"Dr. Niles and his staff of very caring professionals have always treated my granddaughter, Jenna, with respect. She was very fearful of the whole process at first and they took the time to patiently explain every single step taken to correct her profound overbite. Lynette was especially kind and made the effort to see her almost every visit so that she had continuity. Finally she was able to go back to the treatment area on her own, confident that they would do their utmost to make her comfortable. We had the best experience, and Jenna’s teeth are beautiful! Thank you to everyone at TDR. We highly recommend TDR to anyone needing orthodontic treatment!!!"

“Outstanding service and staff at TDR Howell. Warm, kind, thorough, professional care from start to finish. My smile and bite were completely transformed. I am so happy with the end results. I was treated with Invisalign and remote care so that I did not have to make constant office visits. With a simple in home scan that I did weekly, they monitored my progress even when I was traveling out of state frequently. I was hesitant to get orthodontic treatment/ Invisalign at my age , 62. My open bite was causing damage to my teeth and oral health. Dr Niles knew exactly how to best treat my orthodontic issues gently and gave me incredible results in just 1 year. I highly recommend TDR of Howell , especially if you are an older adult.”
