Did you know all orthodontists are dentists, but not all dentists are orthodontists? With somany different doctors and dental clinics offering Invisalign and promising braces in half the time, its important tounderstand what makes an orthodontist different and why you should choose acertified orthodontic specialistfor any typeof treatment designed to straighten your teeth or improve your bite.
To becomean orthodontist a dentist must attend an additional 2 to 3 years of school at anaccreditedprogram to learn about facial harmony, occlusion and the biomechanics required to move teeth. Dr. Moody earned her Bachelors degree and her degree indental medicine from the University of Florida in 2006. After graduating at the top of her class, she received a scholarship to the University of Colorado for 3 additional years of orthodontic specialty training.During her orthodonticresidency she received advanced certification inInvisalign, clear braces treatment,surgical orthodontics, training in theDamon Systemself-ligatingorthodontic appliances, and temporary anchorage devices (miniscrews).
Dr. Moody recently completed theInvisalignMasterscourse and was invited to Costa Rica to tour the facility where Invisalign is made, and discuss the latest treatmenttechniques. Dr. Moody is also the founder of a study club with over 200 orthodontists from around the world who share herpassion for forward thinking, sharing knowledge and treatingcomplex cases with the most advanced methods.
I would highly recommend Dr. Moody to anyone looking to get braces for their kids or themselves. I have three kids and two of them have had braces. It was time for the third to get braces, but the previous orthodontist had retired. We visited several offices looking for a new orthodontist. Cost was most important, but we also wanted someone knowledgeable and friendly. Dr. Moody met all of these criteria. My child was done with treatment in 18 months and her teeth look great!! I am now getting Invisalign for myself !! David S.
Dr. Moody feels it is important to treat each case individually and spends time with each patient at every visit. She also believes in educating her patients and communicating all of the aspects involved with their orthodontic treatment. This ensures excellent clinical care and often a shorter treatment time for her patients.

Dr Moody and team are amazing! We are just starting the Ortho conversations with my kiddo. Everything was explained in detail, all our questions were answered, and I didn't feel like anything was being pushed on us. The whole team was super sweet with my 8 year old. I am so glad that we found someone we can trust to handle this process. We definitely know we are in great hands.

Dr. Moody is the best and did such a great job giving my son such a beautiful smile. Her staff and technicians, they are all great so I can't name any specific names , are so amazing that we are truly going to miss seeing them as much now that we are at the end of our treatment plan. If you are looking for an orthodontist I HIGHLY recommend them!

I'm not sure why anyone would go anywhere else for orthodontics. We had our first visit this afternoon and I could not be anymore pleased with how it went. Everyone from the front staff at check in to our consultation and then to the back were all so incredibly nice. They had a big lit up sign up front with my son's name on it to welcome him to the practice, he really got a kick outta that! Then when we met Dr. Moody she made sure my son was comfortable with her and he hates doctors but absolutely LOVED her! She asked him questions about his smile and how he felt about it and listened to what he had to say. Pretty awesome stuff! Everything was explained in a way we could both understand and we got started with fixing his smile immediately! Im so glad we chose her and her team for our ortho needs, we're excited to see how much his smile improves over the next few months.

Dr. Moody and team are extremely wonderful. She spent as much time as we needed explaining everything and answering questions about my daughters treatment plan and we never felt rushed. That was a breath of fresh air from past experience with other orthodontists.
