I had a great experience with Dr. Clanaman. She did my Invisalign and was amazing throughout the entire process. From the beginning, she made everything easy to understand and always took the time to make sure everything was going exactly how it should.

She’s very knowledgeable, patient, and detail-oriented, which made me feel confident the whole time. Anytime I had questions or concerns, she was always helpful and made sure I was comfortable with everything.

I’m really happy with my results and couldn’t recommend Dr. Clanaman enough. If you’re considering Invisalign or any orthodontic treatment, she’s definitely someone you can trust.

Dr. Lizz from the very first visit, she made me feel completely at ease and in such good hands. I usually get nervous going to the dentist, but she has such a calm, gentle energy that really makes a difference. I recently started my Invisalign treatment with her and I’m already seeing results. I’m really excited and can’t wait to see the final outcome.

Her office is beautiful and spotless, everything is very clean and professional. The staff is also amazing, so kind and attentive, which makes the whole experience even better.

I highly recommend Dr. Lizz. She’s not only an excellent professional, but also a genuinely sweet person who makes you feel comfortable and cared for 🤍

I cannot recommend Dr. Clanaman enough. I did a clear aligner treatment with her and the results exceeded my expectations. The entire process was incredibly efficient, taking just a few months and the results were amazing. She was also really thoughtful about aesthetics and avoided placing the attachments on my front teeth so my smile still looked good throughout treatment, which I really appreciated. She also made sure I was done with ample time before my wedding.

Beyond the amazing results, Dr. Clanaman is a genuinely kind and personable orthodontist who clearly cares about her patients being comfortable, informed, and having excellent outcomes. I strongly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional orthodontist!
