Services
Dental problems related to jaw growth get worse, not better, with time. Because they are growing rapidly, young children benefit enormously from appliances which balance the relationship between the upper and lower jaws, and develop room for erupting permanent teeth. This does not mean you are being treated twice it means your treatment is divided into two stages!
Though an orthodontist can enhance a smile at any age, there is an optimal time period to begin treatment, ensuring the greatest result with the least amount of treatment time and expense. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that the initial orthodontic evaluation should occur at the first sign of orthodontic problems or no later than age 7.
Braces aren't just for kids anymore. Tooth alignment can be changed at any age if your gums and bone structure are healthy. We offer a variety of treatments that are designed for different age groups - including adults. A new smile can begin today. Orthodontic treatment at later stages in life can dramatically improve your personal appearance and self-esteem.
We offer SomnoDent appliances to reposition the lower jaw forward to reduce and eliminate snoring. These appliances are custom-made for each patient, and then are gradually adjusted to bring the lower jaw forward enough to eliminate snoring. Sleep apnea is a serious medical condition diagnosed by a sleep study.
When we remove your braces, we will begin the retention phase of your treatment. The active retention phase lasts for a minimum of 6 months, but we will continue to monitor and follow you for many years without additional cost. Your final orthodontic result depends on your retainers, so it is important to follow through with the hard work you've put in.

Doc Morrill is the best! I went to him 30 years ago for a retainer to straighten my bottom teeth. Now 30 years later I contacted him for a night guard. He actually remembered me! I drove all the way from Marin just to see him. He is always on time and never rushed answering all questions. His staff is awesome too!!!

There are not enough stars to give Dr. Morrill the rating that he deserves!

We were referred to him by our dentist nearly 30 years ago when my (now) husband wanted to perfect his smile at the age of 29. My husband's teeth looked very good to me before, but with a bit of tinkering, were absolutely "Colgate smile" perfect, and the price very reasonable.

After seeing the results he had achieved with my husband, I went for a consult, as my teeth are very far from perfect. Dr. Morrill was totally up front and transparent about what it would take to improve them. In summary, 3

My wife has been helped by Dr. Morrill over the past few years. Her experience has been so positive that I am writing this review to give credit.

During her first visit Dr. Morrill suggested that he document the current state of her potential orthodontic needs and then wait a year to see if intervention was warranted. He didn't seem at all interested in signing her up for some long and expensive course of therapy. His office staff made a note to call my wife in a year to remind her.

After that year, my wife did receive the call and made an appointment to see Dr. Morrill. At that time

I saw Dr. Morrill years ago when I was a student and broke my retainers. His staff were really kind and patient! They helped me with getting a new mold and replacement retainers

They were very understanding of my situation and his only charged me the at cost price materials for the mold and not the visit. When I later visited my original orthodontist back home, he commented on how well made and a remarkably low price for the replacement. Highly recommend him to anyone!

Dr. Morrill is simply amazing. He has guided me to the perfect set of teeth that I am proud to own. I highly recommend his services. Every time I am complimented by my smile I pass along Dr. Morrill's information. Although my braces are off, I am a lifetime patient going to annual check ups to ensure perfection. Dr. Morrill has done amazing orthodontic work on every member of my family. We owe everything to Dr. Morrill and could not imagine seeing anyone else, I can not thank him and his staff enough.

Dr. Morrill is truly fantastic. He was my orthodontist when I was in high school. Then nearly 20 years passed and my teeth had begun to shift around. I dreaded what might be required to get my teeth back in shape, but I decided to look up Dr. Morrill since I remembered having a surprisingly positive experience back in the day. Amazingly, Dr. Morrill was able to get things in order with just a few minor tweaks! And it was super comforting to know that he was still there after all those years. He had to go deep into the archives, but still had my records on file! Going to see him really is

Saw Dr. Morrill and was very happy I found him. I had initial consultations with several other orthodontists and most of them would not tell me what I needed done unless I took x-rays and came in for further check-ups. I imagined they wanted to squeeze a few bucks out of me even if I wasn't going to get treatment from them. Dr. Morrill was friendly, patient, and honest. He carefully explained to me what I needed based on his experience. Overall, it felt like stepping back in time, when doctors and dentists weren't in such a hurry to usher you through your visit. For this much care and

I don't think you could find a more caring and dedicated orthodontist anywhere. He always goes the extra mile to make sure you understand what you are about to undertake and then is there for you every inch of the way for the whole process. He not only treated my daughter years ago, but now is treating two of our grandchildren. He relates well to adults and children, treating them with respect and kindness. He is taking new patients, but never forgets his old patients. We are so fortunate to have him practicing in our community! As you can see from other reviews, people come from all

Dr. Morrill is the BEST! I was born with perfectly straight teeth. When I turned forty my bottom teeth started to overlap. I visited several different Doctors. Some wanted to charge me as much as five thousand to seven thousand dollars to have full braces put on and the treatment would last several years. Then I met my savor Dr. Morrill. His bed side manner is wonderful. He is kind and conservative. He said that he could fix the problem with retainers that I would have to wear full time for only six months then after that I would only wear them at night. The total charge for a life time of treatment

I highly recommend Dr Morrill for orthodontia! He is the orthodontist that dentists send their children to. I was surprised to see my dentist waiting for her children when I went for my appointment!

His fee is also very competitive and he accepts monthly payments. His fee was so much lower than other orthodontist I had visited that it was a very pleasant surprise, especially considering his experience.

I highly, HIGHLY recommend Dr. Morrill! I receive many compliments on my smile and for that I can thank Dr. Morrill's meticulous work. He's not satisfied until your teeth are exactly perfect (famous words of Dr. Morrill: "Another few weeks and we'll have it all wrapped up...") You can tell he loves his work. My mother and brother are also happy past clients of Dr. Morrill.

Going to the orthodontist is never fun, but his office makes it as painless as possible. His staff is organized. You never feel rushed. Dr. Morrill takes notes and refers to them before your appointments
