Terrible experience.
I originally chose this office because I had a good experience there in the past. However, once my son became a patient, everything went downhill.
From the very first appointment after getting his braces on, his brackets started coming off within the first week. We had to return for a repair appointment, and even after they “fixed” them, the brackets came off again. This has been an ongoing issue for months.
At another visit, we were told he would not be seen unless a payment was made first despite me having an active contract and payment agreement with the office. Because of scheduling issues and repeated problems, my son has now gone 2–3 months without proper treatment.
Today I called to schedule an appointment and was told they are extremely short-staffed and he cannot be seen until May. I literally just made a $1,000 payment yesterday, yet my child still cannot receive care in a reasonable timeframe.
There have been red flags from the beginning frequent repairs, long gaps between care, and lack of availability. The office appears understaffed and unable to properly manage orthodontic patients.
At this point I am requesting a refund and transferring my son’s care elsewhere.
I’m writing this to warn other parents: please consider another orthodontist before committing your time and money. The delays, repeated bracket failures, and inability to get appointments have been extremely frustrating and stressful.

This was our first appointment going there. The staff were very friendly and didn't have to wait.
Frequently Asked Questions About Spark Orthodontics of York
Does our family dentist need to refer our child to see you?
Not at all! Many parents take the initiative to call us for an initial appointment themselves.
What will happen at my child’s free Spark Smile Assessment?
When you and your child first arrive at one of our orthodontic offices in PA, our staff and orthodontist will tell you a little about our office and what to expect. We will then take the necessary photographs and X-rays of your child’s teeth to allow us to make a proper diagnosis. Finally, the orthodontist will conduct a short, but detailed, exam and then discuss his or her findings with you both.
How long should I plan for my child to wear braces?
Treatment time depends on each child’s specific orthodontic situation. In general, it can range from 12 to 30 months. On average, a child or teen wears braces for about 22 months.
How much will braces cost? Do you offer financing for braces? What about insurance?
We will be able to give you answers to all of these questions right after your child’s free Spark Smile Assessment. We have many available financing options that we will review with you. If you have one, we will also review your insurance policy and help to maximize your benefit and file your claims.
How often will my child need to see an orthodontist?
We see most patients in braces every five to 10 weeks, but your child’s specific situation may require more frequent monitoring. Also, if you choose our Spark Accelerated Treatment, you can decrease their time in the orthodontist’s chair by 30 to 50%!
Do you offer after school hours?
We offer convenient hours before school and after work, opening at 7:30 am for two days per week and closing at 7:00 pm on two additional days. We will try our best to meet your scheduling needs. Because we schedule most appointments five to 10 weeks apart, most children miss minimal school time due to their orthodontic treatments.
Can my child return to school on the same day they get their braces?
Yes. There is no reason to miss school because of an orthodontic appointment.
Should my child still regularly see a dentist after they get braces?
Yes! Your child should still have regular dental checkups while in braces. Ask your family dentist how long your child should now wait between cleaning appointments.
Does my child need to avoid certain foods with braces?
Yes, they do. After your child begins treatment, we will explain their food choices thoroughly and give you a list of foods to avoid. For instance, they should steer clear of hard candy, ice, raw veggies and anything sticky, like taffy or caramel. If they don’t, you might find yourself at an emergency appointment to repair damaged or missing braces!
How frequently should my child brush their teeth while wearing braces?
They should brush their teeth after every meal and at bedtime. We’ll show your child how to floss properly and also give them a special fluoride prescription if we feel they would benefit.
How do you handle emergencies?
If your child feels extreme pain or they damage their braces, please call the office right away. Usually, we can solve problems over a telephone call. In a dire emergency, we will always make time for your child to come in.
