Communication

Successful relationships are oftentimes defined by the success of their communication ...
Clarity and kindness are characteristics that usher in the desire to listen with the intent to understand, rather than respond. When we do so with our patients and each other, we place the individual first and in turn, foster a successful relationship.

Next Level
Accountability

In any given hour of any given day, difficult situations may arise. In that moment, doing the right thing may seem hard or even impossible ...
However, as we assess the situation, understand it, own it, and act decisively, our actions will speak louder than words ever could and trust will be fortified for the future.

Florida Life
I chose NL Orthodontics for my braces for several reasons. 1) They were very welcoming and made me feel comfortable during the 1st consultation. First impression was everything for me. 2) Their prices were very competitive with other clinics and had several advantages over others. 3) They were able to start my treatment within several weeks which was huge for me. 4) Their team is exceptionally professional. Bottom line, I have several clinics around me, but I chose to drive over 30 min and be with NL Orthodontics, because I trust THEM with my results!
