About Smile Doctors
Founded in 2015 by Doctors Scott Law, Dana Fender, and Greg Goggans, Smile Doctors is an orthodontic service organization (OSO) that brings together orthodontists and teams from across the country who believe in a people-first culture.
Our team members are committed to excellence in care within our communities and provide all-inclusive orthodontic treatments to patients that result in beautiful, confident smiles and genuine, unforgettable experiences.
Our practices are owned by licensed orthodontists who, via our tools, network, and technology, can focus entirely on their patients—all while enjoying resources and systems designed to help our doctors succeed.
Smile Doctors is the largest network of Diamond Plus Invisalign® providers. Smile Doctors orthodontists are proud members of the American Association of Orthodontists, American Dental Association, and host for the Lecture Center for Orthodontic Excellence. Our mission is to create confident smiles that inspire the best in our patients, each other, and the communities we serve.
