Dr. Comella opened his own private practice in 2005. Since then, Comella Orthodontics has grown to be one of the top orthodontic practices in the country. When you meet Dr. Comella, you will instantly see not only his passion for orthodontics, but also his commitment to creating an incredible patient experience.

Dr. Comella is a native Rochesterian and graduated from RL Thomas Webster High School. After high school, he entered the US Air Force for a four-year tour which took him to Texas, South Korea, and Mississippi. It was in the Air Force that he started his path in dentistry through his training and work as a dental lab technician. At this time, he also learned to fly aircraft and earned his pilots license.

Following his tour in the US Air Force, Dr. Comella earned his Bachelor and Master of Science degrees from Rochester Institute of Technologys College of Engineering. While surprising to some, Dr. Comella believes his education in the field of mechanical engineering laid the perfect foundation for entering the field of dentistry. He then completed his Doctor of Dental Surgery and specialized degree in orthodontics from the State University of New York at Buffalo.

Assisting him in the office is Trevor, Dr. Comellas dog. Trevor is a 12 year-old Shiba Inu that regularly comes to the office. Make sure to say hi to Trevor when you stop in he will probably be sleeping on the floor!

Orthodontists from around the country travel to Rochester to attend this specialized two-day course which includes a lecture on Day 1 and a hands-on, in-office experience on Day 2. This course is a fantastic way for Dr. Comella to further share his experience and expertise.

Driven by the demands of esthetics, a relatively new style of braces is being brought to light rather, hidden by orthodontist and mechanical engineer, Dr. Brandon Comella. Dr. Comella is an expert on lingual braces, placed behind teeth to give patients a better smile without the look of traditional braces.

Dr. Brandon Comella has created the only formal lingual braces training program available in North America. With the newly developed Harmony Expert Program, orthodontists can attend a two-day training class in Rochester to be educated on a highly specialized option known as lingual braces.

You deserve a smile that youre proud to show off even while youre still in treatment. We provide completely discreet treatment options, including clear braces, behind-the-teeth braces, and Invisalign for adults and teens.

As an adult I was definitely nervous about starting Orthodontia, however the team at Comella has been so warm and welcoming that those worries were quickly put at ease. They are very friendly and personable I never felt out of place. Thank you Dr. Comella and team for all you do!

De Comella, Dr Shires and Gary were my primary contacts. However everyone on the staff always were a delight. From scheduling and treatment they are all an outstanding team of fun and happy folks. My teeth look amazing and I am thrilled with my smile! If anyone is on the fence about braces or aligners I would recommend Comella !

My original orthodontist retired and Comella took over my treatment. It was even better than before. The personal experience and attention to my teeth and their health/movement was excellent.

I love Dr.Comella & his team! My sister had braces from him when she was younger which made me reach out to them as well. Lol I think he should know by now, every person I come across who expresses even the slightest interest in getting braces, I automatically refer them to him. From my very first appointment with just a consultation, the atmosphere was so welcoming that I didn't even consider looking elsewhere. Everyone is beyond friendly & I wholeheartedly can say it's genuine, which is so needed now a days. Everyone is super knowledgeable and takes their time to educate you during the whole process. I remember my first appointment when I took my before pictures my hair was crazy & the next time I came in, I asked if I could retake it & they let me! Something so small meant a lot to me. I just finished my treatment which I'm actually very sad about because I enjoyed my braces in my adulthood. Thank you so much Dr. Comella, Dr. Squires & team! I will always send people your way! I love my new smile and I appreciate everything that you've done for me. Thanks for the bottle of wine as well, I don't have to worry about my rubber bands being stained from drinking it lol.

Comella Orthodontics has been amazing for our family and particularly for our daughter. She came in at age 7 with some crowding and they worked with her, even though she was extremely nervous. They're great with her every time we come in and the work has led to much straighter teeth and a beautiful smile. Highly recommend!

Got my braces done here after years of needing them and my experience was just great. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. If I ever needed anything with my braces fixed real quick, such as a wire poking or a bracket falling off, they were quick with trying to help out and fix the problems I was having. Just in general very accommodating which I very much appericate knowing how busy they can be.

When my orthodontist retired in the middle of my treatment, Dr Comella and the staff set up a meeting with me to go over the entire transition process. He is very personable and professional. His engineering background and being a dentist, helps him formulate the best treatment for each individual plan. I was a bit anxious about my former orthodontist retiring, but Comella did everything to have a smooth transition. I'd definitely recommend this practice. He also has a great reputation in the dental community as well.

We had a great experience here. The process from start to finish was a smooth one. Never had an issue getting an appointment. Always so fast and efficient. Communication was great. In fact, I would always receive a text message confirming my appointment. I would definitely recommend this Orthodontist practice.

Dr. Comella and associates are absolutely wonderful to work with from the moment you walk in the door until you leave. They explained the full process of what would happen with my daughter. My child felt very comfortable with them every time she had an appointment. We are extremely pleased with the outcome of her teeth. I highly recommend Dr. Comella!

We absolutely LOVE Dr. Comella and the entire team! They are ALL so friendly and welcoming!!! I was patient here in the past and my daughter is a patient and just got her braces off today! It's bitter sweet to be leaving the comella family soon because we enjoy our visits so much, but nonetheless we are excited to have her braces off!! So glad we chose comella, they are such a great family oriented office! If you are thinking of choosing them DO IT, you will be glad you did!
