Modern, Precise Orthodontic Treatment

How Does Modern Orthodontic Technology Improve Your Results?

We use advanced digital orthodontic technology to create precise, efficient treatment plans for children, teens, and adults.

Digital iTero® 3D scans replace messy impressions, allowing us to design accurate Invisalign and braces treatment plans from the start. Modern orthodontic systems improve comfort, reduce unnecessary visits, and help us predict tooth movement with greater accuracy.

Every smile plan is built around your facial balance, bite function, and long-term stability, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Early Orthodontics

Begin your child’s orthodontic journey with confidence with an orthodontist consultation at age 7. Our early intervention techniques promote healthy development and set the stage for a lifetime of bright smiles.

After two years of getting braces done with Dr. Minahan, I can confidently say that there is no better place to receive any orthodontic treatment! Her and Rhonda are truly two of the kindest people I’ve ever met. They do such an incredible job of making me feel so safe and comfortable for every visit! Both of them are so professional yet so fun to talk to! Dr. Minahan always made sure my braces felt good on my teeth with as little discomfort as possible. Rhonda always gave me such good advice and made me feel so good about myself! I’m incredibly pleased with my new smile and can’t wait to show it off!!!

Minahan is a local favorite for many reasons. A few of the things I appreciate about Dr. Minahan are her ability to come from a place of compassion and empathy towards her patients, her perfectionism & her right hand & comrade, Rhonda. What a team! Every time I’ve entered the office, Im greeted with a smile & the most positive energy around. I’ve had two children successfully treated by Dr. Minahan & I just may be next to write my name on the wall 😉

Both of our daughters have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Minahan - she is incredibly kind, patient, professional and always takes whatever time is needed to make sure her patients are well taken care of. She also does an amazing job of making herself available outside of office hours when emergencies arise. Special shout-out to Ronda for keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes with the utmost professionalism and kindness! We can’t say enough good things about our experience with Dr. Minahan and her office.

Minahan Orthodontics is amazing. The orthodontist and the receptionist are both super kind and helpful. My smile was not really the best before and now it looks just great, I’m very grateful for the work they did. Five stars easily, if I could give more I would!

I had the best experience with Dr Minahan and Rhonda at Minahan orthodontics. Dr Minahan’s exam, interview, imaging and explanation of options and services were incredibly thorough and effective and the whole experience (including having a procedure) was remarkably smooth and pleasant. Highly recommend this team and office!

I cannot rave enough about Minahan Orthodontist. Dr. Minahan has taken care of both my boys and had better than expected results. My youngest son is excited when he has to go in for an appointment and has always left with a smile. Dr. Minahan and her right hand, Ronda are truly incredible and care for each one of their patients. They go over and beyond each and every time. Everytime we walk in, we are greeted by Ronda who is the most caring and loving woman. She always has the biggest smile and we can feel the sincerity and care for our family. Dr. Minahan is extremely knowledgeable and provides all the information we need to make decisions on treatments. I trust her judgment and truly appreciate the patience she’s had with both my children and us. To anyone needing orthodontist care, I highly recommend Dr. Minahan!

Precision-Focused Orthodontic Care

Smarter Treatment Planning From Start to Finish

Every smile starts with a clear plan. We take time to evaluate your bite, facial balance, and long-term goals before recommending Invisalign or braces. Your treatment is mapped step by step, so you understand what to expect, how long it will take, and what results are possible. That means fewer surprises and a smoother path to your new smile.
