Arizona Orthodontic Studio

#8, 5225, North 19th Avenue, Alhambra, Phoenix, Arizona

Closed · Opens tomorrow at 8:30 AM

Orthodontics sits alongside Braces and Invisalign on this Phoenix clinic's documented service list.

More about orthodontics at this clinic

Arizona Orthodontic Studio on North 19th Avenue runs a modern orthodontic practice in the Alhambra section of central Phoenix. Services span traditional metal braces, ceramic braces for less-visible alignment work, Invisalign clear-aligner cases across teen and adult age ranges, and retainer maintenance after active treatment. The practice also handles adult orthodontic cases with clear-aligner emphasis, which fits adults who skipped braces as kids or are managing relapse from prior treatment. If you're an adult considering Invisalign for the first time and want a modern practice that takes adult cases seriously rather than treating them as an afterthought, this is a sensible practice to consult. Pricing fits the standard Phoenix orthodontic range, with monthly payment plans typical for both braces and Invisalign cases. It suits adult Invisalign cases as a primary fit, and works well for teens whose families want a practice comfortable with both fixed and removable appliance options rather than defaulting to one approach without discussion.

More about orthodontics at this clinic

Arizona Orthodontic Centers on North 108th Avenue runs a family orthodontic practice in Maryvale Village, in the west-Phoenix residential corridor. Services span traditional metal braces, ceramic braces for less-visible alignment, Invisalign clear-aligner cases for teens and adults, and post-treatment retention with retainers. The practice also handles early-intervention orthodontics for kids who need pre-teen alignment work to manage eruption patterns before permanent teeth fully come in. If your kid's general dentist has flagged crowding or alignment issues, this is the kind of orthodontic practice that handles those west-Phoenix cases day to day. Pricing fits the standard Phoenix orthodontic range, with monthly payment plans typical for both braces and Invisalign cases — useful given orthodontic treatment's stretch across nearly two years for most patients. Patients searching for an orthodontist in Phoenix, kids braces in Phoenix, or affordable braces in Phoenix, AZ frequently consult family orthodontic practices like this one when planning treatment for one or more kids at the same time. It suits families with multiple children needing alignment work over several years, and works for adults considering Invisalign as a first orthodontic case in adulthood. First visits typically begin with imaging, photographs, and a comprehensive orthodontic consultation covering treatment options, projected duration, and full cost — usually scheduled before any active treatment begins.

The practice also handles teen Invisalign cases with clear-aligner systems specifically designed for younger patients whose compliance pattern fits a removable rather than fixed appliance.

Pricing fits the standard Phoenix orthodontic range, with monthly payment plans typical for both braces and Invisalign cases. It suits families with kids approaching orthodontic age, and works well for adults considering Invisalign as a discreet alignment option for a first-time orthodontic case rather than visible braces in adulthood.

More about orthodontics at this clinic

Jungle Roots Children's Dentistry & Orthodontics provides dental care on East Chandler Boulevard in the Ahwatukee Foothills Village area of Phoenix, Arizona.

Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into alignment, handling complex bite corrections and significant crowding more predictably than removable alternatives.

Read full description
Desert Dentistry Phoenix is located on East Chandler Boulevard in the southern reaches of Phoenix, offering a wide and varied menu that spans preventive, restorative, cosmetic, and surgical care. The breadth here makes it a strong fit for patients with extensive or long-deferred dental needs who would rather keep their treatment with a single, familiar team than be sent from office to office. General dentistry forms the everyday foundation, with dental cleanings, exams, and dental X-rays supporting diagnosis and prevention. From there the practice reaches deep into restorative work, with dental crowns, bridges, dental implants, and full-mouth rehabilitation for patients rebuilding damaged, worn, or missing teeth. Root canal treatment addresses infected or painful teeth, gum disease treatment and gum grafting tend to the health and structure of the gums, and extractions handle teeth beyond saving, giving the practice a comprehensive restorative and periodontal program. On the cosmetic and alignment side, Desert Dentistry offers teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental bonding, and complete smile makeovers, along with both Invisalign and traditional braces for patients pursuing a straighter, brighter smile. The combination means a single patient can address gum health, missing teeth, alignment, and aesthetics with the same team, and the practice keeps affordability in view so more of this work stays within reach. For patients who feel anxious in the chair, sedation dentistry is available to make longer or more involved appointments more comfortable, a meaningful option given the depth of treatment this office provides. Emergency dentistry rounds out the offering, so sudden pain, a broken tooth, or a needed extraction can be handled promptly. Taken together, the practice's reach across preventive, restorative, periodontal, surgical, cosmetic, orthodontic, and sedation care makes Desert Dentistry Phoenix a comprehensive destination for patients on East Chandler Boulevard facing complex needs. For Phoenix patients facing extensive or long-deferred needs, the chance to manage gum health, missing teeth, alignment, and aesthetics with one comfortable, affordable team on East Chandler Boulevard is exactly what makes this comprehensive breadth so practical and reassuring.

How to Choose a Dentist in Phoenix, Arizona

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
EditorialUpdated August 2, 2026Independently reviewed

Orthodontics in Phoenix is served by one of the largest and most diverse orthodontic markets in the Southwest — independent ABO-certified orthodontists in the Arcadia, Biltmore, and North Phoenix premium corridors, the full range of corporate orthodontic chains across the city's mid-market and cost-sensitive residential areas, and the A.T. Still University and Midwestern University orthodontic training programs that provide resident-supervised reduced-fee orthodontic care accessible to the AHCCCS-enrolled Phoenix patient. For Phoenix families comparing orthodontic options, the primary quality evaluation is the attending orthodontist's involvement in case planning and progress monitoring — the variable that distinguishes an independent specialist practice from a chain model where most clinical decisions are made by an assistant between brief doctor checks.

Smyleee evaluated Phoenix orthodontic practices on orthodontist ABO certification and credentials, attending doctor supervision model throughout active treatment, case complexity range including adult and severe malocclusion management, insurance and AHCCCS billing range, and patient outcome consistency. These ten Phoenix orthodontists are the practices the data confirmed as delivering the most reliable combination of specialist clinical quality and cost accessibility across the Southwest's largest city orthodontic market.
