​We couldn't be happier with the results from this office! I have two daughters in treatment here; one has officially finished and has an absolutely gorgeous smile, and my second is almost done with a tremendous transformation already.
​The entire team is truly elite, but we have to give a special shout-out to Ms. Kelly. Her attention to detail and all the 'special touches' she provides make every appointment a breeze. They don't just straighten teeth; they truly care about their patients. Highly recommend!"

Bradford Orthodontics came highly recommended from a family member so I already knew I’d be in good hands. My expectations were exceeded on my very first appointment. From the women up front who checked me in, to the hygienists in the back who were always so gentle and kind, to Dr. Bradford and Dr. Colby who took their time to deliver the best care, everyone has always been so caring and just all out great at what they do. You can tell everyone enjoys their job, and the atmosphere there is relaxing and warm, and that in itself speaks wonders. Dr. B and Dr. Colby have outstanding bedside manner and they did an excellent job at correcting my bite and making my teeth as perfect as could be. I never once felt uncomfortable or in the dark as to what the plan was. They really do care and that is obvious during every interaction. I can’t give enough good praise about this practice and the wonderful people who work there. Thank you all so very much.
We’ve been patients at Orthodontics by Brandford (Palm City office) for two years, and it has been such a positive experience. The entire staff is kind, professional, and always welcoming! They make every visit smooth and comfortable for my son (soon my daughter). I feel completely confident and trusting of this practice. It’s reassuring to know he is receiving excellent care from a team that truly cares about their patients.

We had an excellent experience with this orthodontic office from start to finish. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and professional, and they truly make you feel comfortable at every visit. The orthodontist is knowledgeable, patient, and takes the time to explain everything clearly. The results have been amazing, and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-quality orthodontic care!

Not sure about the previous review, but our son had the greatest experience we could ask for. Not only does his smile look great, the staff always treated us like family. From the beginning the treatment coordinator, Kelly explained everything and laid out the program so we understood what to expect and we couldn’t be happier. If you are looking for orthodontic care for yourself or family this is the place to go.
