About Orthodontics
Orthodontic appliances are made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to the proper position. Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. You can now choose clear or metal brackets and, in some cases, the color of your appliance. Wires are far less noticeable, and the latest materials are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort. Today, any age is a great age to wear braces!

Overall Experience
The reviews for Dr. Shipley's orthodontic practice are overwhelmingly positive, with 11 out of 12 reviewers giving 5-star ratings. Several reviewers praised the office staff, saying they were friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. Many also praised Dr. Shipley himself, stating that he took the time to chat with their children, made them feel comfortable, and answered any questions they had.
Communication Issues
One reviewer, Chelsea, had a negative experience due to a miscommunication about the pricing of her Invisalign treatment. She had stayed in contact with the office throughout 2023, but the staff mistakenly quoted her the price of traditional braces instead of Invisalign. Although the staff apologized for the mistake, Chelsea felt that it was not handled properly and wished that they had shown more effort to make things right.
Specialized Care
Several reviewers praised Dr. Shipley's team for their specialized care, particularly in dealing with complex cases. One reviewer's son had a traumatic injury to his teeth, gums, and mouth, and Dr. Shipley was able to quickly get him in for treatment and coordinate care with other specialists. Another reviewer's son had autism and a tongue thrust issue, which Dr. Shipley diagnosed and treated successfully.
Consistency
One reviewer, X. Abril-Liant, had a negative experience due to what they perceived as a lack of consistency in treatment. Their three children were treated at Dr. Shipley's office, but none of them have straight teeth. Abril-Liant felt that other orthodontists put permanent retainers on children, but Dr. Shipley did not, and they are now paying out of pocket for their children's treatment at another office.
