Why Choose Our Orthodontic Practice?

Choosing the right provider for your smile is a significant decision. At the office of Dr. Matthew Molitor, we provide more than just cosmetic improvements; we deliver specialized, health-focused orthodontic care designed to last a lifetime.

Specialized Orthodontic Expertise

Dr. Matthew Molitor is a Board-Certified Orthodontist and a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. Unlike general dental offices, our practice is dedicated exclusively to orthodontics. Dr. Molitor’s extensive training, including a three-year residency and a Master of Science degree, has given him mastery of the intricate mechanics of controlled tooth movement and jaw alignment.

Why Seeing an Orthodontic Specialist Matters

Today, many general dentists offer orthodontic services like Invisalign® after taking short weekend courses. While this may seem convenient, it often lacks the depth of specialized training required to handle the biological complexities of moving teeth through bone.

The Risks of Inexperienced Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry for a reason. Inexperienced treatment can lead to more than just “crooked teeth.” Improperly managed cases can result in root damage, gum recession, or bite misalignments that cause chronic jaw pain and premature tooth wear.

Correcting Cases That Didn’t Go As Planned

We frequently see “rescue cases,” patients who started treatment elsewhere only to find their results were unstable or their bite felt “off.” Dr. Molitor specializes in taking over these complex situations, correcting the underlying issues, and finally giving patients the healthy, functional results they expected the first time.

Experience with Complex Orthodontic Cases

Our office is a destination for complex cases that require a higher level of clinical precision. Whether it is severe overcrowding, impacted teeth, or significant jaw misalignment, Dr. Molitor has the expertise to navigate challenges that other providers might shy away from.

Comprehensive Orthodontic Treatment Options

We utilize the latest technology to ensure your treatment is efficient and effective. Our services include:

• Traditional Braces: Highly effective for precise tooth movement in complex cases.
• Invisalign: Clear aligner therapy planned with a specialist’s eye for functional bite correction.
• Preventative Teeth Alignment: Early intervention to guide jaw growth and permanent tooth eruption.
• Retainers & Post-Treatment Care: Custom solutions to ensure your new smile stays in place forever.

Orthodontics Is About More Than Just Straight Teeth

A beautiful smile is a wonderful byproduct of our work, but our primary goal is function. Proper alignment ensures that your teeth meet correctly, reducing the risk of chipped teeth, TMJ disorders, and difficulty chewing. We focus on the “preventative” side of orthodontics to save you from restorative dental work later in life.

Investing in Your Long-Term Oral Health

Quality orthodontic care is an investment. While the initial cost of specialized treatment may seem higher than budget mail-order aligners or general dental options, it is far more cost-effective than paying to fix a failed treatment later. We provide transparent quoting because we believe in the value of doing it right the first time to protect your long-term oral health.

You aren’t just another chart at our Davis office. From your initial diagnostic appointment to the day your braces come off, Dr. Molitor and our team provide a warm, caring environment where every treatment plan is tailored to your aesthetic goals, unique facial structure, and dental health needs.
