American River Orthodontics: Dr. Michael H. Payne

I put off getting braces for a long time, but as an adult the issues of having a misaligned bite kept bothering me. I came to this office from my dentist's referral and its been GREAT so far! All of the staff is super friendly and understanding. I got full bracket and wire braces and they definitely are painful at first but now a year or so later I really like them (they make me look super young too 😇) If you have healthy teeth definitely look into fixing your smile rather than getting something irreversible like veneers 😭

The BEST! Professional, knowledgeable and efficient. Both my boys had braces with Dr. Payne as did myself. Excellent customer service as well.

My daughter got her braces here and had a great experience with Dr. Payne. He was recommended by our pediatric dentist and we have been coming here since 2021.

An interesting fact: the sign says the clinic is open 24/7, which means seven days a week, around the clock. But in reality, they are closed on Saturdays and Sundays! If they are lying on their sign, how can you trust them with your treatment?

My old teeth looked like they had stage fright — hiding behind each other like kids at a middle school dance. Now? They stand tall, aligned like Navy SEALs on parade. Every visit has b
