Bringing Smiles to the Whole Hott Family

Katie and her family live on a cattle farm in West Virginia, but when it came time for her son Wyatt’s orthodontic treatment, they didn’t mind making the trip to Harrisonburg. “It’s worth it because you know that you’re getting quality care; you’re getting someone who puts his whole heart into his job.”

They first heard about Dr. Weiler through their family dentist. After Wyatt’s consultation, he joined our Smile Club for growth monitoring during the first year. This allowed Dr. Weiler to track Wyatt’s progress and work with the family to determine the perfect timing to begin his orthodontic treatment. One year later, Wyatt started his braces treatment, and the transformation was more than just physical. “There’s been a big shift in Wyatt’s confidence; he likes to smile more. He’ll look in the mirror like, “Look how straight my teeth are’!” For Katie, seeing her son’s confidence grow with every visit made every mile worth it. “Just to see him smile and to have that confidence is worth driving over the mountain.”

But the journey didn’t stop with Wyatt. During one of their visits, Katie learned about the Parents Program at Weiler Orthodontics. “Within the folder that you get at the consultation, there is something called the Parents Program, where it says that parents deserve to smile too.” Like many parents, Katie had always put her children first, but with the encouragement of Dr. Weiler and his team, she realized she didn’t have to wait until her kids were grown to prioritize her own smile. Katie decided to get braces herself, taking advantage of our flexible orthodontic financing program with very low monthly payments and low down payments that made it possible to wrap her care into the family’s plan.

Starting treatment together turned out to be a special experience for both mother and son. “It’s been fun to be able to do that with my son, and for him to know that he’s kind of not alone.” Whether you’re considering braces or Invisalign, Weiler Orthodontics offers options for every member of the family, removing barriers that had kept Katie waiting for years.

Katie’s gratitude for Dr. Weiler and his team is unmistakable. “I have so much gratitude for Dr. Weiler and so much respect for him and all that he does for all of his patients. He really is a selfless person who takes a lot of pride in his work. He really wants to see his patients succeed.” Every visit, the staff made them feel like more than just patients. “When you come here, we treat you like family. You join the Weiler Orthodontics family, and so we welcome you to come as a family, whether or not they get treatment. We love making orthodontic treatment a family affair.”

Now, both Katie and Wyatt share not only straighter smiles but also a new sense of confidence. “I would recommend him to anyone. The staff is amazing. You can feel the love as soon as you go in, and it was the right fit for us.”
