Request a free consultationOur care philosophy
A practice built around the person in the chair.
Our mission at Persell & Brockman Orthodontics is to lead with professionalism and a commitment to excellence, treating every patient with the same integrity, respect, and heart that we would want for our own families, friends, and neighbors.
Personal care
Dr. Persell & Dr. Brockman plan and perform your treatment themselves, so the person who knows your case is the person in the chair with you.
Clear guidance
Straightforward diagnostics, honest options, and transparent pricing before anything begins.
Confident smiles
Results built on orthodontic biomechanics, careful planning, and steady follow-through.
Every age
Orthodontics for children, teens, and adults.
Early intervention
Children
A first orthodontic check around age 7 lets us monitor growth and step in only when timing makes treatment simpler and shorter.
The classic years
Teens
Braces designed for busy schedules and school sports, with visits planned around real life and progress you can see.
Any age
Adults
Discreet, efficient treatment for crowding, spacing, bite issues, or teeth that have shifted after earlier orthodontics.
Your orthodontists
Specialty-trained doctors, personal care.
Your treatment is diagnosed and performed by an orthodontist — from the first records to the final retainer check.

Treatments
Proven options, chosen for your case.
Metal braces
Low-profile modern brackets — the most versatile, predictable way to correct alignment and bite.
Ceramic braces
Tooth-colored brackets for patients who want a subtler look with the same control.
Invisalign / Clear Aligners
A removable, discreet option for appropriate cases — clear trays that straighten teeth without brackets or wires.
Early / growth-guided care
Expanders and interceptive treatment that use a child's growth rather than working against it.
Retention
Retainers, monitoring, and follow-up so your result holds after treatment ends.
Technology
Digital impressions. No goopy molds.
Our offices are equipped with the latest state-of-the-art technology such as the iTero Lumina™ by Align Technology, which not only enhances the patient experience but elevates clinical precision through digital scans. Say goodbye to unpleasant physical molds – with optimized connectivity, the iTero intraoral scanning system is perfect for patients using appliances or Invisalign aligners!
Using a digital scanner, we will take three-dimensional (3-D) digital images, or impressions, of your teeth and bite. These impressions will help us formulate a personalized treatment plan that meets your specific orthodontic needs and desires. We can also use them to visually show you your treatment options and help us keep you up-to-date on your treatment progress. After your specific treatment plan has been chosen, the digital impressions allow us to create customized aligner trays and appliances, with increased efficiency and overall effectiveness.
