Love everything about this practice. Doctors are amazing and the staff is absolutely the best. Hands down the best ortho in Austin.

Over the fourth of July weekend one of the wires broke in my permanent retainer. Unfortunately, the on call doc (from another office) didn’t answer my calls. I texted Dr. Gil. Even though she was off and away with family, she drove into Austin and took care of the broken wire.

Where to even begin! I came to Dr. Becher/Dr. Gil as an adult patient looking for Invisalign before my wedding. Dr. Becher listened to my concerns and thoroughly went over my options with me during my first appointment. Every appointment since then has been top-notch!

Dr Becher has been amazing for us. She was conservative in my son’s treatment and did not rush to get braces on him before she felt his teeth were ready, which meant less time in braces overall, and ultimately a smaller price tag.

Friendly staff. Due to TMJ structural issues, Dr. Becher didn’t feel comfortable starting treatment without me seeing an outside doctor first. Which is great! Any other dentist or orthodontist would have tried to sell me on a treatment plan, regardless of if it was right. She honestly cares about the right approach, even if it isn’t hers.

Doctor and staff are amazing! They are always so positive and kind. I transferred in as a patient and they were so accommodating. They sing and give you a gift when you take you braces off. It was such a memorable experience.

My 8 yr old came in for an evaluation for dental work. He was a little nervous and didn’t know what to expect. Dr Becher and her staff carefully communicated the process and answered all of my son’s questions. He became comfortable very quickly.
