What Makes Us Different?
You could go to any orthodontist. Here's why families across Gilbert and the East Valley specifically choose Dr. Larson — and why they tell their friends.
Traditional Orthodontics Reacts.
Dr. Larson Plans.
Most orthodontists place generic brackets, then adjust every 4–6 weeks based on how teeth are moving. It's a reactive process — and it's why treatment takes 18–24 months and requires dozens of appointments.
Dr. Larson does it differently. He designs your entire treatment on a computer first — mapping every tooth movement to 0.05mm precision. Then custom brackets are manufactured specifically for your teeth. When they go on, they're already programmed to move your teeth exactly where they need to go.
The result? Fewer appointments. Faster treatment. More predictable results. And a much better experience for your whole family.
Six Reasons Families Choose Larson
Every one of these is a real, tangible benefit that affects your time, your wallet, and your results.
All-Digital from Day One
Every case begins with a 3D digital scan — no messy impressions, no guesswork. Dr. Larson designs your smile on a computer before a single bracket is placed. You can see your projected result before treatment even starts.
Fewer Appointments
Because treatment is planned precisely and executed with custom brackets, your teeth move along the planned path efficiently. No reactive adjustments. No unnecessary visits. Just progress — every time you come in.
Faster Treatment
Custom-fabricated brackets fit your tooth anatomy perfectly, which means teeth move more efficiently. Clinical studies show LightForce treatment finishes up to 45% faster than traditional braces — that's months off your timeline.
Remote Monitoring
Between appointments, you use the Grin app to take photos of your teeth from home. Dr. Larson reviews them digitally and only asks you to come in when something actually needs attention. Your schedule stays yours.
Board-Certified Expert
Dr. Larson is board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics — a distinction a distinction that sets him apart — not all orthodontists pursue it. It means he's been independently evaluated against the highest standards in the specialty.
Same Price, Better Technology
At most practices, you pay a premium for clear aligners. At Larson, braces and aligners cost the same. We believe the best technology should be available to every patient — not just those willing to pay extra for it.
