About Owl Orthodontics

Owl Orthodontics is a dental practice on Hopkins Road in Williamsville, New York. Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into alignment, handling complex bite corrections and significant crowding more predictably than removable alternatives. Treatment commonly runs one to three years, with a retainer worn afterward to hold the result.

Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.

Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.

Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.

Owl Orthodontics is open Monday through Friday. Contact the practice through this page to confirm current appointment times before travelling.
What services does Owl Orthodontics offer?
Listed services at Owl Orthodontics include Braces. The full list is shown on this page.
What age is best for braces?
Assessment around age seven is often suggested so developing problems can be spotted, though treatment itself usually starts later once enough adult teeth are through. Adults can be treated at any age provided the gums and bone are healthy.
Will I need a retainer after braces?
Yes, and indefinitely in some form. Teeth have a persistent tendency to drift back toward their original positions, and retainers are what prevent years of treatment from gradually undoing itself.
Is it normal for teeth to be sensitive to cold?
Mild, brief sensitivity is common and often relates to exposed root surfaces or worn enamel. Sensitivity that lingers after the cold is removed is more significant and worth having examined, as it can indicate the nerve is involved.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Walla and the entire team at Owl Orthodontics. From the very first visit, they treat you like family — not just a patient in a chair. Everyone there genuinely gets to know you, laughs with you, and makes you feel completely comfortable every single visit. Dr. Walla's precision and craftsmanship are on a completely different level. You can tell he brings real skill and expertise to every step of treatment, carefully planning each phase to get the best possible result. Throughout my entire treatment, he and his team kept me fully informed about what was happening and what to expect next, so I never once felt lost or unsure about my progress. The end result speaks for itself: a smile I'm genuinely confident in, crafted with real expertise and care. If you're in the Western New York area, there is no other place you should go for orthodontic treatment. You will just never get this quality anywhere else. Thank you, Dr. Walla and team, for everything!

I’ve liked Dr. Walla from day one. He’s confident and decisive in what he does, and he genuinely works hard – he personally sees patients across all locations, which I really respect. Over the past 3 years, I don’t remember him ever canceling an appointment, except once when he was sick – and even then, the staff handled it really well and got me rescheduled immediately. He’s got a sense of humor – at least, I enjoy his sarcasm! And whenever I’ve had concerns about my braces, I’ve always brought them up during checkups. He listens and makes adjustments accordingly – I really appreciate that. Each visit lasted about 30 minutes to an hour. And after 2.5 years, my teeth are straight – the result couldn’t be better. I honestly just like the vibe there. That said, I’m not trying to convince anyone to choose this practice. For any orthodontic office, you really need to go in, talk to them, and see where you feel most comfortable – because you’ll be spending nearly 3 years there, visiting about 10 times a year. That’s more often than I see my own relatives! One honest note: you might not always love every decision Dr. Walla makes – because, let’s face it, you care a lot about your teeth. But you can always talk it through with him openly and without any hassle. Wherever you choose, just remember – you’ll be with them for 3 years, so make sure it feels right for you.

🐐 company! Owl Orthodontics was fantastic and so easy to work with. Dr. Walla made every visit fast, seamless and efficient. The staff were very friendly and accommodating to my schedule as well. My road was long and had many hurdles after years of neglect and not having braces as a child but they treated me no differently and got me ship shape. I followed his insight directly as far as what steps to take in preparation. One of which involved getting a perfectly healthy tooth pulled for the sake of straightening my lower teeth. (Very crowded) and while I was very nervous about that at first, it worked out exactly how he said it would. True professional in his craft over there and easy to talk to and ask questions. 💪 I’ll be sending donuts or something. Couldn’t be happier.

Good orthodontics experience, usually accommodating and time effiencent. However lacks privacy...you can see every patient from the waiting room, you can hear everyone's personal business when they go to check out. So as long as you do not care about privacy, they are a great place for Ortho care.

As a teenage girl I have been to many orthodontists that said I need some of my teeth removed for me to get a perfect smile. I thought my hopes were over until I met Owl Orthodontics. My past Orthodontists made me cry during appointments because of the pain however, Owl Orthodontists did everything very gently I had less pain, fast results, and everyone working there is very positive unlike my previous experiences. With Owl Orthodontics I have finally achieved a perfect smile and even better results then I had imagined. Thank you very much for your service. I hope this review helps newer customers to give Owl Orthodontics a try!

If I could give Dr. Walla and the Owl Orthodontics Team 6 out of 5 stars, I would. I cannot thank you them enough. I had a long, complicated case; my treatment is finally complete now and I had to share my experience in case it could be helpful. For me, feeling assured that I was receiving the best dental care available was paramount because of my complicated case. I had an invisalign/braces combo because of a cross bite. A fragile tooth that was weak from bone loss, so any movement that occurred was causing worry. Dr. Walla and his team exceeded my expectations time and time again. Going above and beyond for me so many times. He is an outstanding Orthodontist, the level of attention/care that he provides and the concern that he has for his patients is second to none. I've witnessed how engaged he is with other patients and their issues. I can't say enough good things about Owl Orthodontics and how much of an impact they have made in my life. Dr. Walla stuck it out with me through the entire long-winded process which was more than I expected. My teeth look amazing now and I am so appreciative to him and his incredible team. Thank you!!!!

I was referred to this dental scam by a dentist to straighten my teeth, so I thought they were reputable. I had a "consultation" in a very nice back office with lots of smiling staff. Walla stated braces could not help me and I needed jaw surgies AND THEN braces. Walla needed to consult with my primary and sleep medicine doctors, make molds, etc and I need to "put down $500." I did so. Then for 6 months I had to endure disrespect before I realized it was a "not a valid business model," I went to a better dental office, got ONLY braces (that were much cheaper), and my teeth are now fixed. Highlights: *Walla told to me as part of the consultation I had go to a specific surgeon, twice, and pay out of pocket. I was told this guy is the only maxiofacial surgeon in Buffalo (he is not). Surgeon told me I needed THREE jaw surgeries, and then braces, but would not tell me why braces would not work alone. *Zoom appointment with Walla where he did not show up. *Walla misunderstanding a dozen times thinking I wanted surgeries to "get me off CPAP machine" instead of listening when I said that I only wanted my teeth aligned. *Walla "conviently misrepresenting the truth" saying my sleep medicine provider stated I needed the surgeries. The provider later told me "I told him your sleep apnea is fine, you dont need surgeries, and you just need your teeth aligned." *Walla delaying and delaying and delaying and needing more information and more calls with my doctors and then FINALLY stating I NEEDED all these treatments because braces alone will not help, and it will cost $8000, plus copay for surgeries, and jaw being wired shut for months (twice). * For 6 months refusing to explain why braces alone would not work, as I asked repeatedly. ...good luck...
