Digital Scanners (iTero)

Thanks to our iTero digital scanners, each patient’s impressions are now taken digitally in 3D rather than the traditional, uncomfortable putty method.

technology
3D Printing (uLab)

We’ve found that incorporating 3D printing technology into our office has been an absolute game-changer! We can now create aligners and appliances quickly.

technology
Indirect Bonding (LightForce)

LightForce brackets use the process of indirect bonding, which means more accurate results, quicker appointments, and potentially faster treatment times!

I bring my kids here and we are well taken care of. Always a great experience.
Jenna R.
My daughter was having a little anxiety about getting her braces. Before she could even realize the process was completed and she was all done. She took a look in the mirror and had the... biggest smile. Thank you Nelson Orthodontics for making her experience a breeze.read more
Cynthia S.
Everyone was very nice and welcoming. Yvette helped me with my braces today and she was great at explaining everything to me.
Jacqueline C.
I have been a patient at this orthodontic office for the past four years, and I can confidently say it has been an incredible journey. From the moment I stepped into the office, I was... greeted with warmth and professionalism by the entire staff. They always went above and beyond to ensure my appointments were scheduled seamlessly and that I felt comfortable throughout my treatment.Dr. Nelson’s expertise and dedication truly made all the difference in my orthodontic journey. His attention to detail and personalized approach ensured that my treatment plan was tailored to meet my specific needs. Today, as I stand with a beautiful, confident smile, I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Nelson’s skillful hands and unwavering commitment to excellence.I cannot recommend this orthodontic office enough to anyone seeking exceptional care and remarkable results. Thank you to the entire staff, especially Jenny and Dr. Nelson, for transforming my smile and boosting my confidence!read more

Nelson Family Orthodontics has been such a pleasure to work with from the very start. All of the staff are so friendly. My son got braces today and thought they did an amazing job.Edit:... my other son also got braces last week and Nelson Family Orthodontics are still so easy to work with. They value their customers and show it as soon as you walk through the door, or pick up the phone.read more
Simone N.
Ivette was super friendly, my appointment was pretty quick, after my consultation I was able to get my braces on already :)
Maria T.
I don't leave reviews very often, however, this was a must! From the first phone call in to the last goodbye, just Unbelievable! Clean, Classy, and Courteous, this place had it all. I... really wish I would have found them sooner because all I can say is Top Notch! I was so impressed how nice and professional this place was. I, actually, came in just to get a second opinion on work I had done that I was unhappy about. After meeting Dr. Nelson and my entire experience, left me quite emotional to have come across an orthodontist who treated me with such care and professionalism. Dr. Nelson, Esmere, and Jennifer truly gave me an unforgettable experience. This wasn't just a lucky experience, I believe 100% that anyone who walks through their doors, will get the same treatment. I can't say enough about this place, other than, thank you Nelson Family Orthodontics!read more
