We had a great experience with Dr. Criswell treating two of our kids. As a parent himself, he understands the needs of a family balanced with orthodontic needs only recommending what is necessary. As an added bonus, he is military friendly and gives a nice discount. I wish we were staying in the area for him to treat our other children.

I met twice with Dr. Criswell for two consults and he seemed to genuinely want to help as I was experiencing tooth pain for 6 months due to possible traumatic occlusion. Even though orthodontics was not recommended, Dr Criswell spent extra time trying to help figure out what was causing the mystery pain. Thank you Dr. Criswell and team.

Dr. Criswell and his office are all very kind and professional. I would definitely recommend his office to anyone seeking to get orthodontic treatment. I have been a patient of Dr. Criswell along with my two older children and now I am taking my youngest to see him. I wouldn’t trust anybody else, but Dr. Criswell.

Dr. Criswell and his staff were wonderful. Very thorough consultation for our two children. He is great at explaining and showing where there is need for correction and fortunately, only one child needs braces for now. All around great experience from booking the appointment, checking in at the front desk, to consul with Dr. Criswell and his treatment coordinator Crystal.

I had one of the best experiences at the MBO orthodontist. Every worker was extremely nice & friendly, like even more so than usual, they gave me plenty of info on my procedure, Invisalign & what to expect. They allowed me to ask questions & answered them thoroughly. Everyone was so kind & positive that it stuck out in my mind. I even got a bit of a discount for my procedure! I love this office & am excited to come back. If their dental treatment is half as good as they treat those coming into their office, I’m sure my teeth are in great hands.

Awesome visit. The whole staff were friendly and welcoming. Transitioning from braces to Invisalign. Today my braces were removed and prepped for Invisalign. Kim was great at making me feel at ease and relax. She scanned, took X-rays and took a mold of my teeth. She’ll be making the retainer. Dr Jaydee was friendly and very gentle while removing the residual glue from braces removal. Just a great experience in general.

As a transfer patient, I was worried they wouldn’t want to take me on since this will be my fourth orthodontist (military moves caused treatment disruptions). However, they were incredibly welcoming and kind. I’m excited to begin treatment here. They even have a military discount for braces! There’s a reason why they have such great reviews.
