I bought this book for the exam room of my orthodontic practice. As many of the patients are young in the 6-8 age range, there’s very little out there to bridge between their understanding of why they are at the orthodontist and what I or their parents can explain. This book is exactly that! I hear a lot of positive comments from little patients and their parents about how cute and relatable this book is. Well done!

My First Visit to the Orthodontist” is a lifesaver! As a parent, I always worry about how my kids will react to new experiences, especially something as potentially nerve-wracking as visiting an orthodontist. This book eased their anxiety by explaining every step of the process in such a fun and approachable way. The illustrations kept them engaged, and the rhyming text made it an enjoyable read. Now, my twins are excited about their upcoming appointment instead of scared. Highly recommend this for parents with young kids!

This book was a game changer for my daughter! She was nervous about her first orthodontic visit, but “My First Visit to the Orthodontist” helped her understand exactly what to expect. The story is educational without being overwhelming, and the character Miles is super relatable for kids. By the time her appointment came around, she felt confident and even excited. I’m so grateful for this resource—it’s like having a personal guide for kids!

Second Grade Teacher

As a teacher, I’m always on the lookout for books that educate and entertain at the same time, and this one does both beautifully. I included “My First Visit to the Orthodontist” in a health and wellness lesson for my second graders, and they loved it! The story opened up a great discussion about dental health, and several students shared their own experiences. It’s a wonderful resource for classrooms, though I would have loved to see a short glossary of orthodontic terms at the back for extra learning.

Many authors have written children’s books about going to the dentist —but a local first-time author from Harrisonburg is doing something a little different.
