Testimonials
"Dr. Henry is truly one-of-a-kind. He is a kind, thoughtful, patient doctor, and a meticulous artist. His work is absolute perfection. This work cannot be done by just any orthodontist - this takes extreme skill and YEARS of practice. He is one of the best, if not THE BEST at lingual braces in the country. Always staying ahead of technology and doing things that no one else dares to try because it's "too difficult." Dr. Henry is a true thought leader in the orthodontics industry and is incredibly well respected amongst his patients and his peers. I am truly grateful to have had Dr. Henry and his team of professionals overseeing my case. I no longer suffer from years of extremely painful TMJ and now have an even more beautiful smile to go with it. Dr. Henry is extremely dedicated to his craft and will stay by your side until you are 1000% happy with the way your case looks. I absolutely recommend Dr. Henry to anyone and everyone! I hope you choose him and his team, and enjoy your beautiful new smile :)" - Jessica
"Dr. Henry not only provides cutting-edge orthodontia but he is truly kind, compassionate, and caring. Fortunately, I was referred to him for evaluation of extreme malocclusion, TMJ, and facial pain. Previous braces did not help and other orthodontists recommended extensive jaw reconstruction. Given that I had received many different treatments to relieve the pain without much success I was cautiously optimistic but was at a point I was willing to give anything a try. In short, I have been amazed by the outcome!
Dr. Henry and Vikki spend an extended time with me explaining lingual braces, and the treatment process, reviewing my images, and discussing a treatment plan. Dr. Henry is meticulous in his treatment planning and decision-making. He studies the latest treatment approaches and is very thoughtful and thorough as he examines your teeth and bite to determine the best way to move your teeth without causing a worsening of TMJ and facial pain. I have now been wearing lingual braces for about 1 year and cannot believe the difference – my molars touch and my teeth fit the way they should. Prior to Dr. Henry’s lingual braces, I couldn’t chew and essentially ate a liquid or soft diet. Now my teeth are functional and eating and chewing is feasible. Oh, and my teeth look beautiful too. After many years of extreme facial pain, I have none! I’m amazed and wish I had met Dr. Henry years ago!
The whole Arizona Orthodontics Exclusively staff - Vikki, Heather, and the dental assistants are all amazing too. The office is very personal, accommodating, understanding, and treat you like family. I travel from out of town and am so glad that I made the decision to be treated by Dr. Henry and the Arizona Orthodontics Exclusively crew. They truly care and provide leading, sophisticated treatment that is worth the travel and commitment. If you have TMJ, facial pain, or malocclusion a visit to Dr. Howard L. Henry should be on your list!" - Anna
"If I could give Dr. Howard Henry and his staff 10 stars, I absolutely would. I've been a patient of theirs for years. To begin with, they treat you like family. Dr. Henry himself is one of the kindest people I've met, and the same goes for his staff. They treat all of their patients like family, always remembering milestones in your life, and going the extra mile to put you at ease.
I had braces as an adolescent and was not compliant with my retainers after my initial treatment. I was also a chronic mouth breather which caused changes to my jaw alignment. Subsequently an adult, I developed a malocclusion which was causing me atrocious TMJ, in addition to an asymmetry in my facial structure from jaw movement. I could have needed surgery, but fortunately, Dr. Henry knew how to treat my case non-surgically.
Dr. Henry is the best of the best - and why is that? It's not only because of his incredible bedside manner. He goes above and beyond to master cutting-edge treatment plans. Dr. Henry heavily invests his time and energy extensively in training, all around the world, staying up to date with the most sophisticated treatment modalities. I have met very few professionals as committed to their craft as Dr. Henry is, and this is very apparent in his outcomes.
When Dr. Henry suggested lingual braces for my case, I was pleasantly surprised, because this is not something that many orthodontists offer. This is a cutting-edge treatment, especially for the significant amount of movement required for my malocclusion. However, Dr. Henry had done these on many, many adult patients, and his results were superb. We had a lengthy initial consultation where he showed me the outcomes of cases that, as a doctor, I was blown away by. It was absolutely impressive that he was able to treat these cases so beautifully with a non-surgical approach. Many of his patients would have needed surgery if they had not been saved by Dr. Henry's novel approaches.
