Dr. Bruner began specializing in orthodontics in 2002. Before orthodontics, Dr. Bruner attended Loma Linda University where he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1998. After serving in the U.S. Army Dental Corps as a general dentist and flight surgeon for the 25th Infantry Division at Schofield Barracks, Dr. Bruner left general dentistry in order to become a specialist in orthodontics. Dr. Bruner graduated with his masters degree and specialty certificate in orthodontics from the University of Louisville. After completing his last tour of duty, where he served as the Chief of Orthodontics at Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu, Major Bruner and his family returned home to Redmond, Washington.

In July of 2007, Dr. Bruner purchased the orthodontic practice of Dr. Stanley Gile, who happened to be Dr. Bruners childhood orthodontist. The practice remains singularly focused on providing outstanding, compassionate care in a fun and family-friendly environment. The office is committed to using the latest, most technologically advanced and efficient treatment materials available today. These include braces with the Pitts 21 System, the Damon System and orthodontic treatment with Invisalign. The investment in technology and systems in our office works to make your orthodontic treatment as fast and comfortable as possible.
