Doctor Honey and her staff were always so kind. The whole Invisalign process was smooth and seamless. I would recommend Doctor Honey to my family and friends.
Amazing experience! They were honest and extremely affordable. I’m extremely happy with my results and how fast the treatment was. Dr. Honey and her staff were always welcoming and accommodating. I highly recommend to anyone to this practice and will be bringing my son back when it’s time for him to get orthodontic treatment.
Our family has had an excellent experience with Dr. Honey and her staff. Our son completed his treatment and now our daughter is starting hers. We highly recommend them for any family looking for a smooth, and positive experience from start to finish!
I started my Invisalign treatment here at 27. I grew up with crooked teeth and wanted to get that fixed. I consulted with three different offices and ultimately went with Honey Orthodontics after meeting the great staff! Dr. Honey is always kind and the staff are supportive. Appointments are always efficient and staff is attentive. The office is always clean. The office worked with my insurance and my budget and they were always available for questions/concerns. I had 4 teeth pulled for my treatment and had to get a few teeth shaved down to bring me the great smile I have today. I was very hesitant to get that all done but it was worth it in the end! If you’re thinking of getting Invisalign or braces this is the right place!! They did a very cute celebration for me when I finished the treatment. I can’t thank Dr. Honey and her team enough for bringing me the confidence and comfort that comes with straight teeth.
We love Honey Orthodontics! The team is great with kids and appointments are always efficient. They make what can be an intimidating and uncomfortable process very easy. Highly recommend to anyone needing an orthodontist for their kids!
I had a great experience at Honey Orthodontics! This was my 2nd treatment and I’d recommend them to everyone! Dr. Honey and the entire team are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and professional.

The office is clean, organized, and runs efficiently, which I really appreciated. You can tell they truly care about their patients and the results. I would absolutely recommend Honey Orthodontics to anyone looking for orthodontic treatment!
I did invisaline and I’m so happy with my results. At age 41 it was the best choice I made for myself. Dr. Honey and her team were amazing to work with. It went smoothly and I knew I was in good hands the entire time. Dr. Honey improved my self confidence!!!
We’ve had such a wonderful experience with my daughter’s orthodontic care. Scheduling appointments has alway been so easy and they have always able to squeeze us in if need be. The entire staff is truly amazing! They really take their time with each patient. The results we have seen thus far have been amazing! I would highly recommend Dr. Honey!
We've had a great experience at Honey Orthodontics. The staff is always welcoming and friendly. They explained everything thoroughly and what to expect from treatment. Prior to starting treatment at Honey, we had several consultations with other providers and they didn't explain things like Dr. Honey's staff did. Highly recommend.

Wonderful experience! Always have convenient times and are able to work around schedules. Friendly, professional and helpful staff. Always felt like we were presented with all options and allowed to make the choices that was best for us. All the little extras, raffles, Santa, appearances at fairs really makes you feel like you are part of a family and not just visiting an orthodontist. We love it here ☺️

Frequently Asked Questions

We want you to feel confident about your smile journey. Here are answers to some of the most commonly searched orthodontic questions.

Can adults get braces or Invisalign later in life?

Absolutely. Orthodontic treatment is effective at any age, and many adults choose clear aligners for a more discreet option.

Sticky, hard, or chewy foods like caramel, popcorn, and hard candy should be avoided to prevent damage.

For best results, aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day, only removing them for meals and oral hygiene.

In many cases, you can use HSA or FSA funds to pay for treatment, helping reduce out-of-pocket costs.

Yes. At Honey Orthodontics, we provide interest-free payment plans so you can start treatment without financial strain.
