I feel blessed to be an Orthodontist! I absolutely love my job I love getting to know people and laughing withmy patients. I enjoy the stories they share about their lives and adventures with me and when they tell me what they are learning in school, the accomplishments of their families, or where they have been traveling. I learn so much about the world from the conversations I have with my patients.

Orthodontics was a dream for me since I was a young boy. I had my teeth straightened by an Orthodontist and thought How do they make my teeth move like that?! and What a fun job this must be! I loved seeing the excitement of patients getting their braces off, and I still remember what it felt like to have my crooked smile that kids used to tease me about become referred to as a million dollar smile by my friends and later co-workers. I wanted to bring that joy I felt to others in hopes that it will change their lives the way it changed mine.

My education in Dentistry and Orthodontics has provided me with a strong, well-rounded foundation of knowledge and experience. On the road to becoming an orthodontist, I received the following education:

  • University of Nevada, Las Vegas; Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) Elected the Student Body Vice President, was inducted into the OKU honor society and received an award for the highest GPA in the class, published research, graduated Summa Cum Laude and the Salutatorian.
  • Orthodontics is continually evolving; throughout the year I attend meetings, seminars, conferences and lectures to stay on the forefront of orthodontic technology. I speak regularly at orthodontic meetings throughout the United States and have invented appliances and treatment techniques that have been published in Orthodontic journals and are used by orthodontists worldwide. I co-founded the worlds largest Orthodontic study group, Orthodontic Pearls, where over 7,300 orthodontists meet regularly to advance our collective knowledge and understanding of the latest technologies and treatment techniques for advanced and challenging orthodontic cases. My patients deserve the best, and continuing education allows me to provide my patients with more options and better results.

    I am blessed to be part of the wonderful community of Glendale/Peoria, and I believe strongly in giving back to those who have given so much to me over the years. I donate time to my church, community projects, dental mission trips, and regularly educate the community about dental care. Caring for others, and giving back to the community, is important to me.

    Even when I am away from the practice, I am still surrounded by happy, bright smiles! I enjoy spending most of my free time with my wonderful family. When Im not caring for my patients, youll find me with my wife and kids, playing guitar for CCV, or pursuing other fun hobbies like piano, running, or CrossFit.

    My wife, Dr. Morghan Teeters, is a pediatric dentist in Peoria. Together, we can plan the best for our patients using the knowledge of both pediatric dentistry and orthodontics, which are two specialties that work hand-in-hand to deliver the best care possible.

    Dr. Larry Davis received his dental degree from the University of Tennessee. He then completed a pediatric dental residency and a Masters thesis from the same school. He served as the Chief of Pediatric Dentistry in the U.S. Navy, achieving the rank of Lieutenant Commander.

    Following his naval career, Dr. Davis attended Loyola University, where he earned his advanced training in orthodontics, making him the first dentist in Arizona to hold specialty degrees in both Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics. Dr. Davis is a leader in preventive and early treatment orthodontics and loves working with our younger patients.

    Dr. Davis and his wife Donna have four children; their youngest child, Dr. Morghan Teeters, is also a Pediatric Dentist in Peoria. In addition to family activities, Dr. Davis is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys skiing, hiking and scuba diving. He also enjoys flying his private airplane and he holds a multi-engine/instrument rating.

    I have enjoyed many years of treating precious patients and creating Smiles, which create Futures. Looking back, I feel more blessed than I deserve. Looking forward, I find the opportunity to continue that privilege, today, even more satisfying. I am so fortunate to be working in such a beautiful office, with an excellent staff and highly competent and professional colleagues.

    I grew up in Clovis, New Mexico where I practiced Orthodontics after graduation. In 1972 I moved to Phoenix and practiced orthodontics as a private practitioner until 1997, when I retired. Being very unsatisfied with my absence from orthodontics, (I failed retirement) I returned to practice in 1999. My wife, Camille, and I will celebrate our 40th anniversary in 2015. We are blessed to have 5 children and 9 grandchildren.

    Here at Affiliated Orthodontics, our talented staff brings a combination of formal dental education, clinical experience and interpersonal skills in caring for our patients. We love working with each patient and helping them achieve the smile of their dreams.

    I visited 3 different Orthodontists and finally found the most genuine, honest, and caring location. Affiliated took the time to listen and didn't try to treat me for work I didn't need. So many unethical dentists but this is not one of them! Great place to get your smile right.

    I would give 10 if it was available. I have taken my 10 year old to several dentist and orthodontist over the years and we were always brushed off and seemed like my daughter's and I's concerns weren't important, Angela was wonderful with responses and compassion, she even got us seen with a same day visit. Dr. Teeters was so caring and nice that my daughter felt more relaxed at a dental visit than I have seen since she was newly going as a toddler. Thank you so much for your support and helping when we felt at a loss. Highly recommend!

    This office was wonderful from start to finish, but Tammy was extremely helpful and just an all around pleasant person on top of that. Very informative, and she made the whole process feel streamlined and easy to understand for my 12 year old son.

    This place is AWESOME! My son was very hesitant about getting braces, but everyone in the office really did a good job of making him feel like the most important patient in the room. Angie was phenomenal walking us through the process and explaining the treatment program, and Dr. Teeters really did a great job of making sure my son was comfortable. Would definitely recommend utilising them for their services to any parents with young children who might be scared of getting braces.

    My daughter has been going to Affiliated Orthodontics-Drs. Dr Davis, Dr Womack and Dr Teeters since she was a little girl. Her teeth were really bad she had to wear an expander for a few years then braces for a few more years that's how bad her teeth were. She has a beautiful smile now. My daughter was always excited to go to her visits as they let her pick out any color she wanted for rubber bands , pick her style of braces which she picked hearts and then let her design her retainer, They made it a fun personalized experience for her. Thank you Affiliated Orthodontics for the wonderful care and the great experience. I highly recommend these doctors.

    Dr Teeters was amazing! Sere McBean was the best orthodontic assistant while my wife was there. My wife can't stop smiling at strangers and telling them "look at my teeth I just got my braces off" so happy with all they did. Braces was the best decision ever!! So so happy!

    From our initial consultation through braces coming off- The staff, Drs and Ortho Assistants at Affiliated Orthodontics made us feel welcome and helped us to understand every part of the process - from the work king with insurance to developing a plan, from payment structured to "why they need braces to how to care for the teeth during and after braces" They really involved the kids in the journey and helped both of our girls grow into young women with great teeth!!
