“My two sons, along with myself, have had orthodontic treatment from Smiles for Life Orthodontics. We love Dr. M. and all of her staff. They are super thorough and care about each individual patient. I recommend them to everyone I know needing orthodontic work.”

“I really enjoy going to Smiles for Life, which is important while you have braces. I felt comfortable asking questions, and after two years, consider them like family! On top of all of this, my results are amazing after getting my braces off this week!”

-Christy

“I actually drive more than 40 minutes to go to Smiles for Life. I feel the drive is worth every minute of my time because of the quality of service my son receives. I feel the facility and staff are above all the rest! I like how my teenage son can check himself instantly in at the computer in the front desk. My other kids look forward to playing the video games in the waiting room. My son with the braces has never played them, since he always gets in to see the doctor so soon. We have always been treated like part of the family. His smile has transformed! I'll actually miss not going to the Dr. M. now that his braces are off — luckily, I have three more kids. Is it bad to hope they need braces too? I highly recommend Smiles for Life!”

-Megan

“This was an amazing experience. I have two kids who had braces and they LOVED going to Smiles for Life. Can you imagine enjoying going to the orthodontist when you have braces? I had them and I dreaded those visits when I was young and in another state. But Dr. Machado and her staff have created something that is not easily duplicated. The environment is warm and inviting. The staff is courteous and professional. The work they do there is unbelievably good. My daughter's smile looked like something out of a magazine for how bad her smile had gotten from thumb sucking. Her smile now is perfect. I cannot say enough good things about this office. They are truly a great group of people.”

-Christ

“I have been going to Smiles for Life for a little over two years. Dr. M. is and her staff treat you like family. She always makes me feel like she is personally concerned about me and the outcome of my teeth; not like it’s a job to her. And you feel that sentiment throughout the office. I don't feel like a patient, I feel like I am a friend and that's how everyone there treats you. From the first time, I came in for a consult and met with Missy; I knew this was a good place to be. Being an adult and getting braces for the first time, I felt a little self-conscious coming in, but they made me feel at ease and provided me with lots of information and answered all my questions. I would recommend Dr M and Smiles for Life to anyone looking to get braces.”

-Fredia

“Dr. Irelia Machado and her staff saved my teeth and warmed my heart! They were all courteous and very professional from the beginning to the end. I felt very comfortable, like I was already part of the family. I was provided more than one option to fixing my moved tooth, but was told which method would be the best for me. I chose the best method for me and I saved money. The overall atmosphere was very inviting. My teeth are very sensitive and they provide technology that makes it painless to shape teeth; usually other facilities technologies hurt my teeth where I am wincing in pain. I am so very pleased and happy I have moved to Smiles for Life Orthodontics!”

-Holly

“Dr. M. and her staff are always so helpful and kind. They make us feel right at home. My kids enjoy all the cool gadgets they have in the waiting area not to mention the treasure chest prize at the end of their appointment. Dr. M. has convenient hours, which makes it easy and quick to schedule appointments especially when the kids are in school. Smiles for Life Orthodontics is a GREAT place to be!”

-Carla

“It was a great experience working with Dr. Machado. She is always going the extra mile to get the perfect smile. She is dedicated to do the best braces in town. We love her personality and she is always smiling. Our son and triplet daughters are very happy and with four smiles for life. In addition, the office staff is great. They are always willing to work with you to make you feel at home.”

-Jesus

“You MUST consider Smiles for Life if you are considering orthodontics! I totally agree with every comment that has been made here! Dr. M. and her staff are the ideal combination of top-notch professionals and kind, caring people.”

-Alyson

“Dr. Machado and her team are wonderful! I just started braces two months ago and the whole team is great to work with. From the moment I stepped in I felt welcomed and at ease. Just a fun place to be! Thanks Dr. M. and staff for helping me with my smile.”
