Expert Orthodontist

Our resident orthodontic expert, Dr. Clif Speaks, is passionate about designing custom smiles for every patient who sits in our chairs. If orthodontics is an art, Dr. Speaks is a master artist with a knack for perfecting grins. A true jack-of-all-trades, our doctor, delivers flawless results with years of schooling and extensive training under his belt. With experience as a general dentist and intimate knowledge of oral surgery and hospital-based orthodontics, he truly is the best person to guide you along the path to a better smile. Dr. Speaks never met a stranger and always takes the time to get to know his patients and their needs. To spot him around the office, just look for the person wearing the awesome Vans!

The Extra Mile

At our office, we understand that no two patients are alike. This is why we go the extra mile to make every patient feel like family. We give you the service we would want to receive and the care you deserve. We want our patients to leave their appointments feeling like they’re known, and their needs are understood. Dr. Speaks and the rest of our team are driven to craft a treatment that is customized to you, and this begins with an open dialogue about your expectations for your smile and our recommendations to make your dream a reality. We offer authentic opinions that are based on a desire to best serve our community rather than best serve ourselves.

Lives Changed

Never one to shy away from an adventure, Dr. Speaks uses his hospital-based orthodontics background to tackle even the most challenging cases. We once had a patient who was told by others that perfecting her smile was not a possibility. When she visited our office, we were able to not only set her natural teeth in place but restore her confidence. Having a smile, you’re proud to wear isn’t a small feat and can even change the way you carry yourself. We remember these success stories not because they were a job well done but because lives were changed.

Community Involvement

We aim not only in the community but for our community. We invest our time and resources back into our surrounding areas through philanthropic efforts. The Speaks Orthodontics team has a passion for reaching beyond our walls and making a difference in the area we call home. The culture we’ve created both in the office and out of the office is one of genuine care for our neighbors and their wellbeing. This is reflected in our treatments as well as our actions outside of operating hours.

Cutting-Edge Technology

While we take pride in being able to give back to our community, this sense of responsibility to deliver excellence begins at home. When you visit our office, you will benefit from the best technology available in our field. We place a high priority on being on the cutting-edge of orthodontics with a highly trained staff who are well suited to best use these devices. With technology such as digital treatment simulation and CBCT scanner, we have the tools to give you the best treatment around. Generalized care isn’t something we believe in, and we strive to continuously improve as our field evolves so that we may deliver customized care.

Caring Team

Feeling like you don’t have the best oral health or smile possible can weigh you down. At Speaks Orthodontics, we remove this weight off people’s shoulders and uplift them through honest practices and a caring staff. Our goal is to make your life better, not push you into treatment. Dr. Speaks believes in making treatment decisions based on your needs and what he’s learned during his vast experience. With the foundation of general dentistry and the specialization of an orthodontist, he knows how to navigate your treatment so that you get what you want as well as what you need.

Through advanced technology, we are able to provide you with a treatment plan that is efficient without losing any personalization. These improvements paired with an orthodontist who has gone to great lengths to be one of the top experts in the field give you an amazing experience that ends with you having a beautiful smile that lasts a lifetime.

Alex A.
They did such an amazing job with my Invisalign, so happy with it!
Response from the owner:Alex, thank you! We are so happy you are happy, and we appreciate you taking the time to share it.
Chau P.
I’ve experienced 4 different orthodontists for my kids and Speaks is undeniably the best. Such thorough, smart and detailed care for my son. Can’t recommend him enough!
Response from the owner:Thank you for such kind words, Chau. Thorough, detailed care for every family is what we work hardest at, and we appreciate the recommendation.
Jj W.
We come to speaks orthodontics for both of our kids more often than we would like. However, if you have to come someplace this often, this is a great place to visit. The staff is very friendly, they are accommodating with schedule changes and last minute issues. Dr Speaks is very charismatic and friendly!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words. If you have to be somewhere often, we want it to feel like this.
Maddie C.
Insanely amazing. I had gone to 3 other orthodontists to get checked, and Dr. Speaks was the only one that was completely frank with what needs to be done and what the timeline would be. Other people told me it would take 6 months, which would not have solved my bite problem. Dr. Speaks told me 15 months, and although that is not what you want to hear, it was the truth and the team did a fantastic job. They also use angel aligners instead of invisalign which maintain their clearness throughout the process. I couldn’t be happier and I felt it was well worth the price. THANK YOU SPEAKS TEAM you all are the best!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much. We are glad Dr. Speaks was completely frank with you, and we appreciate you choosing our team.
Stephanie S.
Great place to get straight teeth for children, teens and adults. Personable and professional staff and exceptionally clean and welcoming environment. Both of my children have beautiful aligned teeth and I’m almost done with my treatment as well! We love Dr. Speaks and would recommend his orthodontic practice to anyone seeking a beautiful smile!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Stephanie. We are glad our staff were personable and professional and that you found our environment clean and welcoming.
Cheresa C.
All 3 of my kids have or are being treated here. Great experience with each one. The front desk is diligent about keeping all appointments on time. Courteous when needing to adjust appointments. Dr Speaks and all the staff in the back are professional yet approachable. Dr Speaks is honest about his opinion and approach. I appreciate knowing I am getting services only what is needed and not getting “sold” extras. I would recommend 10/10
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to share your five-star experience with us. We truly appreciate your kind words and support. Providing a welcoming and positive environment is always our highest priority.
Jax S.
My daughter had a very noticeable crossbite and was constantly biting her cheeks while chewing. Our previous orthodontist attempted to get her approved for braces through insurance, but after the initial denial, they told us it wasn’t worth appealing. Thankfully, our new dentist referred us to Dr. Speaks. From the very first visit, Dr. Speaks immediately recognized the issue and took the time to thoroughly explain the problem, the treatment process, and what we could expect. His team submitted the insurance claim, and when it was denied, they didn’t stop there. They fought for us by filing a strong appeal and resubmitting all the necessary documentation. Thanks to their persistence and attention to detail, my daughter was approved and is now on her way to a beautiful new smile. We are incredibly grateful to Dr. Speaks and his entire team, especially Dahlia for their dedication and hard work. Beyond getting the insurance approval, they treat every patient with genuine kindness, patience, and respect. We’re so happy our paths crossed with this wonderful practice! Highly recommend.
Response from the owner:We are thrilled to hear that you found our staff to be kind and accommodating. Our team works diligently to ensure everyone has a comfortable experience from start to finish. Thank you for the review.
Maya Q.
They are so great! Incredibly thorough, easy to book with, and work with your schedule!
