Parrish Orthodontics

Parrish Orthodontics is a well-established orthodontic clinic with multiple locations across Fort Wayne, Indiana, and in parts of Ohio. The practice is dedicated to providing high-quality orthodontic care for patients of all ages, from children and teens to adults. Their services encompass a comprehensive range of orthodontic solutions, including traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces for a more discreet appearance, and Invisalign clear aligners. Beyond traditional teeth straightening, Parrish Orthodontics also addresses more complex oral health issues such as sleep apnea and temporomandibular joint (TMJ/TMD) disorders. They offer dentofacial orthopedics to guide facial growth and development in children, surgical orthodontics for severe bite and jaw alignment problems, and craniofacial orthodontics for patients with jaw and face abnormalities, often working in conjunction with other specialists. Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) are also utilized for precise tooth movement. The clinic is led by a team of experienced orthodontists, notably Dr. Laura Parrish, Dr. Brandon Parrish, and Dr. Kate Welch. Dr. Laura Parrish and Dr. Brandon Parrish, who are married and met in dental school, had a long-standing dream of combining their practices, which they achieved with Parrish Orthodontics. Dr. Kate Welch, also an Indiana University School of Dentistry graduate, joined their team, further enhancing their expertise. The doctors and their staff are highly regarded for their professionalism, kindness, and commitment to making each patient's experience comfortable and rewarding. Patient testimonials frequently highlight the friendly atmosphere, efficient appointments, and the personalized attention received. The clinic emphasizes a "family-like" approach, ensuring patients feel cared for from consultation to the completion of their treatment. They prioritize staying updated with the latest orthodontic technology and techniques to provide effective and comfortable care, focusing on both aesthetics and long-term oral health.
