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.

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.

    We went for our first visit this week. The staff and Dr were very friendly and welcoming. We liked the ease of signing in upon arrival, and text messages following up post appointment.

    I'm only halfway from my completion date but already I'm so happy with my results! Amazing, really! It made me think that I should have done this long ago, yet I'm told that to correct my situation the technology in Invisalign only evolved a few years ago. So I'm happy I finally did it. The inconvenience is nothing compared to the benefits I'm seeing in my smile. I cringe now seeing older pictures of myself at the wrong angle. The office is very efficient, wait time is but a few minutes after check-in, and I like Dr Garrett.

    I'd recommend Garrett Orthodontics to any family. The staff was very helpful and patient. They explained what we could expect and provided useful reference cards. I'm so grateful for their work. I appreciated how they celebrated who was getting their braces on and off in the office. 5 stars all the way! Great job.

    They are very professional and thorough. Also they don't over promise which I appreciate. I like that they have an office in SLO as well as Arroyo Grande. I thought Dr. Garrett was very personable and that goes for his staff as well. I felt very comfortable there.

    I have taken two of my children to Dr. Garrett's office and have had great results. The front desk personnel are very helpful and friendly. Every time we need a adjustment/repair appointment they find a way to get us in promptly. I work in the Dental field and have high expectations and they have always delivered on what they promised

    So gentle, kind, helpful, and thoughtful! From someone who has a fear of orthodontia, this office is perfect! They are so kind and helpful and understanding through every step. Haven't had a bad interaction with a single person in the whole office. Highly recommend!

    I went in for a second opinion about how I could correct my misaligned teeth, and they were nothing short of kind, knowledgeable and thoughtful! The dr is knowledgeable and personable, the staff was kind and friendly, and the office staff added thoughtful touches (like a welcome board with names of new patients, names of who is getting braces on and names of who is getting them off). They provided a sliding scale quote for how much Invisalign would be for me, which made it super easy and clear for me to determine costs. Also, to pay and move onto the first step of the process was SO smooth. Basically, I signed up with no doubt that they were the right place for me.
