Fantastic experience: Clock Tower Orthodontics is so wonderful! Everyone is always on top of things, and gets you in and out of appointments with a blink of an eye! I recently got my braces removed, and I am beyond happy with the results! This place is definitely worth your time and money!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic staff, affordable payment plans, and Dr. Short is amazing!
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with Clock Tower! There were a few hiccups early on, but they were sure to sort them out quickly. It took slightly longer than expected, but they were still just as thorough after the estimated time was up, so they didn't rush to get me done. Would recommend
Fantastic experience: Amazing office
Fantastic experience: Dr. Short and the staff at Clocktower are top notch!! Thank you!!
Fantastic experience: Great work
Fantastic experience: Amy was super helpful getting started on paperwork for braces for two of my kiddos. We love Steven during appointments, he explains so well and is very good at making the kids feel comfortable. Dr. Short is also super helpful at explaining and providing quality treatment! I'd definitely recommend Clock Tower Orthodontics.
Fantastic experience: We love Dr. Short, we are so glad he's in Middleton! Amy and Tracie are so helpful and answer all my questions and concerns. They got us in and out so fast. Glad we choose to come here for braces for my son, he loves Steven the assistant, he's very well at explaining what's going on while getting his braces on.
Fantastic experience: I have full confidence in Dr. Short and the whole team for my daughter's braces. I feel like I won the jackpot because they are our local orthodontist office! So friendly and knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: My care plan changed from Invisalign to braces, and throughout the entire process the staff was friendly, prompt, and incredibly helpful. They have an amazing team! Everyone was very thorough and made me feel well taken care of every step of the way. Alissa, Steven, and the entire staff took great care of me. I highly recommend going to Dr. Short for ortho services — he truly knows what he’s doing to achieve the perfect smile! I couldn’t be happier with my results and my perfect smile!!
Fantastic experience: Years ago I had gone to Clock Tower Ortho for Invisalign. They were so kind and helpful. They explained everything in full detail and answered all of my questions. They always were able to get me in quick. Recently my permanent retainer fell off (after four years) and I have moved away by this point. I went to another Ortho and it was horrible. So I called Clock Tower and explained to the wonderful ladies at the desk what had happened. They got me in within days and fixed me all up! I love this place and will travel to them even though I am quite a distance away. Thank you Clock Tower!
Fantastic experience: I SOOO RECOMMEND this amazing professionals! Get your braces DONE here ppl! Amazing work, TOP NOTCH service! Talk to AMY PICKETT. Very helpful & kind. I appreciate her SMILE
Fantastic experience: Wonderful staff and Doctor. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: We had an absolutely amazing experience with Clocktower Orthodontics! My daughter needs braces, and from the moment we walked in, the entire process felt smooth, welcoming, and genuinely supportive. Amy was incredible to work with. She took the time to walk us through every step, answered all of our questions, and made sure we fully understood what to expect. Nothing felt rushed or confusing, which I really appreciated as a parent trying to make the best decision for my child. The entire team was professional, kind, and clearly cares about their patients. The office itself is clean, organized, and has a really positive, comfortable atmosphere. If you’re considering braces for your child (or yourself), I can’t recommend Clocktower Orthodontics enough. They truly go above and beyond to make the experience easy and stress-free.
Fantastic experience: They are really nice here and always make it a really comfortable environment for you. the wait time is hardly ever more than 5 minutes and they are flexible if you are running late.
Negative experience: Not happy couldn’t get a appointment sooner to get a glue spot my permanent retainer fell and the first appointment was more then a week out in that time my teeth moved so much wish they had took the time to make a space for that appointment
Fantastic experience: Amy and Steven were great help, very welcoming, and it is a very lively establishment.

Fantastic experience: We have had the best experience at Clock Tower Orthodontics! We’ve been privileged to meet with Amy a few times now. Amy is warm, kind, personable and professional. She advocates for both the patient and the doctor and is the perfect person to discuss all scenarios for treatment. She is happy to answer endless questions and will do it with patience and a smile. We have all the confidence moving forward with Dr Short, Amy, and the rest of the staff!
