Our Orthodontic Specialities
This proven teeth-straightening method is more advanced than ever, featuring low-profile brackets for precision and comfort. For those seeking a more discreet option, our nearly invisible clear braces offer the perfect solution, giving you the benefits of braces without the noticeable appearance.
You no longer need the look or feel of braces to achieve your ideal smile, or to bring back your youthful grin. Our clear aligners provide outstanding results, often in less time than traditional braces, all while being virtually invisible!
Palatal Expansion and Airway
Snoring and sleep apnea comes from poor airflow and overall sleep quality. Treatment with expansion helps by adressing airway obstructions. Expanding the palate and improving the nasal airway, we help alleviate breathing issues and prevent long-term complications, promoting better sleep and overall health.

Vanya BoardmanSeptember 9, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tony & the entire team at Phillips Family Orthodontics made the act of getting braces stress free. We’re excited to straighten these teeth! Ronik DelgadoSeptember 1, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Phillips and his team are exceptional not only as practitioners but as caring individuals, i’ve been in orthodontic treatment since 2023 and gone to several orthodontists and as time went other locations seemed to value and care for their patients less over time at dr. Phillips office it quite the opposite where everyone there is friendly and kind and makes you feel welcome. that i believe is the most remarkable part of this practice from the orthodontic assistant to the front desk, and not to mention dr Phillips expert work and planning as well as well as his ability to listen to patient needs and establishing great outcomes while making sure you are taking care of. I could not recommend this practice more. Rylie SasherAugust 12, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So very pleased with our experience here. The dentist to the coordinator was so wonderful and accommodating and gentle with my son. We got his braces on today and we are very happy with the results so far. Tony, Jay and Dr. Phillips were the best today. -Nychole & Abel carl comiaAugust 6, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you Tony and Jay for putting on my braces you guys are da goats Natalie PowersJuly 20, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional and friendly office! When there were options that were for aesthetics only that I wasn’t interested in, Dr. Phillips always answered my questions and didn’t try to pressure me into more treatment than I wanted or needed. I would highly recommend this office to anyone needing orthodontic care! Edit: Now more than a year later after I've moved, I reached out for some assistance with a broken retainer. The office treated me as if I was still living in San Diego and coming in regularly, I got quick and personal responses. Big thank you to the whole team! jollifree panalJuly 20, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It’s been a week since I got my braces removed, and I’m so happy with the results! Tony made the whole process of removing my braces quick, smooth, and completely painless. He was kind, gentle, and made me feel comfortable the entire time. I love my new smile and I’m finally enjoying all my favorite foods again. Thank you, Tony, and the entire Phillips family, for taking such great care of me throughout my braces journey. I’m very happy with my experience and have no regrets about choosing Phillips Orthodontics. I highly recommend them! Mrs. RaiewskiJuly 15, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. All of the orthodontists here are absolutely awesome! They take their time to let the kids know exactly what’s gonna happen and they do everything they can to make the whole process as comfortable as possible. I really appreciated that when my daughter had a problem with her Mara device that the dentist opened up late on a weekend to make sure that everything was fine and that she was comfortable and no longer in pain. That type of care is top-notch and exactly what one would hope for when going through the whole braces procedure. While my children are still in the braces, I have full faith that their teeth are going to look beautiful by the time we are done.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
