Yez is so wonderful. She’s always initiative and patient and explains everything so well to me.
Cesar and Yez always try their hardest to schedule me what works with my schedule. Both are very helpful and pleasant.
Angel Rodriguez O.
The entire staff is super friendly and welcoming. I’m glad I chose this orthodontist for my son’s braces.

Everyone is awesome. No matter the issue. As someone with a cleft pallet, Dr King and her AWESOME team handled my unique issue with the utmost care. Ive been coming here for nearly a decade and havent had a single issue. Whether its a simple braces plan or a complex unique situation they got your back!!
Tiffany L.

Dr.Darren Halthom is amazing, he explains everything and answers all my questions and concerns! The office staff is also excellent! Highly recommend!
Paula R.
Both of my kids have received treatment here. Leslie at the front desk is always friendly and helpful in person or on the phone. Staff is great and helpful with explaining things in detail. They are always on time with appointments. My kids love Dr. Darcy. She is so kind and calming and she truly cares about her patients. The office is always clean and relaxing. Highly recommend treatment here.
Lisa G.
Every time we've been there it's been awesome they've been polite they've been informative and I feel like they're taking very good care of my children. Out of the three right now two of them are embraces and it had been a painless LOL experience at least for me. I would highly recommend them.
Jaelnn W.
I have been going to haltom orthodontics for over 7 years. They always make you feel welcome and comfortable. They do there best to keep your time in mind, working quickly and efficiently. I have never had a problem here, and highly recommend going to haltom for any one who is needing braces. They truly do treat you like family.

Haltom Orthodontics is great and I highly recommend the team! The office is clean, modern, and well-organized, and the staff is always friendly, and professional. Dr. Haltom is knowledgeable, nice, and makes the kids feel comfortable. They do an excellent job !
dori V.
My daughters bonded retainer was breaking loose, poking her and making it hard to eat. Her Orthodontist had retired so I called around and found Haltom Orthodontics. They were able to get her in next day, beautiful facility, friendly and professional staff. They took ex-rays and let us know that they do not carry the same material as our previous orthodontist. They had originally given me a quote over the phone but ended up removing the retainer and buffing the glue off for no charge. I will definitely go back to purchase a new overnight retainer. Thank you Haltom Orthodontics for a great experience.
Dessie L.
I wanted to give a shout out to Gwen. She is the best and has been so amazing to my daughter and I. She’s made this whole process so comfortable and has been extremely helpful! I am so grateful for her and everyone at Haltom Orthodontics!
Deanna H.
They are the best. I finished my Invisalign in 2020 and still had my original retainers. However, my dog decided that they would make a good chew toy. Today, I went back in to be refitted for new ones. It was a great experience. She was fast and efficient. The goo even tasted good, and she told me some jokes. The front dest staff were just as friendly, too. The whole experience was wonderful. Thank you so much, and keep up the great work.
Alondra C.
The staff are all so nice and amazing I always had such a good experience with them and now that I got my braces off it was such a nice experience they tell u if your uncomfortable to let them know and they add Vaseline so your lips so they don't chap which was so amazing because in other places they do not do that and overall they give u such a heart warning experience
Anitha N.
The best one definitely. My daughter had her braces and it went just perfect. Highly recommend
Gersson I.
Went in for retainer replacement and was treated very nicely by everyone there! Thank you especially to Lisa for making sure my retainers fit perfectly!!!
