Orthodontist in Centerville, UT
Two specialist orthodontic offices, about seven minutes either direction. Braces and Invisalign for kids, teens, and adults. Free consultations at both.
Looking for an orthodontist near Centerville? There isn't a full-service specialist office inside city limits, but Bailey-Welling Orthodontics serves Centerville families daily from two locations just minutes away.
Our Farmington office is about seven minutes north on Main Street. Our Bountiful office is about seven minutes south on Pages Lane. Most Centerville families pick whichever side of town their day already runs through, and plenty switch back and forth depending on the week. We offer braces and Invisalign for kids, teens, and adults at both offices.
That flexibility, plus care from specialist orthodontists rather than general dentists who also offer braces, is why families across Centerville have been making one of these two short drives for over 50 years.

Two Offices, Seven Minutes Either Direction From Centerville
Most Centerville families end up picking their office based on something practical: which way they're already driving that day.
The Farmington office on State Street puts you near Station Park, the Lagoon corridor, and games at Founders Park or Heritage Park. Easy to fold in after work or practice. Quick from Reading Elementary, too.
The Bountiful office on Pages Lane is a straight shot down US-89 or I-15, close to South Davis Recreation Center and the shopping along 500 South. Convenient if you're picking up at Centerville Elementary or commuting toward Salt Lake.
If you're at Centerville Junior High, either office works. Most parents check the Parrish Lane and I-15 interchange traffic before deciding.
Quick local tip for the 5 PM rush. The Parrish Lane and I-15 interchange backs up between roughly 4:30 and 6:00 on weekdays. Heading north to Farmington during that window? Legacy Parkway is usually smoother. Heading south to Bountiful? Dropping down to Main Street often beats fighting Parrish Lane at the freeway. Locals know these workarounds. Now you do too.
Drive time from most Centerville neighborhoods to either office runs about 6 to 10 minutes, depending on traffic at Parrish Lane. Whether you're near Founders Park, off Main Street, or up closer to the Centerville foothills, both offices are an easy run. Same patients, same doctors, same technology, same pricing at both. You're not picking one over the other based on quality. You're picking based on which one fits your Tuesday.
Orthodontist vs. Dentist for Braces in Centerville: What's the Difference?
This comes up a lot in consultations with Centerville families, especially when they've gotten a quote from their family dentist and want to know whether it's the same thing. It's not the same thing, and the difference matters.
A general dentist completes four years of dental school and is trained to handle teeth cleanings, fillings, crowns, root canals, and routine dental work. Some general dentists also offer braces or Invisalign as an added service.
An orthodontist completes those same four years of dental school, then completes an additional two to three years of full-time residency focused entirely on moving teeth, correcting bites, and managing jaw development. That residency is competitive and limited. There are roughly nine dentists for every one orthodontist in the United States.
| General Dentist | Orthodontist | |
|---|---|---|
| Dental school | 4 years | 4 years |
| Orthodontic residency | No | Yes, 2 to 3 additional years |
| Primary daily work | Cleanings, fillings, crowns, routine care | Moving teeth, correcting bites, jaw development |
| Trained for complex cases | Limited | Yes |
| Trained to plan tooth movement & predict bite outcomes | Limited | Yes, full residency focus |
This isn't a knock on general dentists. There are excellent family dentists right on Main Street in Centerville, and we work with them every day. Your dentist handles cleanings, fillings, crowns, and routine care, and you should keep seeing yours for all of that. The specialist question only comes up when teeth need to move, bites need to be corrected, or jaw development needs to be monitored. That's the line.
Orthodontic Treatments We Offer Centerville Families
Same treatments at both offices. Same doctors at both offices. Same pricing at both offices.
Braces for Kids, Teens & Adults
Our P21 self-ligating brackets use a slide mechanism instead of elastic ties, which reduces friction and lets teeth move more freely. For a discreet look, Iconix champagne-colored brackets are available and priced the same as traditional metal.

Invisalign
Bailey-Welling is Davis County's Diamond+ Invisalign Provider, the highest designation Invisalign awards. That means more cases and more experience with clear aligners than anyone in the area. We treat all complexities with Invisalign, including overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites, and it's available starting at age 7.
