Dr.Brian W. Baird is an orthodontist. This means that in addition to four years of dental school, he studied for two more years at an accredited orthodontic program to earn his certificate in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics to serve you better. Dr. Baird has assembled a hard-working, caring team that will help you every step of the way to your new smile, from your first phone call until your braces come off!
Dr. Baird has enjoyed working with families in the Salt Lake Valley since 1999. Our patients come from many communities in the Salt Lake Valley, including West Jordan, South Jordan, Riverton, Herriman, Taylorsville, West Valley, Kearns, Midvale, Sandy and Draper. We are conveniently located in West Jordan on 8822 South Redwood Road #S101 and in Draper at 12226 South 1000 East #6. Check the locations page for maps.
Although braces are still the most common method to align teeth and improve bite relationships, orthodontic options have changed over the past few years. New technologies are available including invisalign and clear brackets, which make orthodontic treatment less visible. These options have made orthodontic treatment more appealing to many adult patients in our practice. Please check through this website, especially the FAQ section, to find answers to your questions about orthodontics and about how our office works. And look at the beautiful smiles of some of our patients who have finished their orthodontic treatment.
We love our patients and their families. We are excited to meet you and we invite you to visit one of our offices to meet Dr. Baird and his team. Let us help you find that incredible smile you’ve been dreaming about!
Dr. Brian W. BairdI was raised 60 miles north of the Salt Lake Valley in Brigham City. I first became interested in orthodontics when I had braces as a senior in high school. Braces were pretty different back then, I had huge bands wrapped around every tooth, including the front. We tend to use lighter forces now days, too. I attended Utah State University in Logan. I earned my DDS degree at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond, Virginia, graduating Magna Cum Laude.
I continued my education at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Lincoln, Nebraska, earning my certificate of specialty in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics and an MS degree in oral biology. The research for my masters thesis has been published in The American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics.
I love sports, music, hiking, traveling, photography, and doing anything with my family. I currently play saxophone with Larry Smith's Kicks Band in Logan (we play awesome big band music). I have surprised myself by developing an affinity for running and skiing (but I'm pretty wimpy). My wife and I are the parents of three awesome girls.
I enjoy working with our patients. I love working with the kids, and hope the best for them as they move on in life- college, working, marriage, etc.I like the adults, too. I hope everyone has a good life! It is a privilege for me to meet and try to serve our patients the best possible way.

Dr. Baird has been my orthodontist since about 2004. I was a teenager then, and have stayed with him since. Now that my girls are getting old enough, they will start seeing him as well! Dr Baird is patient, kind, and so good with kids and teens. He is very thorough, and very upfront about costs and insurance. Also, replacement retainers are very fair priced from him, even if you didn't get your braces done there.

I went to 3 different orthodontists and Dr. Baird took the most time and talked about different options with me. I highly recommend him for orthodontic work and trust his judgement. He also happened be a little cheaper than other orthodontists, gave me a discount on a couple things. Their office staff is always so friendly and accommodating!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. We have had two of our children's teeth made perfectly straight with the help of Dr. Baird and his team. I love to recommend them anytime I hear of someone looking for a good orthodontist.
