Dr. Laurent graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a Bachelor of Science degree and earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Harvard School of Dental Medicine.

In 2009, Dr. Laurent opened Laurent Orthodontics to give patients in the Sonoma area healthy, beautiful smiles. For the last ten years, Dr. Laurent has transformed the lives of teens, adults and children through high-quality orthodontic care.
At Laurent Orthodontics, we strive to provide excellent customer service and care, and we make every possible effort to make you feel at home in our happy, positive environment! In fact, we were recently voted 'Best Orthodontist in Sonoma Valley' by the readers of the local paper, The Sonoma Index-Tribune, for the fourth year in a row.
Rachel is trained in every aspect of our office. She can help you with billing, insurance or financing questions, scheduling, and she even helps in the back as a dental assistant! Rachel is also bilingual to help us serve our Spanish-speaking patients.
Gone are the days of painful headgear, clunky bands on every tooth, and overly tight stainless steel wires. Today's orthodontic treatment is much more comfortable than it used to be. This is because of shape-memory NiTi wires.
With the same technology that NASA uses, NiTi wires exert a continuous force against the teeth to move them in the right direction. This gets rid of the need for wire tightening. This means you spend less time in braces, and the time you do spend is more comfortable.
Our Sonoma office was designed to make you feel comfortable and safe during your orthodontic treatment. Were located right off Sonoma Plaza, surrounded by a wide variety of shopping and dining options.
The orthodontic treatment process involves a series of orthodontic visits. We value the relationship that we will build with you and your family throughout that process and want you to be confident that you are receiving the best orthodontic care possible.
