The idea of braces and a double jaw surgery felt very daunting, however I decided to proceed for functional purposes and entrusted myself to Dr. McLeod and her amazing staff at Embrace Orthodontics. For just over 3 years I was blessed with an amazing level of professional service that always felt inviting and comforting. Pre-surgery and post-surgery, they prepared me for everything and made sure that I was always taken care of. Now I have completed my journey and what was rationalized as a necessary treatment for functional purposes has proven to have been well worth the time and investment, and

I would highly recommend Embrace Orthodonics after completing treatment to straighten my teeth. I’m nearing 72 years of age and made the decision to do it so that I wouldn’t have any regrets. Life often gets in the way of getting started on things but I have proven “ it’s never too late.” Dr. Mc Leod once asked how long I’d had the braces on and I replied jokingly, “ Long enough to have a baby.” She laughed but what a surprise when after a Covid shutdown I learned she’d had a baby. The staff at her Bridgewater clinic are fantastic and made the process a pleasant experience.

I am a senior citizen who had doubts about having Invisalign braces but my family urged me to have it done. Only one year later my teeth are straight and I was amazed at how easy it was. Both my daughters think my teeth look awesome and I am extremely happy now that I had it done. It’s never too late! Dr. McLeod and her staff are so kind and thoughtful. I actually enjoyed my visits and will miss seeing them.

I finally decided to fix my teeth at the age 30, Dr Mcleod and her entire team was amazing through the whole process. Having braces will always be challenging but dealing with all of the wonderful women at embrace made the experience so much easier. I love my final results, I never thought my teeth could look this good. Thank you so much, Embrace!

It's never too late! Braces are not just for kids. At the age of 36, I decided to finally get my teeth fixed up for my upcoming wedding. I had some bad crowding, an extra tooth messing things up, and my bite was very misaligned. Dr. Catherine McLeod and her team were amazing. Efficient, professional, and thorough are the top 3 words that come to mind in describing them, and with orthodontics I'd say those are the best words to be associated with. If you're an adult and don't like your teeth - closed mouth smiles, covering your mouth when you laugh - then give it a try. You won't be disappointed
