Austin Orthodontist Reviews: Dr. Brian Smith, DDS, TX. Dr. Smith, Orthodontist, 78746.

Patient Review 1:

I've been extremely satisfied with my Invisaline experience provided by Dr. Smith. Invisaline offered me a flexible, convenient, and painless alternative when compared to the braces I had in my earlier years. The best part was having the option to remove them when needed, which came in handy for my wedding photos last September.

Also, I can't say enough about the warm and friendly people in the office - I'd highly recommend Dr. Smith and his team to anyone considering the Invisaline process.

Dr. Smith and his staff are fabulous. He was recommended to us by a dentist, who's son was treated by Dr. Smith with amazing results. As of now, he has worked with my niece, nephew, and 2 of my daughters all having braces and follow up retainers. All of them have beautiful smiles-truly wonderful results. My youngest is only 5, but I will not hesitate for a moment to sign her up with Dr. Smith when she is ready to begin treatment. I don't typically write reviews, however, I feel Dr. Smith deserves recognition for the excellent care he and his staff provide.

Treatment Length with Dr. Smith: 8 years.

Dr. Smith and Staff are the best!!!

Dr. Smith put braces on all 3 of our boy and me (I have the invisalign braces). The treatment on the older boys is complete and their teeth are beautiful! Treatment on our youngest and me is moving along smoothly and faster than expected.

Dr. Smith's prices are very competitive. His staff will work with your insurance carrier, and for those with a tight cash flow (like me), they will work out a payment plan for out of pocket expenses.

I highly recommend Dr. Smith for any orthodontic work on kids and adults. He and his staff will take great care of you and your family!

Patient Review 6:

Dr. Smith was recommended to me by my Dentist and it has been a great experience. I was not looking forward to braces as a 35-year old working professional but Dr. Smith has made it an easy experience. He took the time to understand my life-style and work needs and recommended a mix of traditional metal and clear braces. He and his staff were always professional, courteous, cheerful and accomodating to my busy schedule of juggling work and young children. The waiting room is very comfortable but I hardly got to use it because almost as soon as you arrive, even if you are 10-minutes early, they'll start seeing you right away. If by chance, Dr. Smith is still practicing when my children are teenagers and need braces, I'll be coming back to him without question.

Treatment Length with Dr. Smith: 2-years.

Patient Review 7:

First of all, we love the fact that Dr. Smith's office is right across the street from the high school our kids attend, so they can walk to appointments and minimize the time they miss from school. So it's just added gravy that his results and chairside manner are top-notch, and his staff is friendly, efficient, and extremely flexible with payments and appointments. My impression is they do a good job sticking to their appointment schedule, but the office has lots of books, games, and even a PC for the patients to use while waiting.

Dr. Smith implemented an inovative post-Halloween program to literally buy back candy collected by his patients. This was an eye-opener for our kids, and reinforced for them the value of making good choices regarding their teeth.

So our initial selection of Brian Smith was one of convenience, but now I'd drive across town to take my kids to him. I don't normally take the time to write "testimonials" for a business unless they've really impressed me, but that's the case here. You can't go wrong choosing Brian Smith for orthodontics.

Treatment Length with Dr. Smith: 6 years.

My 15 year old daughter has Invisalign Braces that have been a great experience so far. She loves that she can take them off for dining and brushing. She is on schedule with her orthodontic work at this point. I am thinking about having Dr. Smith set me up with Invisalign Braces also. We are thrilled with the office and the staff. Thank you!

Treatment Length with Dr. Smith: A few months.

Patient Review 9:

I went to Dr. Smith's office because I previously had Orthodontic treatment in Austin & was given the traditional removable retainer for my upper teeth and a bonded permanent retainer for my lower teeth. I didn't wear my upper retainer as consistently as I should have and my teeth started shifting. Before long, I was not able to even use my upper retainer. I went to Dr. Smith & he is utilizing the same method for the upper & lower retainers, both bonded permanent retainers to prevent shifting. I was first frustrated that my Orthodontist didn't offer me this option. Dr. Smith was extremely professional and didn't underhand the other doctors method, he simply treated me with a series of aligners he & his staff made (to better assist me with the cost). After I used the set of aligners (8 weeks of treatment), he then bonded a permanent retainer in my upper teeth. I really wish that I had gone to Dr. Smith before so I could have completely prevented the shifting! I did call other Orthodontists to see if they used this method and to my surprise, I couldn't find anyone else in the Austin area that was doing something to prevent patients from needing treatment later!

THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. SMITH...I never have to worry again!

Treatment Length with Dr. Smith: 3 Months.

