Dr. JAW

Early orthodontic interventions address developing issues in children aged 5-9. By correcting problems early, we often reduce treatment duration, cost, and complexity. Our approach includes developmental monitoring, bite correction, and palatal expansion to guide proper jaw growth and tooth eruption.

We offer American-made self-ligating braces for kids, teens, and adults. These braces provide faster treatment, easier cleaning, and increased comfort. Options include color braces, clear braces, and lingual braces that are virtually hidden while delivering effective results.

Our Invisalign treatments use clear, removable aligners for discreet teeth straightening. As Invisalign VIP Diamond Plus providers, we offer expert care for children, teens, and adults. This technology allows for effective alignment without traditional brackets while maintaining oral hygiene.

Palatal expanders create proper space in growing mouths to improve dental alignment and airway function. This treatment addresses narrow palates in children, preventing more complex issues later. Our approach focuses on guiding natural development for better long-term outcomes.

We provide specialized care for temporomandibular joint disorders. Our treatments address jaw pain, clicking, and discomfort through orthodontic interventions. This service combines expertise in bite alignment and joint function to improve patients' quality of life.

As an adult, Dr. Jaw actually got me excited about getting braces again. They have a fun way of encouraging their patients and I look forward completing my braces journey with them!

The staff that does the dental work is super. Ice, but they are definitely a price gouging shop. They are very expensive to begin with, and their financial folks are trained to do whatever it takes to try to get you to avoid using your insurance, as they don't want to take the markdown most insurance companies negotiate, thereby lowering what the orthodontist can charge the patient/insurance. If I had the time, or couldn't afford it, I'd definitely go elsewhere.

Happy with the end result of my sons braces treatment, Dr Rabe began the treatment but over the 18+ months we saw all orthodontists and all were great.

My daughter and I have both been to Dr. Weaver for TMJ evaluations and treatments. I have been to doctors, dentists, and even other orthodontists about my clicking and locking jaw for years and had just given up. I finally called around again when my jaw had been locked open again for over a month and Dr. Jaw could get me in. He got it relaxed, assured me that wasn't always possible and sent me home to let it rest.

Then had me come back in and in moments had felt around and had me opening and closing without clicking, while putting pressure on certain spots of course. He recommended a specific kind of brace and I now wear it and things are great! He is amazing! Like I said when my daughter started having a similar problem I took her straight to Dr. Jaw right away! The office is always clean, the patients are always happy, the staff is so friendly and upbeat. I enjoy every single visit.

Dr. Robison was excellent. She was patient, honest and compassionate. This was my second time getting braces and I would do it again under her care. I appreciated her level of support and the amount of educational tips/information she would give me during my treatment process. Dr. Jaws Orthodontist is by far the best orthodontist office in Tucson.

Dr. Jaw is the bomb as far as I am concerned! 3 kids received their braces from Dr. Jaw. The staff is friendly and helpful and Dr. Laura and Dr. Kyle are the kindest people you will meet. They take their time with each patient and make sure their teeth are doing just what they need to do to have that fabulous smile! Rosi the office manager is helpful and soft spoken and knows the business inside and out. Clean and Covid safe too! You won't be sorry if you chose Dr. Jaw for all your Orthodontic needs. We love them and they always have awesome music playing to ease your anxiety while being treated.
