Dr. Brown was born and raised in Davis County. He attended both the University of Utah and Weber State University where he graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Spanish and Chemistry. He served a two-year mission for his church in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In college he was the coach of the cheerleading team and also taught gymnastics and Spanish for the university. He was the recipient of music, athletic, and teaching scholarships at Weber State.
Dr. Brown attended Creighton University with a state scholarship and there received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. During dental school he was on the Deans list every semester and received the Pierre Fauchard Academy Foundation scholarship for academic performance as well as the American Association of Orthodontics award for dental and clinical excellence. He was a leader in the Indian Chicano Clinic where he organized and volunteered time to provide free dental services to the less fortunate in the Spanish community. He was introduced into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Honor Society.
After dental school, Dr. Brown attended the University of Missouri at Kansas City for his Orthodontic training. He was active in clinical activities as well as research. He has researched and written several articles dealing with current clinical and practice management techniques. Dr. Brown is a memeber of the American Association of Orthodontists, Rocky Mountain Society of Orthodontists, American Dental Association, South Davis Dental Society, and the LDS Dental Society.
Dr. Brown met his wife teaching cheerleading and gymnastics clinics across the western United States. They are the proud parents of six beautiful children. He loves to sing and play the piano, ski, hike, mountain bike, golf (on good days), and exercise, but most of all, spend time with his family.
At Dr. Brown Orthodontics, every team member is dedicated to making sure you or your child not only get the healthy and beautiful smile you deserve but also that each time you walk through our doors, you are greeted with a warm and friendly face. We care greatly for each of our patients and truly enjoy the opportunity to be a part of their lives. We are here to provide you with not only a higher standard of patient care and service but also with an orthodontic family while in and after treatment.
Orthodontics is the area of dentistry concerned with the supervision, guidance and correction of the dentofacial structures. Orthodontic treatment uses braces, retainers and other appliances to correct any dentofacial abnormalities. Regular dental check-ups and orthodontic treatment are proven to be effective tools in helping establish and maintain good oral health for people of all ages.
An orthodontist is a specially trained dentist who has attended an advanced education program for a continual training period of 2 to 3 years. All members of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) have received the appropriate training.
Its never too late to have a beautiful smile! Adults should visit an orthodontist to improve the appearance of their smile and their overall dental health at any time. Some orthodontic corrections need to be made as early as 3 to 5 years of age, but ordinarily children should visit an orthodontist at the time permanent teeth begin to erupt in order to detect any deficiencies in the childs teeth formation. This is usually between 7 and 10 years of age. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children visit an orthodontist no later than age 7.
Your initial visit will give you an opportunity to meet Dr. Brown and our knowledgeable staff, who will answer any questions you may have. You will receive a complimentary clinical examination and x-rays to determine whether orthodontic treatment is necessary. If treatment is required, the doctor will go over a treatment plan as well as an estimate of the treatment duration. Your treatment coordinator will go over our flexible payment options, discuss your insurance (if applicable) and answer any additional questions that you may have. In most cases our patients are given the option to start treatment the same day as the initial examination.
Braces may be worn by both children and adults, not only to improve the attractiveness of their smile, but also because braces correct improper alignment of teeth that can lead to gum disease and early tooth loss. Left untreated, crooked teeth with irregular spacing make cleaning harder and allow cavities to more easily develop. Properly aligned teeth also make it easier to chew all types of food, and eliminate the headaches and pain caused by uneven chewing. Uneven teeth may result in weak enamel, gum problems and jaw misalignment.
Braces are lighter, more comfortable and more technologically advanced today than ever before. They come in clear and a variety of color and material choices. Ask the office staff about what options are available. Other appliances include colorful bands, elastics and retainers.
Braces exert a gentle pressure on teeth over time to straighten them. The two main components include the braces placed on the teeth and the arch wire that connects them. The brace is a specially-shaped metal or ceramic affixed to each tooth and the arch wire is bent to reflect the bite that the patient should have after treatment. The wire threads through the braces and as the wire tries to return to its original shape, it applies pressure to move the teeth.
There have been some fantastic advances in modern orthodontics to make treatment more comfortable and quicker for patients. There are now smaller, smoother braces and gentler wires which provide a continuous small force over a long period of time rather than a strong force for only a short period. Typically there is some discomfort after the braces are first put on. Over-the-counter pain relievers and a soft foods diet will help alleviate this temporary discomfort.
Orthodontic fees depend on the complexity of the orthodontic problem, the age of the patient and the estimated length of treatment. Since each patient is different, a visit to the office for a complimentary examination will allow you to get a better idea of the fee.

