“Treatment with Dr. Todor is convenient and high tech. I had braces years ago and wanted to freshen-up my smile. I’m so impressed by Todorthodontics customized approach. He listened to my concerns and made me feel confident about doing treatment (again). I travel a lot and don’t live locally, but when you discover the best it’s worth the extra visits to San Francisco. Plus, they use tech to monitor my progress from home. This experience has been completely different, in good ways, from my previous braces experience. 10/10 - I recommend Dr. Todor for both the style of his treatment and the excellent customer service.”
