Originally, I had planned to get braces with Silcox, but after finding out that I needed to get two teeth extracted (in a very visible place) I went to Feller's for a second opinion. Dr. Feller went over all of my options and explained the pros and cons of teeth extraction. One of the cons was my upper lip moving back and it changing my smile! He gave me the option to see how much he could correct my overbite before extractions and if it were something that bothered me later then I would still be able to extract teeth at a later time. These things were never discussed at Silcox, my only option was teeth extraction. After talking with Dr. Feller, I scheduled an appointment for braces the next day!
The staff and overall vibe at Feller are also amazing! Susan did everything that she could to get me seen before my extraction appointment (two days later) and was able to get me a same-day appointment; Brittany took great pictures (that I know I'll appreciate later) and explained everything to me from the way the braces work to finances; Brooke did an amazing job prepping my mouth for braces, explaining everything she was doing as she went, and the aftercare; and Dr. Feller answered all of my questions and worked well with his staff to apply my braces. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming!
Feller also offers Self-Ligating braces over the traditional style of braces, which were a little more expensive, but after doing some research on the Damon System they are very much worth the little extra money.
I left with a Sonic Care toothbrush, everything I needed to take of my braces, a reward point system where I can earn rewards for being a good patient, and most importantly a pint of ice cream of my choice to help with the soreness that night. Brooke has also promptly answered all questions that I've had whether that be by phone or through their texting system, and is always excited to educate me on the process.
So far, I am extremely happy and confident with my decision to go with Feller Orthodontics. They made me excited about my journey to straight teeth!
