Orthodontic appliances can be made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to a corrected position. This is a great time to wear braces! Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. You can often choose brackets that are clear or metallic, and sometimes you can choose the color of the ties that hold the wire in brackets.

My oldest child is Deaf and uses ASL. When we began our search for an orthodontist, some complained about the cost of providing an interpreter, not Dr. Shepherd. Not only did his office willingly provide an ASL interpreter for every appt, but he rercorded the movies he shows to include captions on them. Our son was his only Deaf patient too. We were so impressed with him and his staff that we brought our 2nd oldest son to get braces with him too. Now both boys are done with their braces and their teeth look great! I'd recommend Shepherd orthodontics to everyone! And will use him for my younger children.

I am obligated to leave a review after my experience. I am not a patient and have not had orthopedic work done for about 8 years now. My permanent retainer broke off on one tooth. Shepherd Orthodontics was the closest office to me. Normally to have a single tooth recemented it costs about $50. This processes is only about 10 minutes so it is costly for the time. Shepherd refused my payment even after I insisted to pay.
They said the work is so little and so quick they do not want me to pay for it, and I'm not even their patient. When this work was needed before, every orthodontist was very quick to take my card and charge it. 10/10 would break my retainer again and go back to them. Good business practices and employees.

Our daughter, the third family member to be treated by Dr. Shepherd, just finished treatment. We knew she would need orthodontic care pretty early on, and he saw her for years, keeping track of how her teeth were doing and planning the eventual treatment. It took a while due to crowding and an unusual tooth, but now her molars meet and decent chewing is possible!
The beautifully straight front teeth are wonderful too, of course : Dr Shepherd always gives careful consideration to each treatment plan, clearly presenting the pros and cons of alternative options. I especially appreciate the time he takes to explain everything. All the employees are very friendly and welcoming, and his office sends us an occasional card to mark a special event or wish us well. We're already repeat customers, and we'll be taking our other kids to Dr. Shepherd if they need braces.

Dr Shepard and his entire staff are absolutely amazing! After putting two children through braces with a different orthodontist we were definitely looking for a change. We heard about Dr Shepard through a friend. After our first visit with Dr. Shepherd and our third child in braces we were very excited to start the process with him. She just got her braces off and her teeth are absolutely beautiful.
I cannot recommend Dr. Shepherd enough! I wish I could give more than five stars : His staff is so friendly and very helpful. Thank you and our only regret is that we would have put all 3 children in braces with him!

Dr. Shepherd has treated me twice, 10 years apart due to my terrible choice not to wear my retainer as a stubborn teenager. I recently just finished my re-treatment and couldn't be happier! When I wanted to get braces again, I knew exactly who I wanted to be treated by. Dr. Shepherd is extremely caring, experienced, and his staff are fabulous. I'd recommend anyone and everyone to have him manage their orthodontic needs!

Dr. Shepherd is a perfectionist when it comes to straightening teeth! I have 4 children going to him and my oldest just got her braces off. Her teeth look beautiful! He is very thorough and thoughtful about each case and explains the options of treatment. We have been very pleased! My kids are also at Snowcrest so it is so nice having them walk to the office and back to school.
