"A few months ago, we came to SoCo Smiles after our Pediatric Dentist, Sean from Simply Smiles Dental (who is absolutely amazing), referred us to Johnson Orthodontics for my son’s front tooth—believe it or not, it was growing up into his nose. Unfortunately, after a week of unanswered calls from Johnson Orthodontics, we were feeling stuck and frustrated.That’s when we reached out to SoCo Smiles—and I’m so glad we did. From the very first visit, the team has been nothing but welcoming and reassuring. They walked us through every step and even helped navigate the tricky insurance approvals, which was a huge relief.This is going to be a long journey for my son, but I truly feel like he’s in the best hands possible. The care, compassion, and professionalism we’ve experienced at SoCo Smiles mean everything to us. We’re incredibly grateful."

There is no way I could say enough about how great SoCo Orthodontics is. Our daughter has had the best experience with her braces, which is a huge deal as she had a lot of reservations prior to getting them put on.

"Both of my kids have gone through braces with Dr. Kofford. Both had lots of issues especially my son! He did NOT wear his retainer and his teeth have shifted! So now we are going to do invisaliners on top and clear braces on the bottom. My son was so unhappy about having to do braces again! Dr. Kofford was so great with him and made him feel better about having to put braces back on, he even suggested the clear brackets.If your child needs braces I would highly recommend SOCO orthodontics and Dr. Kofford!"
"The staff is super friendly and the facility is clean. We are always seen in a timely manner and the appointment usually only lasts 15-30 minutes. Highly recommend soco smiles orthodontics for all your smile needs!"
"You will never find a better orthodontics office! Every last member of the staff is knowledgeable, friendly, sweet and well-trained. I’ve also never seen an office run so optimally and it’s employees work so well together, having fun, aiding one another, changing roles and all without any egos. Your visits really do feel like you’re just going there to catch up with old friends. In addition: the equipment is brand new and immaculate, the spaces are more like a spa than an orthodontics office and they do incredible and fast work. What else could you possibly hope for?"
"Soco Smiles has been the best orthodontics. it was an easy in-n-out appointment whenever I went in. They are really specific on explaining what they are to do next. They also treat you really kindly and it is the best experience. The workers have been really nice and had shown guidance on what is next to happen. Even though somethings have changed since COVID, but they have worked their way around it and made sure that everything was to work out to everyone’s schedule. At Soco, it has been the easiest and humble experience."

"My dentist and several friends in the area recommended SoCo Smiles (previously known as Apple Orthodontics). We moved to area in the middle of my daughter's orthodontic treatment and needed to continue her orthodontic plan. Dr. Kofford was able to pick up where a previous orthodontist left off. My daughter just got her braces off last week and we couldn't be happier with the results. Both Dr. Kofford and Dr. Korchynskyy were determined to make her smile perfect - and they did. The office is clean, staff is friendly, and making/changing appointments is easy. I have two more kids to put through braces and will be choosing SoCo Smiles for their treatments as well."
"I've had such a great experience with SoCo Smiles Orthodontics. Every time I've gone in or needed to make an appointment they have been so great! I moved here about three years ago needing to continue my journey with braces and they made it a seamless transition! 10/10 recommend this place!!"

"Dr. Kofford and his staff have made my grandchildren very comfortable in all visits. The parents appreciate the good results from the various treatments, plus the easy financing (3 kiddos at once!). As Grandma, I furnish transportation to/from each visit and am so glad for the convenience of a Canon City office. Having the word "Smiles" in the name is more than appropriate as (1) they are creating the opportunity for beautiful smiles for their patients and (2) this group of professionals always greeted us with their own friendly smiles! SoCO Smiles Orthodontics is a remarkable group of professionals."
"A few weeks ago I notice that my front bottom teeth had been separating. Of course I freaked out since I had a lingual retainer and it wasn’t doing it’s job. After looking online for a while I came across Smiling springs orthodontics. I decided to take a chance and check them out! I’m so glad I did. Dr. Horne and his staff are very professional and kind which made this whole experience easier. Thanks to Dr. Horne I have my smile back!I definitely recommend them. You won’t be disappointed."
"Dr. Horne is awesome! Smiling Springs Orthodontics has been so wonderful!"
"everyone is amazing and so nice. ricque is glad we chose this office for her orthodontic treatment."
"I started at Kofford Orthodontics in 2015! I was not confident with my smile at all. Dr. Kofford scheduled a handful of necessary oral surgeries to guide 5 of my adult teeth into place! And the final product is amazing! Super friendly staff and overall great experience!!"
"Dr. Horn took over from Dr. Skelton. Our daughter saw Dr. Skelton and he was very good. Our son is currently seeing Dr. Horn and he is even better!Our son has anxiety and Dr. Horn has been great at working with him. Plus Dr. Horn offers all the best and most up to date treatment options.We actually brought our daughter back in to replace her old hawlley retainer (metal wire with a plastic piece on the roof of the mouth) with one of the more comfortable Invisalign style retainers."
"Dr Horne and his staff at Smiling Springs Orthodontics are absolutely amazing! I called Tuesday with a broken retainer and was offered a same day appointment!

