There are a lot of orthodontists in the Phoenix metro. Finding one is easy. Finding one you actually trust to give you a straight answer, take the time to explain what your teeth actually need, and then deliver on it is harder. Nathan Davis Orthodontics has been doing exactly that in the East Valley since 2001.
Dr. Nathan Davis grew up in Mesa, trained at Tufts University in Boston, and came home to carry on a family orthodontic tradition that started over 50 years ago. The consultation is free, there is no pressure, and you leave knowing exactly what treatment makes sense for your situation.

What Actually Happens at Your First Visit
The consultation is where most patients realize they have been overthinking this. Here is what to expect:
A real exam, not a sales pitch. Dr. Davis examines your teeth, bite, and jaw structure and tells you what he actually sees, not what he thinks you want to hear.
Options explained clearly. If multiple treatments could work for your case, Dr. Davis walks through each one: how they work, how long they take, and which he would recommend and why.
A digital scan if you proceed. The iTero scanner replaces messy impressions with a precise 3D model of your teeth built in minutes.
Full cost and payment breakdown. No vague estimates. You leave knowing exactly what treatment costs and what payment options are available.
No pressure to decide on the day. Dr. Davis and the team give you everything you need to make a good decision on your own timeline.
Treatment Options: Matched to Your Case, Not the Trend
Nathan Davis Orthodontics offers every major orthodontic option available. What distinguishes the practice is that Dr. Davis matches the treatment to the patient, not the other way around. The full range is available at davissmiles.com/treatments.
Invisalign and SureSmile: Clear, removable aligners for teens and adults. Planned digitally with the iTero scanner for precise, predictable movement.
Traditional metal braces: The most time-tested and versatile option. Handles any case with reliable precision.
Damon and Damon Clear: Self-ligating braces that reduce friction, typically shorten treatment time, and require fewer adjustment visits.
Lingual braces: Bonded to the inside of the teeth, completely invisible from the outside. Dr. Davis is one of a small number of Phoenix-area orthodontists credentialed to offer them.
Ceramic braces: Tooth-colored brackets with the same mechanics as metal, substantially less visible.
On lingual braces: Most orthodontic practices in the Phoenix metro do not offer lingual braces because they require additional specialized training and certification. Dr. Davis has both. For adults in professional or public-facing roles who need effective treatment with zero visible hardware, this is worth knowing.
Dr. Nathan Davis, DDS, earned his dental degree from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco and completed his Certificate in Orthodontics and orthodontic residency at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston.
