Dr. John Budd received his bachelors degree, graduating with honors in Business Management from Brigham Young University. He attended dental school at the prestigious University of California San Francisco and graduated as valedictorian of his dental class earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) degree. He stayed in San Francisco to complete his three year post-graduate training in Orthodontics while also receiving a masters degree in Oral and Craniofacial Sciences. Dr. Budd is passionate about orthodontics. He has had his work published by the International Journal of Endodontics and the Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists. He is a member of the Omicron Kappa Upsilon National Dental Honor Society - an honor given to a small number of doctors who are voted into the organization by their colleagues.
Dr. Budd is board-certified with the American Board of Orthodontics, an active member of the American Association of Orthodontics, the American Dental Association, the Arizona Dental Association, and the Central Arizona Dental Society. He loves the variety found in treating both children and adults, and has special interest in treatment involving temporary anchorage devices (TADs) and Invisalign. Dr. Budd loves to continue learning about developments in the field of orthodontics by attending continuing education meetings and professional study clubs.
Our professional staff has a combined experience of over 75 years providing outstanding orthodontic care to our patients. They take pride in knowing each patient by name and in making each visit to our office relaxing and enjoyable.
Megan grew up in Tucson, AZ and is a Wildcat through and through. She has been in general dentistry for 5 years and has enjoyed helping patients regain their confidence through their smiles. She has recently started working with Budd Orthodontics and has loved learning the ins and outs of orthodontics. Although Megan is newer to the field, she loves the challenge and is excited to help serve all of Dr Budds amazing patients.
Megan has been married to her husband, Michael, for 6 years. They love traveling and have plans to see the whole world one trip at a time. They also love spending time with family, friends, hiking, going to the movies, finding new restaurants and occasionally doing something crazy like running a Ragnar Relay race.
Pam relocated from Chicago to Arizona as a young girl, and currently resides in Cave Creek. She has been married to her husband Jeff for over 40 years. She has two grown children Amber and Rob, yet considers her son-in-law, Mario and her daughter-in-law, Tiffany like her own kids too. She enjoys spending time with her four grandchildren Tatum, Nathan, Gavin, and Lexie.
Pam loves thunder and rain (probably because she doesn't get to see much of it in sunny Arizona!). She has worked in orthodontics for over 25 years. Pams favorite past time is knitting scarves and kitchen dishcloths.
Natalia was born in New York, but raised in Poland. She is the one with the 'exotic' accent in the office. She moved to Arizona when she was 16 years old. By age 19, she 'fell in love with teeth'. Natalia has 9 years of orthodontic experience. She loves to travel, spend time outside, hike, paddle-board, and play tennis. She also has two furry cats that are spoiled rotten.
Justine grew up in Newport Beach, CA and recently moved to Arizona. She has worked in the Orthodontic field for over 15 years. Justine loves building relationships with the patients and making them feel welcome every time they walk in the door. In her spare time, Justine loves spending time with her horse and her dog. She also enjoys a little bit of shopping and watching TV.
Lexi moved to Arizona from Illinois in 2012. She came from a small town where the population is 1,500 and her graduating class had only 60 students. Lexi started her career in general dentistry but soon discovered the fun field of orthodontics where she plans to stay.
Since she arrived in Arizona, she has discovered many fun things to do. Some of her favorites are going to the animal shelter, and watching comedy shows. Lexi is a people person and the first thing she notices about someone is their smile. She is really happy to be working in Dr. Budds office, helping to make smiles great! Jessica has been in the orthodontic field for 8 years.
At Budd Orthodontics, we are committed to you and your smile. We provide the highest quality clinical care with state-of-the-art facilities and the latest technology. However, we take pride in knowing our patients as individuals we talk often in our office about making sure that people do not feel like a number. Dr. Budd and his team enjoy getting to know each patient and their families, and love creating relationships that last multiple generations.

Wow...my son just came home after getting his braces off for the last time....he's done! His teeth look spectacular and they will now serve him well for a lifetime. The difference between now and when he first went to Dr. Budd is just awesome...he is soooo happy! Dr. John and the staff have been amazing over the entire process and we just couldn't be more thrilled. My younger son has recently gone to Budd Ortho as well and we know he will have the same spectacular results. A thousand thank you's!

Dr Budd and his staff are truly one of the best orthodontics in Phoenix. I decided to get braces as an adults and when I was choosing an orthodontics, I consulted a few before deciding Dr. Budd would be the one who was going to help me get results. from my first consultation to my every 8 weeks visits, I always received excellent service from him and his staff. Lexi was my dental asst and she was very knowledgeable and professional. After 15 months of treatment, my teeth look better than ever. The treatment was not expensive either. If you want straight teeth, don't look any further, make an appointment with Dr. Budd today.
