Dr. Machado and the team do a fantastic job! Our son had some timidness and defensiveness with oral work since he had previous facial surgeries. We were worried early intervention with an expander would be too hard for him to manage emotionally. Dr. Machado has a very friendly nature and put him at ease from the first appointment. She is encouraging and the whole experience was perfect. We finished his treatment right on time and if any issue came up the staff provided us an immediate response and helped resolve it as soon as possible. His teeth look amazing and it improved how he felt about himself. Would 100% recommend.

I can not say enough wonderful things about Dr. Machado and her staff!My son started treatment at Smiles for Life when he was 8 (he is now almost 15) and he has gone from an expander, to braces, to a retainer, to spark trays, and now at a retainer again. Every step of the way has been so easy and we have always been comfortable with the treatment. And now my daughter (8yrs. old) is here starting with her expander. We are so thankful for everyone at Smiles for Life being a part of our kids' journeys to wonderful smiles!

Smiles for life is the best. The people working there are so sweet. Special shoutout to the front desk workers! (Not that I don’t care about the orthodontists, but the front counter workers are very nice and happily go the extra mile for you). Smiles for life is also is very accommodating with last minute appointments and emergencies. One of the reasons we chose them was because of their approach. Their costs and treatment plan length were comparable with other orthodontists, however Dr. Machado was able to gradually increase the amount of hardware for my daughter instead of putting everything on at once causing it to hurt more. Definitely recommend.
