Dr. Ralph was raised in Post Falls, Idaho after his father retired as a colonel from the U.S.Air Force. He has a passion for doing orthodontics in an upbeat way that makes it fun for all involved: patients, staff, and parents! Dr. Ralph loves working as an orthodontist in both of his offices Liberty Lake and Spokane because of the variety of people thoseoffices attract.
After graduating as valedictorian from Lakeland High School, Dr. Ralph began his college career at the University of California, San Diego (Revelle College). He graduated summa cum laude with a degree in chemistry. He continued at the University of Michigan, where he graduated the valedictorian of his dental school class and later earned a Master of Science degree in orthodontics.
Dr. Ralph is an avid outdoor enthusiast. His favorites are bow hunting, whitewater rafting, flyfishing, snowboarding, and water skiing. Dr. Ralph is very hands on; he constantly workson do-it-yourself projects. He is married with two sons.
At our orthodontic practice, we work hard to treat our patients the same way we would like to be treated: with respect, professionalism, and sensitivity toward theirneeds. We understand the expectations of the patients and families we serve, and we do everything we can to make sure each patient has an exceptional experience at our practice.
Whether you are a patient or a family member of a patient, we work to keep the atmosphere in our office comfortable and friendly. From our waiting rooms to our exam and treatment rooms, you will find inviting spaces designed for your comfort.
When you need an orthodontist, finding one that offers a variety of treatment types is important. Dr. Scott Ralph offers Invisalign, Invisalign Teen, and several choices of traditional braces. Whether you select Invisalign or traditional braces, we will work to ensure that you receive the best treatment.
For most people, achieving a healthy, beautiful smile is the reason for receiving orthodontic care. If youre self-conscious about your smile, correcting your concerns with braces will greatly improve the way you look and feel.
When your treatment is complete, you will have the smile youve always dreamed of and the confidence to show it off! We also want you to feel comfortable and confident throughout your entire orthodontic experience, and our practice is dedicated to making sure that you receive the quality care you deserve.
Orthodontic appliances are made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to the proper position.
Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. You can now choose clear or metal brackets and, in some cases, the color of your appliance. Wires are far less noticeable, and the latest materials are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort. Today, any age is a great age to wear braces!
Treatment time varies and can last between one and three years, depending on several factors including age, treatment method, and how minor or severe your case is. A big factor in a successful treatment is you! The more involved and diligent you are, the more efficient your treatment will be. For children, receiving interceptive or early treatment can also help provide a quicker treatment time.

Mom's beware, their appointment schedules are not accommodating for kids for before and after school. It is very hard to get in. They are closed multiple weeks during Christmas when kids are off. Been a patient there for my daughter's braces. On our last appointment I could not get in for almost 2 months. I asked Dr Ralph if my daughter was ready to get her braces off and he made a snarky remark saying if you would have brought her in earlier she would be ready yet they had no openings.

I am at the end part of my orthodontic treatment plan and I highly recommend Dr Scott Ralph Orthodontics for all ages young and old and in between. My daughter also went through a treatment plan with Dr Ralph and I was so pleased with her results I decided to get my teeth and bite alignment corrected as well. The staff is friendly and professional. I am pleased with my results and the time frame it was completed in. Sincerely, Sondra Woodbury

What a lovely office! Pain free, fast and efficient, very friendly, and prices are reasonable. I'd give 10 stars if I could! My daughter gets excited for her appointments. Which is unlike her, usually she's very nervous. All thanks to the staff at Dr. Scott Ralph Orthodontics.
