My son started his treatment around 9 yr because of crowding issue. From very beginning, the staff was very helpful with what’s the financial situation and what my insurance would cover. I was worried my son would not like this, but it went so much well comparing myself childhood experiences. They let kids collect points by being on time, keeping oral hygiene and even wearing their T-shirt. They also let parents know how long each appointment will be. If some emergency happens (like a bracket loosen) it’s always so easy to book an appointment quickly.

Both doctors are great and experienced. My son started with an expander and you can really see how it works just after a month. What’s the most important thing is he never complain going to the appointments and never whining about braces or other stuff. It went very smoothly; after about one and half year treatment, now his teeth look so nice. We are waiting for his 12 yr molars and will start the second treatment afterwards. Soon, my younger one (8 yr) will also start her treatment as well.

We have nothing but great things to say about Dexter Ortho! Dr. Moenssen and Dr. Shoukri are so amazing! Both of my kids have gone through their program and I can honestly say that we have never had a bad experience in all the years. From phone calls, to scheduling, to appointment times, waits, and follow-ups. They are so thorough in making sure we understand the process and take great care of our two girls. We highly recommend!! Thank you for all you do, personally from our family and also within our community!!

We cannot thank the team at Dexter Orthodontics enough for the outstanding care they provided to our son, Connor. As someone with autism, Connor can be sensitive to new environments and procedures, but the staff went above and beyond to ensure he felt comfortable every step of the way.

From the moment we walked in, they were kind, patient, and understanding, taking the time to explain everything in a way Connor could easily process. They worked at his pace, never rushing him, and created an atmosphere where he felt safe and respected. It made such a difference to us as parents to see Connor smiling and at ease during his visits.

We are so grateful for their expertise, compassion, and dedication. If you're looking for an orthodontist who truly cares about their patients and takes special needs into consideration, this is the place to go. Thank you for helping Connor achieve a confident smile!
