Being an orthodontist has been three-fourths of my time. Its been rewarding and has given me a chance to interact with and know a large portion of the community. Having opened my practice in 1990, I have had the pleasure of serving generations of families and, to this day, run into former patients who greet me with wonderful smiles!

Serving both the northern San Joaquin Valley and Amador County allows me to get to know a diverse range of people. I appreciate all that my patients have taught me over the years. The stories and insights they have shared, about their daily lives, interests, and activities, have all broadened my world and made me a better person and professional.

In turn, I have constantly strived to provide every patient with the best orthodontic experience one that is comfortable and efficient with excellent results. I want each person to finish their treatment with improved oral health, a good bite, and a smile that grows their self-esteem and the confidence with which they greet the world!

I grew up in Berrien Springs, Michigan, and found my way to orthodontics after doing manual labor and not enjoying it very much. Realizing I wanted a career where I helped people and had opportunities to build relationships, along with wanting to be challenged to grow, made orthodontics a natural fit. I have been practicing for 36 years and have enjoyed every day of my career. There are not many people who are this lucky!

In the years since I welcomed my first patient, much about orthodontics has changed. We now have digital technologies that have transformed diagnostics and treatment; we better understand the development of the mouth and have effective early-intervention techniques that mean less invasive treatment later; and we have a range of aesthetic treatment options that are effective and virtually invisible for our adolescent and adult patients!

These organizations offer numerous avenues for me to learn from leading practitioners, researchers, and my peers. In addition to attending meetings, lectures, and hands-on training, I stay current with the latest refereed journals and other publications.

Throughout my career I have sought out new orthodontic options that improve the patient experience more efficient, comfortable, accurate and ensure predictable, stable results. My patients deserve the best of modern orthodontics and to finish treatment with a radiant, healthy smile they love!

When I go home in the evening its to spend time with Kelly, my wife of 40 years, at our home in Lodi. Kelly and I have two daughters, Erica and Jillian, who are both married; we now have five grandchildren!

I spend a lot of my free time with my grandchildren, though I also enjoy trips to the coast and to Hawaii, and am an avid golfer, as well. Time is set aside for cheering for the San Francisco Giants, of course. When I have the time, I like reading a good book, and Kelly tells me I should enjoy yard work, too!

My team members are always willing to go the extra mile, for our patients and families, and for their coworkers; none of them just clock in. They make my job easier, as I know I can trust them to always do what is right by our patients, and they do so with good hearts, making treatment a great experience for our patients.

It makes me smile to hear my team chatting and laughing with patients, providing education and encouragement, and celebrating their accomplishments. They do so with warmth and kindness, not because its part of the job, but because they love what they do!

I like being part of a practice that makes a difference in peoples lives, It feels good to market our services, knowing we offer excellent care and create beautiful smiles. I love running into patients and parents in our community and hearing the great things they have to say about Dr. B and our office staff!

I started my career as a filing clerk in an oral surgery practice in 1986 and have worked in different dental fields, but was always drawn to orthodontics. In 1999 I joined this amazing practice and love everything about it.

  • We are unconditionally committed to providing our patients with the same attention and compassion we would provide for a member of our own family or we would expect if we were receiving the treatment ourselves.
  • Over the years we have watched our patients transform, from visit-to-visit, as each has seen the change in their appearance. By the time their orthodontic treatment is finished, each of our patients has an improved bite, straight teeth, and a one-of-a-kind smile that ensures their personality shines!

    We have been honored to change smiles for children, teens, adults, and seniors, using advanced techniques and personalized treatment plans, since 1990. Now we welcome the opportunity to straighten your teeth and improve your self-confidence with a new smile, too!

    Since opening our doors in 1990, we have dedicated ourselves to providing the orthodontic experience we would want to receive: high-quality, efficient, and comfortable, with every visit tailored to the individual.

  • Dr. Brizendine is known for his clinical skills, professionalism, and kindness. Rather than a cookie-cutter approach to treatment, he designs treatment to the individual, considering what will provide the best experience and results. This ensures comfortable care whether with braces or clear aligners and a beautiful finished smile.
  • Our team members, front office and clinical, are well-trained, friendly, and accommodating. They share Dr. Brizendines belief in putting patients wellbeing at the forefront and are dedicated to ensuring everyone feels welcome, valued, and confident in the care they are receiving.