Before my treatment, I had intense TMJ pain that was bothersome, to say the least, to deal with. He put me at ease during my entire treatment. I am an out-of-town patient from Los Angeles and chose to make the trip for each appointment because I did not want to settle for anyone but the best orthodontist. My treatment has been completed, and my jaw is at ease, I no longer have TMJ, and my facial shape has tremendously improved. Not only has this improved my face from an aesthetic standpoint, but has also set me up for better breathing, a more open airway, better posture, and ultimately better health.
I am so lucky to have had Dr. Howard Henry as an orthodontist, and to have been treated like family by him and his staff. They always went the extra mile to accommodate my schedule and made me feel so special each time I was in the office. Choose Dr. Henry as your orthodontist if you want exceptional, sophisticated care from someone who goes the extra mile to bring you the best treatment modalities, all while making you feel safe, comfortable, and taken care of." - Dr. Pooja
"Dr. Henry and his entire team deserve five stars. My teeth had moved so much since my teenage braces came off years ago, I didn’t think they could be corrected. Dr. Henry achieved wonderful results. I am so pleased! They are professional and supportive. A pleasure to work with each and everyone." - Susan
"As a child, I had braces for crooked teeth, but my cross bite was never corrected. As I aged my teeth started to shift and get very worn. I went to 2 Orthodontists in the 90s who told me I would probably need jaw surgery before I could get braces. Upon moving to AZ I discussed my problems with my new dentist. He referred me to Dr. Henry. It was the best thing that ever happened. Dr. Henry told me he would be able to fix my teeth with lingual braces and Sure Smile QT. I started the program in 2016 and my braces were removed 4 1/2 years later. I couldn't have been happier with the results! Dr. Henry and his team are wonderful. Vikki the treatment coordinator and Heather the financial coordinator are both lovely and so nice to deal with. They always go the extra mile to help with any problems. Dr. Henry is such a wonderful person and a real perfectionist. He also spoke to my dentist at times to coordinate some of my treatments, such as new veneers to fix some of my worn-down teeth. I never thought my teeth would turn out so perfect! Thank you Dr. Henry for my beautiful smile. I feel blessed to have found you!" - Robin
"I highly recommend Dr. Henry and his friendly staff to help with TMJ, correcting the bite, straightening teeth and/or beautifying smile." - HMD Nutrition
"Dr. Henry has successfully treated my orthodontic needs for years and I cannot thank him enough. He is honest, fair, knowledgeable but most of all, kind. The front desk staff and technicians have also been wonderful. Thank you Arizona Orthodontics!!!!" - Taylor
"Before I met Dr. Henry, every orthodontist I met with told me the only way to fix my issue was with surgery. My dentist (and long-time family friend) pleaded with me to meet with Dr. Henry since my jaw/teeth were so bad. I let him know surgery was not an option for me for several reasons and the appt was pointless. He insisted and I am so grateful he did! Dr. Henry was honest with me from the beginning about it being a long process with what we were starting with. Surgery would have been the quicker option, but he was confident he could fix everything if I was willing to give him the time needed. Seeing the before and after pictures proves it has been worth every step in the process. He is very thorough and watching his brain work while watching him process what he's working with at each visit is fascinating. He has a genius brain at moving the puzzle pieces.
And most offices you go to, the front office staff is unpleasant and often makes you want to find another office just so you aren't stuck dealing with them. The doctor could be great but if the staff handling every other aspect of your business with them is terrible, you'll find somewhere else. Every employee I've ever encountered is wonderful! Sometimes I show up a little early or stay a few after just to catch up with the ladies on life, vacations, furbabies, and kiddos. They make you feel like family. I think it also speaks volumes about Dr. Henry's character that his staff has been with him 20+ years, one has been with him 27 years. No one stays with an employer that long if they do not feel appreciated or feel they are not treating their patients/clients with honesty and quality treatment. If you are hesitant, don't be. It has been worth every step and I wouldn't change anything. He is the reason I have the confidence to smile big!" - Kellie