Fantastic experience: I have been on my teeth journey for YEARS with these guys! With every up and down they help and support me to the best of their abilities. They get me in quickly and regularly. I officially got my braces off and they still continue to check in on my progress. The costumer service is wonderful, everyone is so kind. Love these guys!
Fantastic experience: I love this place! I am on my 3rd kiddo through the guys and they have always been a joy to work with. Great staff, and clean environment. We have always felt welcome at either office we visit. Highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: We absolutely love this orthodontist office! Dr.Short and his entire team are very kind and welcoming. Ashley was wonderful to work with as I was scheduling several appointments. Amy was so incredible as she guided us through the new patient process explaining everything thoroughly. Really enjoyed how Steven was so patient and funny as my son was getting his braces put on. He put us both at ease!
Fantastic experience: Amy was amazing and made sure I understood everything. Walked me through all I needed to know and was patient with me as it was my first time there. Everyone is so nice and makes sure you know what’s going on and thorough with instructions and what they were doing.
Fantastic experience: Clock Tower Orthodontics has been awesome for our family! Our kids are at that age where they need braces, and Dr. Short and his team have been super friendly and easy to work with. Amy has been a huge help during our consultations, answering all our questions and making sure we understand everything. The assistants are fantastic too—knowledgeable, quick, and efficient, which makes appointments a breeze. We’ve had nothing but good experiences here, and we definitely recommend them!

Fantastic experience: I recently brought my two daughters to Clock Tower Orthodontics to inquire about braces, and we had such a positive experience! Amy, the treatment coordinator, was incredibly nice and helpful, guiding us through the process and answering all of our questions. She made sure we felt comfortable and understood everything. Marisa, the dental assistant, took my daughters' photos and was equally professional and kind, making the whole visit a breeze. The entire staff was friendly and professional. I highly recommend them for anyone considering orthodontic care!
Fantastic experience: I’m on my third child with Clocktower. Always respectful and quick. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I came to Clocktower Orthodontics for retreat i was not happy with the work from my previous office. I had my braces put on a couple weeks ago, Steven was so nice and explained everything very well. Dr. Short was so nice and cares about his patients. I highly recommend this office.
Fantastic experience: Steven one of the workers, the best and always patient
Positive experience: Everything was great - initially. No long drawn out consultations with multiple return trips to do this and do that…. Went in with an issue and came out with braces and a plan! Excellent. Now for the 20 minutes my husband spent going over insurance information and confirming who was primary and secondary you wouldn’t expect we would be spending HOURS on the phone trying to fix their claim submission mistakes. Normally it wouldn’t be a huge deal but on top of a death in the family we didn’t have the time or patience to be sorting out what we went over with them in DETAIL in the beginning. They also put it on us to call and sort out when we told them the correct order (that they didn’t follow) in the beginning. Thank goodness for caring insurance agents who were willing to take that off my plate. Not looking forward to 2 more years of having to deal with their billing issues and claim mistakes.
Fantastic experience: Everyone at Clock Tower is AMAZING, we've never had a bad experience.
Fantastic experience: Best Orthodontics in Idaho!
Fantastic experience: just got my braces off after nearly 4 years and i’m super happy with how my teeth turned out. everyone is so so kind here and they’re just great, would definitely recommend
Fantastic experience: I had braces for about 3 years and despite what others have said I did not struggle with them, I loved those 3 years I had with braces. I got them taken off in 2016 I believe and I get so many compliments on my smile. I feel confident and content. On Monday I went to Gentle Dental Care North and they said I had beautiful teeth and I told them I went to Clock Tower Orthodontics and they said normally they have complaints but they saw nothing wrong with my smile. So thank you :) would definitely recommend Clock Tower Ortho. !
