This is one of the best Ortho, or dental settings I’ve been to. The staff is always so friendly and understanding.

We had such an incredible experience with Apple Valley Orthodontics! From the very beginning, their entire team made us feel welcomed, informed, and truly cared for. Orthodontic treatment is a big journey, especially for a teenager, and they made the entire process smooth, encouraging, and positive every step of the way.

The attention to detail, professionalism, and kindness they show their patients is truly exceptional. They didn’t just straighten my daughter’s teeth — they gave her confidence in her smile. Watching the transformation has been amazing, and the results are absolutely beautiful.

I also want to give a special shout out to Aries at the front desk. She was always incredibly sweet, welcoming, and accommodating every time we came in. Having someone greet you with such kindness truly makes a difference and sets the tone for the whole experience.

Every visit was organized, efficient, and filled with friendly faces who clearly love what they do. It’s rare to find a medical office that combines such high-level skill with genuine compassion, but Apple Valley Orthodontics does exactly that.

We are beyond grateful for the care they gave my daughter and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for outstanding orthodontic care. Thank you for giving her a smile she is proud to show the world!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear about your positive experience at Apple Valley Orthodontics. Aries and the entire team appreciate your kind words and are committed to creating confident smiles for every patient!

Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Tiffany! We're thrilled to hear that Margarita made you and your kids feel so welcomed. It's our mission to create an amazing experience for families. We look forward to seeing you again!
Virginia P.
Back in 2015, my daughter started her braces here, and I honestly can’t believe it’s been almost 10 years since our journey with Apple Valley Orthodontics began. Since then, I’ve gone through Invisalign myself, and now my son is currently in Invisalign — this office has truly become a second family to us.
So we made appointment they had a come in for a consultation we then met with Amy is always so welcoming and kind. We first met her in the finance department, which was actually an easy process.
Now you can see her all over the floor, which I generally love. Because, still making it a point to say hello and check in and see how we are doing Her positive presence really sets the tone for the office.
Monica Velez has been absolutely outstanding over the years. Each and every one of us has had an amazing experience and incredible results. The entire staff is wonderful — always kind, patient, and genuinely willing to work with us no matter what.
From the front desk being friendly and welcoming, to Aries who is fantastic at scheduling and rearranging appointments to accommodate our hectic schedule — we have always felt taken care of. The techs are informative, gentle, and truly caring, you can tell they love what they do. I especially appreciate Isaac for encouraging my son and motivating him to stay consistent with his Invisalign.

We even look forward to using the lighting system once treatment is complete — that’s how much trust we have in their process.

We genuinely love everyone here and are so grateful for the care, professionalism, and kindness we’ve received over the years. I can’t recommend Apple Valley Orthodontics enough!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Virginia, for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to be part of your family's orthodontic journey. Your trust in Monica, Isaac, and our entire team means so much to us. We appreciate your support!
