Meet Dr. Nathan Larson
Board-certified orthodontist, digital technology pioneer, and the doctor Gilbert families trust most.
The Doctor You'll Wish You Found Sooner
If you're like most parents, you've already visited a few orthodontists. You've heard the same pitch, seen the same brochures, and left with a quote but not much confidence. Then you found Dr. Larson — and something felt different.
Dr. Nathan Larson is board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics — a distinction that a distinction that sets him apart — not all orthodontists pursue it. It's not just a credential. It's proof that he holds himself to a higher standard, even when no one's requiring it.
After completing his orthodontic residency and serving as orthodontist in the U.S. Air Force, Dr. Larson pursued advanced training in digital orthodontics internationally. He returned to Gilbert with one mission: build the most advanced, most patient-friendly orthodontic practice in the East Valley.

His Digital Workflow Is Why Patients Choose Him
Here's what most parents don't realize: the orthodontist's technology directly affects how long your child wears braces, how many appointments you have to schedule, and how predictable the final result is.
Dr. Larson doesn't just use digital tools — he built his entire practice around them. Every case starts with a 3D digital scan. He designs your smile on a computer before a single bracket is placed. Then custom brackets are manufactured specifically for your teeth.
The result? Treatments that finish up to 45% faster, require 41% fewer appointments, and deliver results that are more precise than anything traditional orthodontics can offer. For busy families, that's not a small thing — that's everything.
A Doctor Who Actually Cares
Dr. Larson grew up in a small town where everyone knew their doctor by name. That's the kind of practice he set out to build. He knows his patients. He remembers their goals. He celebrates their results.
Outside the office, Dr. Larson is a husband and father. He coaches youth sports, volunteers in the community, and genuinely believes that a great smile can change a kid's confidence — and a parent's peace of mind.
When you bring your family to Larson Family Orthodontics, you're not a number. You're a neighbor.
