The Redmond Family Orthodontic Clinic at the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry offers a full range of orthodontic services for children and adults. Renowned as a leader in the field, our clinic offers top-of-the-line orthodontic care. We are committed to caring for you and welcome the opportunity to work with you to create a happier and healthier smile to last a lifetime.
Located within a university-based oral health care center, our orthodontists work closely with dentists from other specialties (including pediatric dentistry, periodontics, oral surgery, implantology and restorative dentistry) to provide the most comprehensive care available.Our patients have the option of working solely with a faculty member or with a dentist training to become an orthodontic specialist. All care is supervised by a faculty orthodontist.
Our state-of-the-art clinic was designed with the patient in mind. Our friendly staff is highly trained, experienced and here to make your experience pleasant and rewarding.
Our clinic offers a variety of orthodontic services for all ages and treatment complexities. We offer all modern orthodontic techniques including Invisalign®, self-ligating brackets and clear braces. Your orthodontist will recommend the option that is best for you.
We pride ourselves in being the site of the first Invisalign® clinical trials and research. Many of our faculty members are considered the foremost experts in the world on the Invisalign® technique, have lectured nationally and internationally, and are involved in continual research on the technique.