"We just left smiling springs orthodontics and couldn't be happier. Such an amazing friendly staff. Dr. Horne was very thorough with my son's dental needs and didn't leave us with any unanswered questions. Ashley at the front desk is super sweet and we even had a few little laughs. They have a little video game section for siblings who aren't being seen by the Dr. Which is very entertaining ( even for myself 😉 ) I would highly recommend this amazing group of people."
"My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Smiling Springs Orthodontics. Being that this was our first exam, of course we didn’t know what to expect- but as soon as we arrived, we noticed a very clean and inviting office with a happy and extremely helpful receptionist. Being that I already filled out my paperwork online, Dr. Horne politely came out to introduce himself and immediately proceeded with my son’s exam. My other three children quietly waited in their kid friendly touch screen computer area, in which they also have children magazines to read as well. The exam roughly lasted an hour and he was very knowledgeable about my son’s condition and the treatment he needed. He was very dedicated in making sure we get a resolution to his issue, showing he cares. We can’t wait for our next visit."
"Smiling Springs Orthodontics has been SO amazing! Everyone in the office, including Ashley at the front desk, has been nothing but nice. The entire staff has done everything in their power to make my visits enjoyable. And I love my smile! Thanks Smiling Springs."

We visit at 5 different orthodontist trying to decide who to go with and I have no regrets. I have 2 younger children and they will definitely be a patient in the future at smiling Springs orthodontics."
"I love Koffaord Orthodontics they are always super nice and always willing to work with you"
"If I could give Dr. Horne 6 stars, I would. Getting braces is normally not something a high schooler looks forward to. However, Dr. Horne helped make the process confortable and easy. I enjoyed conversing with him and his staff. Dr. Horne went out of his way to accommodate my personal needs and crazy schedule countless times. Once he came in early just so I could have my adjustment. He really cared about me, my life, and my health. If there was ever a problem, he helped me through it and never failed to get it solved. His staff is very friendly and they all are very good at what they do. Today I have a smile that I am proud of. I could not have had a better experience. I highly recommend him to anyone considering orthodontic treatment. Thank you Dr. Horne!"
"Dr. Kofford and the staff at Kofford Orthodontics have provided our daughter with a fabulous experience. Ana is about to get her braces off and they have walked her through the whole process from beginning to end. Affordable and thorough. Thank you guys!"
"I have known Dr. Horne for several years. Working closely together during our training, I have developed a personal relationship with him. I highly encourage patients to visit him for their orthodontic treatment."
"My father taught orthodontics at UCLA for 35 years so I am very select when I look for a dentist of any kind, and these are the best around. My dad even gave me a definite thumbs up on the work we had done at Apple Orthodontix. We LOVE Apple Orthodontix in Colorado Springs! Both dentists are really good but we mostly interacted with Dr. Kofford. He was wonderful! Since going here, my son is now determined to be an orthodontist when he grows up. Both doctors are very knowledgable and experienced. They went the extra mile and we loved them for it. We have now moved out of state but we will definitely go back to them if we return to the area. We would refer anyone we know to them without reservation. The staff is super nice and the facilities are beautiful. Very bright and always clean. My kids just loved them and they also loved that the office is next door to an ice cream store."
"I highly recommend Smiling Springs Orthodontics! I wasnt happy at all to know i was going to need braces but Dr. Horne made me feel more confident throughout the process and provided me with several options that better fit my needs. I also believe this place to be more affordable than other orthodontists. Great Place, with Great People!"
"Kofford orthodontics is an excellent place. Everyone is so friendly, and helpful. We love it."
"My daughter received wonderful care at Kofford Orthodontics and her teeth look amazing!!! Thank you to the entire staff for providing good customer service and overall for caring."
"I received a referral to Apple Orthodontix from from my dentist when I expressed interest in getting adult braces. I had braces as a child, but due to time and lack or proper retainer wear, I felt I could improve my smile and dental health with another orthodontic treatment.Dr. Taloumis and Dr. Kofford were both great to work with. What really impressed me also was how friendly and knowledgeable their staff is. From the receptionist to orthodontic assistants, they have a really good team supporting them. Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Children there always seem at ease, which is paramount for a medical office. When my two young ones are old enough for braces I will definitely be bringing them here if necessary.All in all, I have completed my treatment and I could not be more thrilled with my new smile! It is easier to take care of my teeth and from a cosmetic standpoint it looks even better than I had hoped."
"This is the place to go to get great service for any orthodontic needs! Dr. K and Dr. T are both very professional and great with kids of any ages. They worked on all three of my boys over the past two years and we have gotten excellent results. The office staff is super friendly and always helpful with appointments. They even offer easy financing options and payment plans. I would highly recommend Apple Orthodontics to anyone."
"I absolutely love going to Skelton Orthodontics! The staff members are extremely nice and they help give information about your teeth, braces, retainers, etc. It's like a family business and everyone is super friendly. They will align your teeth and give you a better, bigger, brighter smile. They will take good care of your teeth. They are very encouraging and like to motivate their patients to do better with their teeth. For example: they have a rewards system where you can earn points for taking care of your teeth on your own or doing activities and challenges that they give you. This makes caring for your teeth much more fun and motivating. I guarantee that you won't regret going to Skelton Orthodontics."
"Skelton Orthodontics is by far the best place for children with braces, retainers, etc. They're kid friendly and are good about motivating kids to keep up with cleaning their teeth."
"So far, this has been a great orthodontics. the staff is nice and Dr. Skelton is even nicer."
"I've had the distinct pleasure of getting to know Dr. Tom Skelton and his staff really well. These people do orthodontics the way it should be done - no shortcuts, no gimmicks, no hassles. If you want the job done right, this is who you see for braces in Colorado Springs."
