A smile means so much as an expression. It makes people feel so good to get a smile, and to give one in return. I have always believed that orthodontics is one of the greatest gifts a parent can give to achild.

Not a day goes by that laughter doesnt permeate the office. My patients and staff even manage to laugh at my jokes! We believe that genuine care and compassion goes a long way in creating satisfied, smiling patients.

The profession of orthodontics has never been static;new techniques are developing at a rapid pace to benefit all. As an orthodontist dedicated to improving my patients lives, I have continued to expand my knowledge and education in all aspects of dental and orthodontic technology, procedures, and enhanced diagnostics.

I was born in Williamsburg, Virginia and primarily grew up in Murray, a small university town in western Kentucky. My family tree goes back to the mid-1700s, when my ancestorscame with Daniel Boone to settlenot far from the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.

I live in Bradenton with five grown children.I treasure each of my five grandchildren for who they are and the happiness they have. The majority of my free time is spent with family or on the golf course.

We recognize that all our patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice.

I entered the orthodontic field in 1993 in Massachussetts, where I was born and raised. After visiting florida as a child, I always knew I woud become a permanent resident here. I started working for Dr. Tinsworth in 1999 as an orthodontic assistant. My job consists of many different roles. I assist Dr. Tinsworthin the clinic, I manage and order supplies for the clinic, and I assist withmarketing on social media. The favorite part of my job is creating beautiful smiles and watching as patients evolve through treatment and gain confidence.

I have been married to my husband Chris since 1996. We have a daughter, Miranda, and two kitties. As a family, we enjoy going to Disney World, cheering on the Red Sox, Patriots, and Bruins, and going to the beach.

I began mycareer as an orthodontic assistant and have taken on many different roles. Outside of the office I spend most of my time with my son and two dogs, Rover and Chance. I enjoy finding new places to eat, going to the beach, and I'm a big Harry Potter and Dallas Cowboys fan!

    I don't know, is it something about older adults that he can't work with? I came in 2018 and things didn't work out. Only pros, some of his staff are nice. Other than that forget it. He told me I would have to pay $3,000 for my whole treatment. After getting the braces, I was told it would be $5,600. Stop price gauging people! He said because I was getting my uppers done and not my lowers. He never made that clear. And later he told me it's called "partial treatment" which I didn't agree to. Let the patient know in advance, it's only your upper teeth you're gonna work with. He didn't have holistic care he only goes by what he think is necessary and not what the patient need. The lady let me know it was "partial treatment" after the fact, and I, the client not knowing, made things worse. So I signed. I never said "only uppers."" So he acted like it would be both of my jaw bones for $3000 but It was only the upper he wanted to work with instead of both. To make a long story short, my teeth was in pain during treatment bc he said we never agreed out of contract." I had to pay to remove braces. When removing the braces, he filed so much of my teeth down that it lost its strength. I even obtained a chipped tooth because of him. My teeth are very pretty and rectangle and now he made them round. It was horrible. He also filed them down so much I lost my enamel (the outer white part of your teeth) it became yellow. I had a chip tooth, and my teeth became very thin. It was because of Dr Tinsworth. It was the worst experience I've ever had. The assistant was looking at him and looking him like "oh what are you doing" " you're filing too much" She was looking at him weird and me weird. She was like what the heck is he doing??? She didn't even stop him. He shouldn't be in practice now. Please don't go there don't even waste your time. He does it on purpose and he does it to everyone. I reported it to the Florida Department of Health bc he played around with his license!

    Great guys! We're on vacation in Anna Maria from MD. They not only did the same day appointment but fixed my son's displaced wire free of charge. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality and warmth of their customer service. Thank you!

    Many thanks to staff and Dr. Tinsworth for the gift of bands for my granddaughters braces. Sophia, 12 yrs old is visiting us from Winter Haven during her spring break. The bands were forgotten and left from home. I visited the office today and they graciously gave us a packet to use while here in Bradenton. Thank you so much. Would recommend their practice to all. Sincerely, Rita Allan

    Obviously, having braces is not a pleasant experience, but if you have to go through the process, Dr. Tinsworth and his amazing staff is the way to go. Highly recommend.

    I rarely leave reviews but after spending $4600 for clear choice and after 16 months of not having what I was shown originally was extremely disappointing. It just did not work as Dr Tinsworth.told me and assured me it would. I was given 12 months worth of trays and told it could take longer. Ok, no problem I thought. I wore the last set of trays for almost 3 months going back on multiple occasions and Dr Tinsworth would adjust them with pliers and told me to come back in three weeks each time. I live 45 minutes away and those three trips at the end cost me time and money Final result Dr Tinsworth offered me braces for the next six months. I told him at the onset I did not want braces I wanted clear choice. I am extremely disappointed that I lost $4600 with a very bad result. Bad business on their part. There was not one dollar offered back to me. Shame on them. The phrase " the customer is always right " did not exist in my case and therefore my review. There may be 10 good reviews , that does not mean it cannot happen to you. There is no disclaimer in the contract saying results may vary. . I highly recommend everyone take note of my experience because it may happen to you.

    I got my braces off today and I seriously can't stop smiling. Dr. T changed my life! Not only did he give me the smile I've always wanted but I was able to get my braces off sooner than I was supposed to. The staff is so loving and wonderful. My only regret is not getting braces sooner. Thank you so much for treating me like family and making my teeth so beautiful. I am forever grateful for all of you.