This group of health care professionals treat you like family. You feel welcome and there is a personal and professional relationship with outstanding communication. Dr. Smith works very hard to have a strong professional team and that is apparent in the obivious connection and respect the staff has to each other as well as their patients. Dr.Smith is conservative and waited 4 years before recommending the application of braces. His attention to detail and partnering with his patients is evident at every turn. The results are spectaclular and we couldn't be happier.

Treatment Length with Dr. Smith: 6 years.

I would definetely say that Dr. Smith is the best orthodontist in Austin.- Allison Glover

Dr. Smith's office is wonderful! Not every orthodontist goes to quite the lengths Dr. Smith's office does to make you feel comfortable. Very accomodating and pleasant.

I went to Dr. Smith for teeth whitening services and found out that I may need braces to correct a skeletal issue that causes a misalignment of my teeth on one side. Dr. Smith explained the issue in terms I could understand and provided scenarios and possible treatments for me to consider. I appreciate his knowledge and understanding of both orthodontic issues and the possible effects of treatment on my personal and professional life.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Smith to anyone!

Patient Review 13:

I first went to Dr. Smith's office in Sept 2006. I was evaluating the different orthodontists in the Austin area, and Dr. Smith by far impressed me the most. When comparing the different costs, his office was about $200 in the initial estimate, however when he found out he dropped the $200, plus an additional $500 off the cost. At the time he offered Orthoclear treatment and conventional treatment for the same cost. I naturally chose the Orthoclear treatment. However, Orthoclear eventually discontinued their treatment before I received my aligners, so Dr. Smith submitted my case to Invisalign. Eventually, we found out the wait would be around 6 months, so Dr. Smith told me I could wait for the Invisalign aligners to come in, or he would give me conventional braces at no added cost. I thought this was great, as I don't think many orthodontists would give this option for free to their patients. All in all, it was a great experience.

Patient Review 14:

I am a transfer patient and a college student. When I came to Dr. Smith I had a developing jaw problem. My previous orthodontist was somewhat incompetent and placed the braces unevenly on my teeth causing my jaw to click. I told Dr Smith about my problem and he was able to moderate the clicking within weeks. Now my jaw rarely clicks and there is very little pain. He definitely knows what he is doing. Other than that, my teeth appear to be coming along nicely.

The people at the front desk seem to be really polite. They know all patients on a first name basis and seem happy to see them. Dr. Smith's assistants are efficient workers and enjoy having conversations with patients.

I am not familiar with the rates of other orthodontists in the Austin area, but it seems that Dr Smith's services are reasonably priced.

I was 36 when I first saw Dr. Smith. I was more than a little nervous, but he and his staff have been very professional and really eased my tension. They were very helpful in explaining all payment options. They have been very courteous in all dealings. They will address you by name and make you feel very comfortable upon entering their facility. I am still being seen, but so far the results have been well worth the effort. I have never had to wait past my scheduled appointment time, and often get seen before. Those of you on a tight schedule will appreciate this. I would highly suggest to any adult trying to decide on an orthodontist, to see Dr. Smith.

I thought it was too late to straighten my teeth and improve my smile, but with Dr. Smith and his staff at my side it was easy! My family and friends are amazed at the wonderful results. If I had known about clear braces, I would have done this years ago!

Dr. Smith beat the overpriced orthodonists in West Lake. My wife and I have perfect smiles thanks to his recommendations and cheerful staff. Dr. Smith works hard to provide a fun and professional environment. His office is modern with an internet cafe look and feel. I have received complements from two dentists on Dr. Smith's work. I highly recommend.

I realize that I forgot to comment on Dr. Smiths chair side manners on my last review. I felt they were pretty much okay except for the time he put his finger in my mouth without a glove. I felt that was real disrespectful.

I came in for pain in my jaw. He made some adjustments to the way that my teeth fit together. He told me that my problem was common, and in my case, it would only take a few days for it to get better. He was right! I couldn't be happier.

Dr. Smith treated both of our children. We are all delighted with the results and their beautiful smiles! Dr. Smith started both kids early in braces and by the time they were in 7th grade, the braces were off and they were thankful that they had gotten an early start. Dr. Smith is super with kids, has a great location and a kid-friendly office and staff. We highly recommend Dr. Smith and his knowledgeable staff!

I was a transfer patient of Dr. Smith. He showed enthusiasm in continuing my treatment and I immediately felt like he cared about giving me the smile I wanted. I received very little pain, and the procedures were effective in helping me see quick results. Dr. Smith and his assistants were respectful, and made me feel comftorable during my monthly visits. Also, I was allowed to make monthly payments to meet the costs, which was very helpful to me because I was a college student. I was always greeted with a friendly smile at the front desk, and the office and treatment area were very nice and clean. I enjoyed my experience with Dr. Smith, and I love my new smile.
