Amanda L.

Bankhead Firth Orthodontics is a standout for making orthodontic care feel easy and even enjoyable. My son was nervous about getting Braces, but Dr. Bankhead put him at ease with her warm, friendly approach—explaining everything in simple terms and letting him choose fun band colors. The staff is equally fantastic, always patient during adjustments and quick to address any discomfort. The office is bright and modern with a comfortable waiting area, and they offer flexible scheduling that fits around school and sports.

What really shines is their attention to detail—his progress checks are thorough, and they celebrate milestones with small rewards. His smile looks amazing, and he never dreads appointments. We couldn’t ask for a better orthodontic team.

Bankhead & Firth Ortho has always been an amazing place to bring my kids for orthodontic care. We have had 4 kids as patients, so far (we have seven children), and we have had the absolute best experience with Bankhead & Firth Orthodontics. I recommend them to others all the time. Definitely five stars. ~Shelly Graves