Best Ortho ever. My 3 kids and myself have used them. I did Invisalign and my kids traditional braces. The staff is kind, knowledgeable, and very considerate to how braces make your mouth feel. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I love Dr Brown and his wonderful staff. I could see the treatment already start working in a short period of time. The assistants are not only beautiful boys and girls, but also patient and respectful. I have witnessed them dealing with complicated or scared patients, or parents like me. I love, the treatment coordinator who explained to me the different treatment and payment options. After all, what I can say is to just go to Dr Brown office and relax. They know what they are doing! We ended up with a wonderful SMILE!

I realized I haven't reviewed this chunk of my childhood so now is as good a time as any. This place used to be amazing. Good service for braces. A few years later, I visit back for a retainer replacement due to getting a crown for a tooth. They made it for free which was great. Problem is it was made incorrectly and caused my teeth to be wonky. So I went back for an adjustment. They fit me into the schedule. I arrive. I check in. 20 mins later, they take me back to the seat. 25 mins later, they ask if I have to get going. Well, you could've asked me that 20 mins ago! I have stuff to do, work to finish, a life to live (mild sarcasm on the last one). I get that teeth people are busy and running behind is completely fine. But being more aware and transparent would've been nice. I also only found out my appointment was squished in and not a real time a lot after the 50 minute wait, so that was not handled well on the scheduling part. One more thing: masks. The staff here don't want to wear one correctly to protect their patients. My dentist has everyone wearing at least one. Extra brownie points. to my dentist team. Only Dr. Brown happily obliged to wearing a mask when requested. So, in conclusion? The doctor is great, easy to work with. The staff? A bit unprofessional and sometimes makes me uneasy.

Best to not go here. He's not concerned with fixing skeletal issues just slapping on braces and letting the aids do all the treatment. I know people who have jaw and bite problems because their teeth on the bottom are not aligned to the center. I know people who's teeth go very crooked after a short time even with retainers. I know people who have been ripped off financially. A nice guy, but he lacks the advanced technical training which is rare for this kind of profession especially in Davis County. Just my advice and personal opinion.

Our experience with Dr. Brown has been great. He exemplifies what an Orthodontist should be in that he truly does care for his patients and he is painstaking in his desire to make sure that his approach is appropriate for his patient. When we were discussing options on braces he laid out all of the plans, the pro's and the cons, and truly coached us to the right decision. We refer all of our family and friends as a result and I highly recommend his services if quality, and caring is what you are looking for.

Dr Browns and his whole staff are TOP KNOCH!!! 5 star experience all around! I have experienced 6 orthodontist within my families life. These guys are the most detailed and the most thoughtful and supportive through the whole experience ! It's great to have the actual Doctor do the important work. The actual Doctor places the braces... not the assistants. He is very detailed oriented and loves to make everyone's smiles perfect. I always left the office with all my questions answered. I always had a smile on my face too because it was a positive experience. The whole staff is full of kind and awesome people. Last but not least... I felt spoiled! When I signed up for braces I got a new -NICE - electric toothbrush to help keep my teeth clean with braces. SO thoughtful! Also when I got my braces off they gave me balloons and a bottle of sparkling cider to celebrate! I would recommend Dr Brown and his whole staff to everyone! Go get braces while we are wearing masks!

Dr. Brown and his staff are incredible! Prior to meeting Dr. Brown, my oldest two children had braces elsewhere. Since then, my wife and two of my children have been treated by Dr. Brown. The results from Dr. Brown are far and dramatically superior. I thought braces are braces and it doesn't matter who does it. That is clearly not the case. Dr. Brown's artistry, vision, understanding are top notch, not to mention his honesty and integrity. You can trust that Dr. Brown will offer the best treatment and only what is right. We also have loved his staff, from the front desk to all of those who have taken care of us. They are friendly, kind and extremely competent. I have seven children, for our final two (one didn't need braces per Dr. Brown's recommendation) we will definitely be going only to Dr. Brown!
