With over 150 years of combined orthodontic experience, our team holds the highest level of certification in the state of Oregon. Dr. Ravassipour earned his Masters in Orthodontics from one of the leading orthodontic schools in the nation, graduating in the top 5% of his class.

I grew up in beautiful Wenatchee, Washington and got my Bachelors of Science at the University of Puget Sound. I received my Doctorate in Dental Surgery followed by my Masters in Orthodontics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Once a TARHEEL always a TARHEEL! I have known that I wanted to become an Orthodontist from age 12 and now I have the greatest job in the world. I get to hang out with kids, teens, and adults, getting to know them and their families, watching them grow, and create lifelong relationships. Seeing how orthodontics change lives and create smiles people can rave about for a lifetime is the greatest reward.

In 2003, I married the love of my life, a rare Rogue Valley native Kelly. We feel very fortunate to be able to raise our two children in this beautiful community. We are passionate about making a positive impact in our Valley and have been the co-founder of the Rogue Run Marathon and past president of Rotary, 4H educator and supporter, and Pear Blossom sponsor

If you want to improve the look and feel of your smile, then any age can be a great age to see the orthodontist. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children first visit an orthodontist around the age of seven; however, orthodontic treatment is not exclusive to children and teens, with about one in every five orthodontic patients being over the age of 21. Whether youre considering treatment for yourself or for a child, any time is a good time to visit the orthodontist.

Orthodontic appliances can be made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or they may be bonded to the teeth. Here at Ravassipour Orthodontics we offer clear or metal brackets and Invisalign. To keep braces exciting and interesting for kids, our elastic ties come in an array of colors. Wires are also less noticeable than they used to be, and the latest materials move teeth faster with less discomfort to patients.

An orthodontist is a licensed dentist who after dental school attends a 2-3 year residency specializing in orthodontic training. Dr. Ravassipour was trained at one of the top programs in the country in how to straighten teeth, correct misaligned jaw structure and improve the function of your smile.

Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners to straighten your teeth. Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable; so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are less of a hassle. The aligners are comfortable and have no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment.

Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. With metal braces, you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile.

Treatment time typically ranges from one to three years, depending on the growth of the patients mouth and face and the severity of the problem. Patients grow at different rates and will respond variously to orthodontic treatment, so the time to case completion may differ from the original estimate. The patients diligent use of any prescribed rubber bands or headgear is an important factor in achieving the most efficient treatment. Interceptive, or early treatment procedures, may take as few as six months.
