Hulse Orthodontics in Carlsbad, California

My son just had his braces removed today at Hulse Orthodontics. I can tell you that his 2 year treatment was a success! I highly recommend Hulse Orthodontics First off all Dr. Hulse and his team of staff are wonderful. Always friendly, always! Always smiling and are genuinely kind. The office is clean and inviting. They recently moved and their new office is great, and the parking is a lot better, which I know the staff appreciate too. As my son was growing and getting his adult teeth in, I had a feeling that he would need orthodontic care. I first asked for recommendations from my friends on Facebook. 6 out of 8 of them referred me to Dr. Hulse. They don't even all know each other. So off we went for our first consultation in 2014 to Dr. Hulse. Walking in the office I had a good feeling just by the welcome we received. If you are reading this review, as a parent, or even an adult seeking treatment in the future, I understand two questions you might be thinking. Is it the right time? and Do they push you for treatment? The answer is yes, they will let you know if it's the right time or not. And the answer is No! They do not push you for treatment. Absolutely no pressure. At the end of our son's first consultation Dr. Hulse advised that our son wait at least one more year before they start the braces. He advised that his mouth and jaw needed to grow a little bit more, and also he still had 5 baby teeth (he was 13 years old). Dr. Hulse felt the baby teeth needed to come out naturally. That day I knew that Dr. Hulse would be the one to treat our son for orthodontic care. My son started treatment the following year in December 2015. The plan was laid out and well understood. Everything went exactly how Dr. Hulse said it would. My son's teeth were quite a challenge, after baby teeth came out. It ended up that 2 baby teeth came out naturally, the rest were removed by the dentist as needed. We were assured that things would get fixed, and the time frame was exactly as it was planned. My son't teeth look great and now it's time for the retainer. Thank you Dr. Hulse and your team
