referred to Dr. Brehnan and my first thought was, "great, now I have to sell a kidney so this kid can have straight teeth!"
As a single mother (and a teacher) I wasnt sure how this would all work, but Dr. Brehnan and his staff were SUPER helpful! I paid monthly payments, and knew once my tax refund came through, I could pay a bigger lump sum. One of his staff members, Allen, was really accommodating and understood my financial woes! But regardless they gave my son the best service ever and I couldnt be more grateful for their help!

I was here recently as my son was referred here by the great Dr. Joe Cortese for a orthodontics consultation. I have met the very capable Dr. Brehnan before, as my stepdaughter previously had her braces done here.
This is a thriving practice and every time I come in the place is humming with positive energy and activity, usually involving kids in various stages of their treatment. Adult patients are welcome too, but from the game room to the treasure chest (where the right key gets you a prize), this place is geared towards the "adolescent overbite" crowd.
