I went here when I was 13 to get braces put on for my big gap and the service was amazing! My mom and I felt completely welcome. The front desk ladies were really nice and always offered water or coffee. The dentist is the nicest person you'll ever meet too. There's a game room and everything is really fast and easy. And my teeth came out BEAUTIFUL! I still get compliments on my smile! Hoping to come back soon for another set of braces because I lost my retainers :

This is a super late review - like years late. My daughter got her braces here five years ago. She got them when Braces was at their old location, and finished up at their newer location. Dr. Asbury was super nice, as were all the staff. They always answered questions in a professional and friendly manner, even dumb questions! Never pushy or condescending, it was a nice experience.
In the old location, the place was exceptionally clean and well maintained. Everyone in my family is all grown up now so we probably won't be back here : I kinda miss seeing all the staff and doctors. Definitely recommended.

I had been doing some research on finding an orthodontist that would do an amazing job with my teeth. I had gone to check out a couple offices and didn't like them, when I walked in to Braces San Diego, their offices were really nice and high tech. The staff was very amazing. I decided to get clear braces with them. I had my braces on for 18months and all my visits were amazing, I grew close to the staff since everyone is very kind and caring. Dr. Asbury is very experienced and has a lot of knowledge.
He answers all your questions and makes you feel very welcomed. They're all very accommodating with your schedule. When I had my braces a lot of people would compliment my braces and often asked where they were done and make an appt and make this office their orthodontist office. I highly recommend this place.

We are switching from my daughter's dentist (who does orthodontics, but isn't an orthodontist) to Dr. Asbury. Not only is his office conveniently located to our home, the staff is so welcoming and friendly. His education and experience made it a no-brainer to choose him for our daughter's orthodontic work and I even have an appointment for a consultation for myself.

Now that my kids are past braces, I decided to do Invisalign for myself. I'd only had my teeth quasi-straightened in my late teens by using a retainer system with brackets on it that didn't completely address my issues. I briefly considered a mail-order Invisalign-type option, but decided it wouldn't be good. Without regular visits with a dr, if I had any complications (loose teeth, rubbing appliances, etc) I would be out of luck.
And while they promised that treatment would only take 8 months, the results wouldn't be as good. Dr. Asbury actually told me better results would happen with regular braces, but I didn't think I could tolerate those. He came up with a 2 year treatment plan for me that involves rubber bands and these little spots of enamel on the outside of my teeth in order to move them better.
Who knew you could use rubber bands with Invisalign? This is something you can't do with the mail-order place. I'm glad I'm doing it because my chronic jaw pain has gotten a lot better by wearing them (my jaw joint had worn off all the cartilage, and wearing these creates a space between the joints). His assistant told me that Dr. Asbury actually teaches other orthodontists how to do Invisalign, so if you go this route, consider using him.

Braces San Diego knocked it out of the park with their friendly, professional, and quick service. I am so glad I found this place online. I highly recommend this office, and my son does as well. He just got his braces put on. He is using good hygiene and has not been eating items from the "NO NO" List. Dr Asbury, your staff did an excellent job in reviewing the basics, when you have braces. I highly recommend this office: Braces San Diego.

I had a few consult visits here to discuss getting braces. During each visit, the staff was super friendly and helpful. The facilities were clean and welcoming. I was able to find good parking in the lot. And the Dr. is simply amazing. The billing office consultation was very thorough and I was provided with various payment options. I highly recommend this facility if you are looking for this type of work. I seriously doubt that you will find any better. La Sonja Peisker

This Doctor is by far the most unprofessional and rude man I have met in awhile. We came off a recommendation from our dentist. We were greeted by him scolding my 2 very young children for not sitting to his standard. He then proceeded to ask if my daughter who is 9 had any developmental delays?! Why you ask? I have no idea. We were there for orthodontic advise you see. Let's just say she will need braces and, he is right down the street but I would rather drive to LA then come back here. Don't bother. Mom of 3

Today marks the one year anniversary of getting my braces off, and what a year it has been! Growing up, I was always self-conscious about my teeth but had numerous negative dental experiences that led me to believe there was nothing I could do to fix them. Years later, at 27, I decided to give orthodontia a shot. After careful research, I chose Braces San Diego, and I am so glad I did.
Every single staff member is positive, warm, and welcoming, and they have made the entire process pain and fear free. For me, it was especially important to find an orthodontist who not only served adults but also removed any stigma of getting braces as an adult. Dr. Asbury and his staff exceeded my expectations in that regard. The entire process went quickly, and I am so happy with the results.
I feel like a new and improved version of myself. I was recently observed teaching a class, and my adviser listed my confidence as one of my top qualities. People are always complimenting me on my smile. Two and a half years ago, I never would have expected either of those things to be possible. I'm going to miss seeing the staff on a regular basis, and I will never be able to thank them enough. If you're thinking about braces (and Braces San Diego in particular), do it. It'll be one of the best decisions you ever make.

I'm glad Gary Hirsch has retired as other parents don't have to put up with him. On Numerous occasions he would try to caress patients's hair with their parents right by them. Did it to me as well during my initial consultation and it happened so quick I was like wtf? He is like a creepy grandfather. I'm surprised his all female staff and Moms who took their kids here never reported him to the medical board as he clearly is crossing a line. On the other hand his staff were all great but I stopped referring people here after seeing his antics.
