At Bright Day Orthodontics, we provide a wide variety of orthodontic services to help give everyone a beautiful smile. We specialize in treating a variety of tooth and jaw alignment issues using non-surgical procedures. We will help to diagnose, prevent and treat conditions such as malocclusions, or bad bites, including if you have an overbite, underbite, open bite, gaps, or overcrowded teeth.
Bright Day Orthodontics can play a huge role in young children appearance and health. In fact, the American Association of Orthodontics recommends that an orthodontist examine children by the time they are seven years old. Yes. While baby teeth are still in their mouths. And yes, while their teeth and mouths are still developing. Your childs dentist is trained to identify bite issues at an early age and will refer a child to an orthodontist at the appropriate point in time.
To create a smile that lasts a lifetime, your child needs teeth that are straight and jaws that are aligned properly. That all begins with the baby teeth; the way they are aligned, when and how they fall out, and how much room they are allowing or not allowing for the emergence of permanent adult teeth. Thats why its a good idea to have an orthodontist exam your child while they still have their baby teeth.
While your childs teeth may look straight, there may be underlying problems with the way adult teeth may be coming in, with deep bites, open bites, and cross bites, with the relationship of the upper and lower jaw, with tooth crowding, or problems that may be occurring due to thumbsucking or other habits. Orthodontists can pinpoint these problems, even if they are subtle, and can start correcting any problems to avoid potential problems for future adult teeth. By age seven, enough permanent teeth have emerged for your orthodontist to evaluate relationships developing between teeth, jaw and bite and make sure all will continue to develop as they should.
Your child may or may not need orthodontic work. That will be determined by the examination. But no matter what, you will get the peace of mind that early detection and treatment will result in a lifelong smile for your child.

They worked magic on my kids teeth. My son more than my daughter. My son had a tooth that stuck out because he had an extra tooth that pushed it forward. They just got their braces off recently. I love the staff they are so friendly as well. I will miss going to them regularly

At first I was going to an Ortho in Farmington and Dr.Lovell looked at my braces and I switched over and I am very thankful for Bright Day and what they have done for me. Amazing and caring staff. Reasonable pricing. Totally recommend Bright Day!

I'm currently a student at The Fort, and I was nervous about going to an orthodontist I'd never been to before. I had detached one side of my permanent retainer and needed it re-glued. From the receptionist helping me to get an appointment and recommending how to deal with my broken retainer in the mean time, all the way to my actual appointment, I would have to say the staff and doctor were phenomenal. If you're looking for an orthodontist in Durango, look no further!

Dr.Lovell and his team are wonderful I could not have asked for better service he was very gentle with my daughter His assistants Maria and Ashley are super sweet and gentle. I'd give these guys a ten star if they had it and not to mention it but anybody needing their child to see a orthodontist who has Colorado Medicaid skip the worries about driving to Farmington Dr. Lovell accepts Colorado Medicaid and I highly recommend him and his team they are so gentle and they explain everything so you are not left wondering what's next like other orthodontists...

We've had such a great experience with Bright Day Orthodontics! We moved right after my son got his braces on and traveled quite a distance to continue care here. The staff always are kind, friendly, and patient. The treatment plan was much quicker than anticipated and the results were great. My son loves his smile so much more now. Thank you again for the wonderful care you provided!

Brightday was one of the best Orthodontist office I've been too! Dr. Lovell took the time to perfect my teeth. Unfortunately I got my braces off during the pandemic when masks were mandated. Now that they have relaxed the mandates, I show off his work. I love my smile so much I catch myself in the mirror to often. Maria and Ashley where the best assistants. Their chatty demeanor always made visit memorable they got to know me and I got to know them. They made me feel right at home in his new stunning office. Melanie always worked with me when I was running late and, very fortunate to alway be flexible within those 15 minutes. I recommend Dr. Lovell first to everyone that ask! I wish the best to all