Invisalign for CentervilleEarly Treatment & the 7 & Up Kids Club
The AAO recommends a first evaluation by age 7. Most kids won't start treatment then. An early exam tells you whether anything's developing that needs attention while there's still jaw growth to work with. Free monitoring between visits.
About the 7 & Up Kids ClubTeen Orthodontics
Most orthodontic patients are teenagers, and both braces and Invisalign Teen work well for that age group. Which one is right depends on the case, the kid, and what fits their life.
Teen orthodonticsAdult Orthodontics
If you're an adult who's been putting this off, you're not too old. We treat plenty of patients in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond, and Invisalign is often preferred by working adults.
Adult orthodonticsAirway Orthodontics
We screen for airway-related concerns during evaluations, particularly in kids. That includes mouth breathing, narrow upper arches, restless sleep, and tongue posture. We're careful about what orthodontics can and can't do here.
Airway orthodonticsHow Much Does Treatment Cost for Centerville Families?
Most orthodontic websites won't put numbers on the page. We will. At Bailey-Welling, braces, Invisalign, and Iconix are all priced the same.
Two kids from the same Centerville neighborhood, same age, both needing braces, can have treatment costs that differ by more than $1,000 based on what's actually going on in their mouths. Your exact cost is determined at your free consultation, with insurance benefits already applied before you see any numbers.
What Happens at Your First Visit
A lot of Centerville families schedule a consultation, sit on it for a week, and never come in because they don't know what they're walking into. Here's exactly what happens.
Warm welcome. Our front desk team greets you and gets you settled in. No clipboard wall of paperwork before you talk to anyone.
Photos and digital X-rays. Including a 3D iTero scan, panoramic imaging, and cephalometric X-rays. The iTero scan is a small handheld wand that builds a precise 3D model of your teeth in a few minutes. No physical impressions, and the model is accurate enough that your aligners or appliances fit correctly from day one.
Personal exam by Dr. Welling or Dr. Rett. Not a treatment coordinator. The actual treating orthodontist examines your teeth and bite, walks you through what they see, the options, and how long treatment would take.
Complete financial breakdown. Insurance benefits already factored in, payment plan options explained, total cost with no surprises.
The whole consultation runs about an hour. There's no commitment, no high-pressure pitch, and you leave with a clear picture of what treatment would look like. Same-day starts are available if you're ready to go.
Meet Your Orthodontists
Two full-time specialist orthodontists. The same doctors see patients at both offices. Between them, Dr. Welling and Dr. Rett have treated thousands of orthodontic cases across Davis County.
Dr. Andrew Welling
DDS, MS in Orthodontics · University of IowaBorn and raised in Bountiful. Graduated summa cum laude from BYU, then completed his orthodontic residency and Master's at the University of Iowa.

Dr. Rett Cortez
Dental Degree · University of Utah · Residency, Loma LindaFocused on the emotional side of smile transformations and on building long-term patient relationships. Believes a confident smile has the power to change lives.
Read Dr. Rett's full bioBailey-Welling Orthodontics was founded by Dr. Grant Bailey in 1971 and has been in Davis County continuously since. Dr. Bailey is a board-certified orthodontist by the American Board of Orthodontics, a voluntary credential that requires passing rigorous written and clinical examinations beyond the standard requirements to practice. He's semi-retired today, but the practice he built is the reason families in Centerville have had a specialist orthodontic option this close for over 50 years.
When You Probably Don't Need Us Yet
We aren't the right call for everyone, and we'd rather tell you that at the free consultation than three months into treatment.
Plenty of parents come in worried about something they noticed, and the honest answer is "let's watch it." Our 7 & Up Kids Club exists for this. Free monitoring visits. No pressure to start braces because the calendar says "age 7." If your kid doesn't need treatment now, we'll tell you and check back in a year.
Mail-in aligners that skip the doctor exam aren't a service we offer or recommend. If price is the only thing driving the decision and you're set on that route, we're probably not your fit. If you want to talk through why we don't do it that way, the consultation is still free.
