“Smiles Doctors staff in Wheaton is friendly and professional. The office is clean and inviting. Both my kids got their braces at Smiles. My son usually did a closed mouth smile but after he got his braces off not anymore!”

“This was my first time going to Dr. Allen and I am so happy with how my teeth turned out. They weren’t that bad to begin with because I did have braces when I was younger I just stopped wearing the retainers I was given and my top teeth shifted a bit. But I am soooo much happier with Dr. Allen’s results. I was mostly self conscious about my two front teeth because they looked like bunny teeth but Dr. Allen filed down parts of my teeth that made them look big and now they’re aligned with the rest of my teeth! I had also finished my treatment but I still felt like there was one tooth that was slightly behind the rest of them, like the smallest amount that I felt like I was exaggerating but I knew it was something I would have to live with so I told him anyways. He started a new treatment right away and told me he saw what I was talking about and validated my concerns! Dr. Allen really just wants you to be comfortable and happy with your smile, I will be recommending this location to friends and family!”

“I am writing this review several years out of treatment (when this practice was previously known as Wheaton Orthodontics) and can attest that Dr. Allen did a beautiful job! I had no idea how severe my crowding and overbite were before I came in for my consultation as an adult in 2017. He put together a treatment plan immediately and started my treatment the following day knowing I had to leave to work out of state within a couple days. He explained every step to me and was so kind and understanding – the staff is exceptional, too. Scheduling is flexible and everything about timing, expenses, etc is transparent. I ended up also requiring double jaw surgery in 2018 to fully correct my bite and Dr. Allen was able to communicate with my oral surgeon out of state (Dr. Heath Evans in Oklahoma). I was finished with my braces in spring of 2019 and have maintained my correction with nightly invisible liners since. When I needed replacements, I was easily able to set up an appointment and pick up new retainers within the same week. I am now 4 years out of finishing my braces and I am so, so happy with my results (and so is my dentist). I was so self conscious and hated having my picture taken or even laughing or smiling without covering my mouth before having my bite and crowding corrected. Now I‘m happy to smile and laugh both in front of a camera and in everyday life. Thank you for everything, Dr. Allen and crew!”
