Schedule An AppointmentAs the owner and sole orthodontist, Dr. Wood provides continuity of care that serves Brighton, NY orthodontic patients apart. Patients see the same trusted doctor at every appointment, ensuring consistency, efficiency, and a deeper understanding of their progress. Our intentionally small practice allows us to focus on quality over quantity, giving every patient the individualized care and attention they deserve—without the pressures of high-volume treatment.
We believe exceptional orthodontic care is built on communication, precision, and personalization. From your initial consultation through every phase of treatment, we prioritize transparency and patient education so you can make confident decisions about your smile. Our goal is to work alongside you to achieve optimal oral health and a confident, beautiful smile that lasts a lifetime.
In addition, we offer state-of-the-art braces that are more comfortable and effective than ever before. With advanced digital imaging and precise customization, our braces treatments are designed to improve efficiency and deliver outstanding results. Smaller, smoother brackets and modern techniques make treatment more convenient while maintaining powerful, reliable tooth movement. Our Brighton, NY patients benefit from a streamlined orthodontic experience and beautifully aligned, confident smiles.
Patients in Brighton, NY also benefit from advanced clear aligner therapy at Rochester Family Orthodontics. Using digital scanning and 3D treatment planning, we design highly accurate, efficient treatment plans that fit seamlessly into your daily routine. While Invisalign is widely recognized, modern clear aligner systems continue to evolve, offering unique advantages in comfort and performance. Teens and adults can enjoy a discreet, flexible orthodontic solution with fewer office visits and predictable results.
Close enough to walk from parts of it. We're at 255 Westfall Rd, Suite B, a few minutes from Twelve Corners and beside the Strong Memorial campus.
It's worth a free second look. General dentists can provide aligners, and some do it well. An orthodontist does nothing else: two to three extra years of training in moving teeth and correcting bites, and in Dr. Wood's case, board certification and a decade of aligner cases on top of that. Either way, your dentist stays part of the team; we coordinate cleanings and checkups throughout treatment.
Yes, and plenty of your coworkers already do. The office is a few minutes from the medical campus, adjustment visits are short, and aligner checkups are shorter still. Call (585) 371-6652 and tell us when your're available; we'll find a convenient appointment time for you.
You have a few good options. Spark clear aligners are a newer alternative to Invisalign (Dr. Wood has been a certified Invisalign provider for over ten years), clear ceramic braces that blend with your teeth. Which one Dr. Wood suggests depends on your case, and she'll listen to your input on what you prefer at your free consultation.
Because Dr. Wood is a board certified orthodontist, a credential fewer than 30% of orthodontists earn, and she teaches residents part time at the Eastman Institute for Oral Health. As the only doctor in the practice, she is the one adjusting your braces at every single visit. And she charges the same fee for clear aligners as for braces, so the recommendation is never about the price tag.
