Such a wonderful place to get ortho. Dr. Speaks and his team are all amazing. I work for a periodontal practice and Dr.Speaks is highly recommended. I’ve never felt so taken care of in a practice! Chefs kiss :). Ritz it’s also amazing she’s so patient and does a really good job.

Chau P.
I’ve experienced 4 different orthodontists for my kids and Speaks is undeniably the best. Such thorough, smart and detailed care for my son. Can’t recommend him enough!

We come to speaks orthodontics for both of our kids more often than we would like. However, if you have to come someplace this often, this is a great place to visit. The staff is very friendly, they are accommodating with schedule changes and last minute issues. Dr Speaks is very charismatic and friendly!
Maddie C.
Insanely amazing. I had gone to 3 other orthodontists to get checked, and Dr. Speaks was the only one that was completely frank with what needs to be done and what the timeline would be. Other people told me it would take 6 months, which would not have solved my bite problem. Dr. Speaks told me 15 months, and although that is not what you want to hear, it was the truth and the team did a fantastic job. They also use angel aligners instead of invisalign which maintain their clearness throughout the process. I couldn’t be happier and I felt it was well worth the price. THANK YOU SPEAKS TEAM you all are the best!
Stephanie S.
Great place to get straight teeth for children, teens and adults. Personable and professional staff and exceptionally clean and welcoming environment. Both of my children have beautiful aligned teeth and I’m almost done with my treatment as well! We love Dr. Speaks and would recommend his orthodontic practice to anyone seeking a beautiful smile!
Cheresa C.
All 3 of my kids have or are being treated here. Great experience with each one. The front desk is diligent about keeping all appointments on time. Courteous when needing to adjust appointments. Dr Speaks and all the staff in the back are professional yet approachable. Dr Speaks is honest about his opinion and approach. I appreciate knowing I am getting services only what is needed and not getting “sold” extras. I would recommend 10/10
Jax S.
My daughter had a very noticeable crossbite and was constantly biting her cheeks while chewing. Our previous orthodontist attempted to get her approved for braces through insurance, but after the initial denial, they told us it wasn’t worth appealing. Thankfully, our new dentist referred us to Dr. Speaks. From the very first visit, Dr. Speaks immediately recognized the issue and took the time to thoroughly explain the problem, the treatment process, and what we could expect. His team submitted the insurance claim, and when it was denied, they didn’t stop there. They fought for us by filing a strong appeal and resubmitting all the necessary documentation. Thanks to their persistence and attention to detail, my daughter was approved and is now on her way to a beautiful new smile. We are incredibly grateful to Dr. Speaks and his entire team, especially Dahlia for their dedication and hard work. Beyond getting the insurance approval, they treat every patient with genuine kindness, patience, and respect. We’re so happy our paths crossed with this wonderful practice! Highly recommend.
