From the moment you step foot into Peach Orthodontics, we want you to feel welcomed into the family. You will be greeted by our expert staff, who is dedicated to helping you along your journey to the perfect smile. We live and work in Post Falls, so we know how important it is to build and foster relationships with those around us. Luckily, community relations is a passion of Dr. Brents and the rest of the Peach Orthodontics team. Uplifting the residents of Post Falls and surrounding areas is what we do best.

As a veteran-owned practice, we have a commitment to excellence that drives us to keep pushing forward. We deliver beautiful smiles with top-of-the-line technology such as the laser treatment iTero, Vpro, a device that stimulates bone remolding, and digital bracket placement. State-of-the-art technology is best utilized in the hands of trained professionals, so our doctor and team are constantly sharpening their knowledge of processes and techniques to serve our patients best. From braces to Invisalign, we take pride in being the foremost authority on the latest and greatest treatment options.

Dr. Brent, our fearless leader, began his career as a general dentist but soon realized his true calling in orthodontics. This prior experience in dentistry, along with extensive training in the field of orthodontics, enables him and our team to create personalized treatment plans for our ever-growing family of patients.

Its no secret that we love to help people achieve the smile of their dreams. In pursuit of this dream, we have made it our goal to keep all corrective treatments as affordable as possible. With flexible financing options, we are able to make sure that you get the best care available without breaking the bank. We understand that each patient is unique, which is why we craft special treatment plans that work best for you and your stage of life.

While we are honored to welcome new patients, we have also streamlined the process for accepting patients who have already begun corrective treatment. Even if you already have brackets on your teeth, we can get you in a chair right away to discuss moving forward in your treatment under the care of our highly specialized staff.

We are in this field because we believe everybody has the right to look in the mirror and see a smile they love. While we are privileged to witness many success stories, one of the most impactful patient testimonials came from a shy, young girl whose mother drove her two hours to receive our care. When she completed her treatment, she was able to face the world bravely with a dazzling smile.

We know this is an investment, and we want to assure you our first priority is making you feel comfortable every step of the way. As much as you are investing in us, we want to invest equally back into our relationships with our patients and their families. We dont subscribe to the mentality that orthodontic care is just a transaction. We believe it can be a life-changing experience that builds confidence and boosts self-esteem.

Our mission and ideology can be summed up in the following quote: Rivers do not drink their own water; trees do not eat their own fruit; the sun does not shine on itself, and flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves. Living for others is a rule of nature. We are all born to help each other. No matter how difficult it is life is good when you are happy, but much better when others are happy because of you.

Growing up in the rural farm community of Ida, Michigan, with a father in construction and a mother who worked as a paramedic, Dr. Brent was raised with an appreciation for both hard work and changing lives through medicine. From a young age, Dr. Brents foremost hobbies of building model airplanes and playing the saxophone directed his focus to dentistry, a profession combining hand skills with helping people.

Further encouraging his future in dentistry, Dr. Brent honed his entrepreneurial spirit by starting a snow-removal business to help finance his undergraduate studies. His hard work and perseverance launched him into dental school at the University of Detroit Mercy. Dr. Brent excelled; and was inducted into Omicron Kappa Upsilon Honors Dental Society. He was also the sole recipient of the Maxillofacial Radiology Excellence Award.

Dr. Brent was eager to continue learning while seeing the world and was offered a position with the United States Air Force (USAF) in the Health Professions Scholarship Program. While appointed in the USAF as a DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery), his professional achievements really took-off. Because of Dr. Brents appreciation for the beauty of natural and healthy teeth plus his close attention to detail, orthodontics seemed a perfect match. After six years of refining his skill set in general dentistry, he became 1 of 6 dentists across the military selected into orthodontic specialty training at TORP (Tri-Service Orthodontic Residency Program). Dr. Brent quickly accumulated extensive experience in interdisciplinary care and surgical orthodontic treatment while collaborating with Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons stationed around the world.

Dr. Brents professional achievements culminated with obtaining his Orthodontic Board Certification in 2014. It is a distinction that only 30% of orthodontists accomplish nationwide. Along the way, Dr. Brent and Ally traveled to many developing countries and remote parts of the world serving on short-term mission trips for those in need of dental healing.

Although Dr. Brent met his wife in Italy, Ally was born and raised in Pearl City, Hawaii. Together they bring a melting pot of culture and experiences with them on many levels and are generous in sharing that with those around them.

Ally also loves to cook and has recently completed culinary coursework lucky for Brent, Finn, and their little girl, Isla.