Sometimes active retention through normal growth is enough. It happens. We'll tell you. The goal isn't to put braces on every kid in Centerville. The goal is to recommend treatment when it actually changes the outcome.
Saying "you don't need us yet" is one of the most useful things a specialist can do. Most of our long-term patients started with a "come back in 18 months" answer from us years before they started treatment.
Why Centerville Families Drive to Bailey-Welling
The reasons patients give in their reviews aren't about technology or credentials. They're about how it felt to be treated here. Warm front desk, doctors who explain things plainly, and a team that remembers your name.
That experience is the same whether you're a parent bringing in a 7-year-old, a teen getting braces before high school, or an adult finally fixing something you've thought about for 20 years.
Most patients reach one of our offices in under 10 minutes from Centerville. Same doctors, same care, same pricing at both.
Davis County's highest-tier designation. More Invisalign experience than any other practice in the area, all complexities treated.
Not a general dentist who also does braces. Two doctors with residency training focused entirely on orthodontics.
Complete cost breakdown at your free consultation, insurance applied before you see numbers. No teaser rates.
Patients mention this constantly. Reach us with questions between appointments without waiting on hold.
Parents who were patients here as kids now bring their own kids in. That's what happens after 50 years in a community.
What Centerville-Area Families Are Saying
Centerville Orthodontist FAQ
Is there an orthodontist actually located in Centerville?
There isn't a full-service specialist orthodontic office inside Centerville city limits. Most Centerville families drive a few minutes to nearby specialists, and the two closest options are our Bountiful office (about seven minutes south on Pages Lane) and our Farmington office (about seven minutes north on State Street). Both are staffed by the same doctors and offer the same treatments at the same prices.
What's the difference between an orthodontist and a dentist who offers braces?
A general dentist completes four years of dental school. An orthodontist completes those same four years plus an additional two to three years of full-time residency focused entirely on tooth movement, bite correction, and jaw development. For straightforward cases the difference may not show up immediately, but for complex cases, growth-related issues, and long-term retention, the residency training matters.
Which Bailey-Welling office should Centerville families pick?
Whichever fits your day. The Farmington office on State Street is about seven minutes north, easy to reach if you're already heading toward Station Park or Lagoon. The Bountiful office on Pages Lane is about seven minutes south, convenient if you commute toward Salt Lake. You can switch between offices appointment to appointment. Same doctors at both.
Do you treat kids, teens, and adults?
Yes, all three. The AAO recommends a first evaluation by age 7, and we treat patients into their 60s and beyond. Our 7 & Up Kids Club monitors developing kids at no cost between visits, and we have dedicated information for teen and adult orthodontics.
How much do braces cost for Centerville families?
Treatment starts around $2,800 for shorter cases and minor corrections. Most patients fall between $3,000 and $7,500 depending on case complexity and treatment length. Braces, Invisalign, and Iconix are all priced the same at Bailey-Welling. Your free consultation includes a complete cost breakdown with insurance benefits already applied.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Most cases run between 12 and 24 months, but it varies widely. Shorter cases with minor corrections can wrap in under 6 months. More complex cases involving bite correction or growth modification can run 24 to 30 months. At your free consultation, Dr. Welling or Dr. Rett will give you a realistic timeline based on what's actually happening with your teeth.
Should I choose Invisalign or braces?
Neither is universally better. At Bailey-Welling, both are priced the same, so the decision is clinical, not financial. Braces tend to be stronger for younger kids, more complex bite corrections, and cases needing maximum control. Invisalign works well for adults and motivated teens who want a discreet, removable option. We treat all complexities with both, and your free consultation will tell you which fits your case.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes, most major dental insurance plans. We verify your benefits and apply them to your treatment cost before you see any numbers, so the total already accounts for what insurance covers.
Is the first consultation really free?
Yes. The full evaluation, X-rays, 3D iTero scan, doctor exam, and complete financial breakdown are all included at no cost and no obligation. Most families leave knowing whether to start treatment now, later, or not at all.
Can I start treatment the same day as my consultation?
Often, yes. Same-day starts are available for patients who are ready to go after their consultation. Not required, never pressured, but available if you don't want to come back for a separate appointment.
