Dr. Brett Garretts long road to becoming an orthodontist began right here at our very own Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, where he earned his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering as well as a minor in Business Administration.
While at Cal Poly, he realized his passion for orthodontics, but first worked as a Research & Development Engineer for a cutting edge medical device company designing new products. He then continued his journey to Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, FL, earning his Doctor of Medical Dentistry (D.M.D.) degree with highest honors. His goal was finally fulfilled when he returned to Loma Linda University for his orthodontic residency and an additional 2+ years of specialty training, obtaining his Certificate and Masters of Science (M.S.) in Orthodontics.
Dr. Garrett is a published author and reviewer for orthodontic publications. His most recent research article in the American Journal of Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics has been cited in numerous other works and continues to provide pertinent information to the specialty.
Dr. Garrett is a Board Certified Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. He is member of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), the California Association of Orthodontists, the Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists (PCSO), the American Dental Association (ADA), the California Dental Association (CDA), and the Central Coast Dental Society. As a Diamond Provider for Invisalign, he was asked to be on the Invisalign Doctor Panel.
Dr. Garrett married his high school sweetheart who also attended Cal Poly for her undergraduate degree. They have three children, who you may see inquisitively hanging around the office from time to time. When not making beautiful smiles, he enjoys family time, surfing, scuba diving, snowboarding, dirt biking and cheering on the 49ers. As an Eagle Scout, he is excited to again be a part of the Boy Scouts of America with his boysas part oflocal Troop308.
My husband and I moved to the Central Coast in 2015 and have loved every minute of it. We love spending time with our mutts, Piper and Darcy, and enjoy hanging out on the beach walking and having campfires.
Director of Practice DevelopmentIm Amy. Thank you for trusting our office to improve your smile. When Im not working or caring for our 3 growing children, I enjoy tennis, hiking, and lunch with friends!
Lead Clinic Chairside Assistant (OAP)Im Hailey. I have worked for GO since 2008. I am continually learning new things at my job, most notably how to print 3D models. Working at GO is both fun and challenging!
I love connecting with patients and parents, regardless of whether our patients are 7 or 70. I love making them feel welcomed and remembered. My hobbies are dirt biking, snowboarding, and thinking up creative solutions to make life easier. I have 3 dogs: Tessa, Joey, and Pepita.
I have lived on the Central Coast my entire life. I love spending time with my family in my free time. I like to drink coffee and go shopping. I like to hike and watch movies too. My favorite place to vacation is Disneyland!
I have a little girl who lights up my whole world. In my free time, I enjoy spending quality time with her. I also like hiking, wine tasting, concerts, going to the lake or beach, and exploring new places.
I love the learning experience of it all and witnessing the boost of confidence in our patients when they get their brand new smile. I enjoy road trips, food festivals, hiking, weekend BBQs, and spending quality time with family and friends.
Its important that people get the orthodontic care they need when they need it. We never want finances to be an obstacle to obtaining the beautiful smile you deserve. Orthodontics is an investment for the future a future of improved dental health and appearance.

If you are thinking of getting braces look no further than Garrett Orthodontics. From the first appointment I had with them to my last they showed nothing but excellent customer service. Dr. Garrett and all of his staff are kind, welcoming, and just give off good vibes all around. I was always insecure about my teeth and Dr. Garrett did a great job addressing my concerns and I am now happy and feel confident with my new smile! Thank you Garrett Orthodontics!
