Every Smile Tells a Story

We love it when our patients smile, and we love it even more when want they want to tell the world! Check out what our patients have to say about their 5-star experience with us.
Rhylee S.
I was nervous about braces but after my experience at this office and the enthusiastic, comforting, and caring staff I am so excited for my future appointments. The process to get them on was very quick and painless. They provided me with everything I needed to care for my braces and I am so glad I chose their office!
Laquelia S.
Everyone treated very professional and kind. The process was very quick. My daughter loves her new look.
Clair B.
The amount of questions I asked was unreal. The office manager sat and answered every single one with a smile on her face. I wouldn't go anywhere else. They were amazing
Nina S.
I had such a great experience with the team at SB Orthodontics in Addis! The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and greets you with a smile. The orthodontists are truly amazing, and every visit was thorough and comfortable. Dr. Stephen Jr. was incredibly kind and never forgot a face. Thank you, SB Orthodontics, for helping me smile with confidence!
jeannine R.
This is an awesome place to get braces!! They are very friendly and knowledgeable!! Love going to this place!!
Kayla C.
I am so grateful to the wonderful people working at Sherman & Balhoff. My journey to a new smile only lasted a little over a year and I am so happy with my smile today! 😊
Katarina S.
They take their time to explain every step of the process, answers all questions thoroughly, and makes both kids and parents feel completely comfortable. You can tell they truly care about their patients and take pride in their work. The results have been amazing, and we couldn’t be happier with the progress so far.
Emily G.
We are always well taken care of at Sherman and Balhoff! Friendly faces all around, and the sweetest Ms. Ashley at the front desk!
Carly D.
After having my braces off for only 7 months from a previous orthodontist, I switched to S&B after not being happy with my results and incomplete treatment. One of the best decisions I've made. Great with time management, quick and easy appointments, friendly staff. Definitely recommend.
Allison K.
They are amazing with everyone. My daughter just had braces put on in May and they have been wonderful with questions, etc.
Dana G.
I used Sherman and Balhoff myself as an adult and now my daughter is a patient there. They are the best and go above and beyond for their patients. Dr. Sherman even came back after closing because my daughter was having an issue with her bite after getting her braces put on. He was so very nice and professional. I would recommend them to anyone.
Spunky E.
I only been in for first appointment and so far it has been great. The facility is great and the staff is all fantastic!
