While general dentists excel in many areas of dentistry and provide excellent care, they are not specialists in orthodontics. Orthodontics requires advanced training, consistent practice, and expertise—just as you wouldn’t want Dr. Larson preparing crowns after stepping away from general dentistry for years. Having the tools isn’t enough; it’s about knowing how to use them effectively (like how owning a smartphone doesn’t guarantee you’re tech-savvy!). Additionally, not all orthodontists are board certified, but Dr. Larson has gone the extra mile to achieve this prestigious distinction. At our office, we combine his board-certified expertise with cutting-edge technology to create healthier, more confident smiles. We can’t wait to show you the transformative results we can deliver for you and your loved ones!
What Makes Us Different Than Other Orthodontists?
One word: Unparalleled convenience (OK that’s two words…). We rely on science, not marketing, to drive our approach. The benefits of digital orthodontics are well-documented in these peer-reviewed research articles:

Remote Monitoring
To maintain close oversight of your treatment without frequent in-person visits, we use remote orthodontic monitoring with Grin. Simply take a 30-second scan with your phone and send it to us. This allows us to monitor your progress and address any issues promptly. You can also text us through the app for quick responses to any questions that may arise. This system ensures that, despite fewer in-person visits, your treatment receives more attentive oversight.
Fewer Visits
We schedule appointments only when necessary, eliminating the need for routine visits every four weeks for simple adjustments. Our custom-manufactured brackets are tailored to your case from the start, reducing the need for frequent course corrections. Research shows that our system can result in up to 41% fewer appointments compared to traditional metal braces.

Faster Treatment Times
Digital planning minimizes the need for minor adjustments typically required with conventional metal brackets. While other orthodontic practices may have treatment times of 18-24 months, our plans often last just 12-18 months. One study found that our system can reduce treatment times by up to 44% compared to conventional metal brackets.

Transparent Pricing
Our advanced technology does not come with a higher price tag. We offer competitive pricing and flexible payment plans that fit your lifestyle. We don’t charge extra for clear aligners or clear brackets, ensuring you can choose the best option for you without worrying about additional costs.
