Dr. Bedoya brings extensive education and years of experience to your unique orthodontic situation.

From there, she underwent an additional 24-month training beyond dental school to receive her Doctor of Health Science degree. This combined education allows her to correct orthodontic problems like crowding, open bites, overbites, and excessive spacing.
At Doctor Smiles Orthodontics, we understand that patients value non-invasive treatment options. That's why we've placed a practice-wide emphasis on offering gentle orthodontic options like Invisalign and clear braces. These dental solutions can correct minor to moderate orthodontic options for all ages, including children.

I took my 2 children to a different orthodontist in Tucson, with less than desirable results. Our dentist strongly recommended Dr. Bedoya. She is amazing! Both children's smiles are fixed and we couldn't be more grateful.

I love my monthly ortho visits! Dr. Bedoya and her staff are caring, warm, and have been incredibly supportive throughout my two year treatment. I can't imagine having a better experience with getting braces than I had with Dr. Bedoya and I am thrilled with my new smile. I highly recommend Dr. Smiles Orthodontics!

I recently lost my 15-year-old retainer and was terrified that my teeth were going to move if I didn't get a replacement in time. Every single person at Doctor Smiles went above and beyond my expectations; they were understanding, kind, and accommodating. I highly recommend this office!

I have never been to an appointment that made me this happy..From the beginning it has been such a wonderful experience. The first contact I had was lovely, over the phone scheduling was easy. They were very flexible and patient in finding the right day and time. The staff is incredibly kind, they are gracious and extremely helpful and they are very happy to be where they are, and it shows. The office is immaculate, fun and comfortable (coffee & water included!)They greeted my daughter by name and were so welcoming. She and I were both given explanations about what to expect for the appointment. Everything was made clear to us, detailed with no hidden fees tacked on and a clear and detailed treatment plan was produced for our review prior to paying. We were encouraged to ask questions, payment plans were available too. Altogether, this office and most importantly Dr. Bedoya and her team are amazing. I truly cannot say enough...On top of being personable and kind, the doctor received multiple awards recognizing her training, her practice and ability in her field. Consider seeing Dr. Bedoya for orthodontics for you, your child or anyone for that matter. We will recommend her every time! Leslie & Giselle you are the sweetest, and Dr. Bedoya is lucky to have you both at the front, as seeing you both when we walked in, sealed the deal for us. We absolutely love it here, and look forward to the time we will have with all of you!

Dr. Bedoya is the best orthodontist in the WORLD!!! I had completed treatment but I did not wear my retainer and my teeth started spacing out. I was afraid to smile, the first person I called was Dr. Bedoya and now my teeth look so beautiful and all I want to do is smile. I think the name Dr. Smiles is a perfect name because Dr. Bedoya will give you a million dollar smile. I would NEVER go anywhere else and any of my family members who need braces WILL get their treatment completed here. The crew is amazing and it feels like you are part of a big family, so warm and inviting. If you are reading this-STOP reading and call and make an appt there is NO need to read any other review Dr. Bedoya is Master at making your smile beautiful, I promise it is 1000% worth it!!
