We offer a wide range of orthodontic treatment to meet the needs and desires of each individual patient.
Services
We know that our office is only as effective and welcoming as the people who work in it, which is why we take pride in our friendly, well-trained team members! We put your needs first to achieve efficient and comprehensive treatment in a supportive, nurturing environment. We promise to speak candidly with you about possible treatments as well as any risks and associated costs of treatment, and how treatment can address your individual needs.
Dr. Judd grew up in Mesa, AZ. He has an undergrad degree from Brigham Young University, a Doctorate of Dental Surgery, and a Masters of Science in Dentistry from the University of Colorado. When he isn't working, you can find him mountain biking, backpacking, watching sports, and spending time with his family.
I am pleased to inform you I have recently merged my practice with Dr. R Thomas (Tom) Tipton. We will continue to be called Curtis Orthodontics. This change will bring you many exciting improvements and services. Be assured we will work closely with our patients to make the integration process over the next several months as smooth as possible.
No, it is not. Many of our patients are referred by their family dentist, yet many other patients take the initiative to schedule an examination themselves. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic screening at age 7. By this age, several permanent teeth in most children have erupted, allowing us to effectively evaluate your orthodontic condition.
Here at Curtis Orthodontics, we believe that everyone is entitled to a healthy and attractive smile regardless of their financial position. In order to help accomplish this, we offer a wide range of interest free financing options that will meet nearly any budget. We accept a variety of PPO plans and many of our treatments are covered by insurance.

I had the most horrible experience with Dr. Curtis directly. He messed up my Invisalign completely and blamed it on me. When I told him the composite wasn't what we agreed on in the consult he was patronizing, sarcastic and insulting.

He (and I quote) told me to "go back to LA" if I wanted it done right. He called my teeth ugly and horrible. I am a young female patient. I started crying in the chair. A middle aged doctor calling their young female patients teeth ugly and it's their fault - my expectations were too high he said. I could tell his hygienist was horrified and

Dr Curtis and his staff are amazing! I love when you walk into the office everyone is there to greet you with a smile, and not just the front but back office as well. So happy we came to Dr Curtis for my daughters braces, they made the process smooth and easy for all of us.

Dr. Curtis and his team have been providing orthodontic care to both of my children for years. They have always put the specific needs of my children first, never rushing the process.

I lost my retainer. I made an appointment to see Dr. Curtis. The front desk staff was very friendly and efficient. I was offered an appointment for the same week and quoted a price. When I arrived, there was almost to wait. My tech and I talked about options. She scanned my teeth, which took about two minutes. Then I met Dr. Curtis who was incredibility knowledgeable. He walked me through the best options for me. I also really appreciated that because I said I wasn't interested in braces or cosmetic procedures, there was no attempt to upsell me. I did feel like the procedure space was on the

Exceptional customer service. Friendly and professional staff and doctor. Front desk staff are always friendly and welcoming. I was a patient of Dr Tipton's for much of my treatment (another great orthodontist), until he merged his practice with Curtis Orthodontics, and retired. The transition went smoothly, and I was very pleased with my final results. Thank you to Holly for always making me feel at ease with a cheerful smile and warm welcome. I highly recommend Dr. Curtis and his staff.

I’m really pleased with the staff and Dr. Curtis. My previous orthodontist retired and I needed to replace my broken retainer. The process was quick and easy! They used this cool laser scanner instead of that yucky putty. Also, they used an in-house 3D printer so the turn around time was next day. How cool is that?!? Thanks for your promote service at your new Gilbert location.

Dr. Curtis is phenomenal so it only makes sense that his entire staff would be too. My daughter’s teeth and mouth presented some unique challenges but Dr. Curtis’ approach was unique and made just for her. He and his staff are kind, intelligent, quick and knowledgeable and answer any and all questions. Would highly recommend!

From my first appointment, the staff at Curtis Orthodontics have been professional and friendly with me. I felt so comfortable with Kaitlin. She took the time to get to know me as a client and remember details about me. She always made sure I was comfortable in the chair and gave me great advice and tips for taking care of my Invisalign.

Recently I had the bonding of my permanent retainer fall off and the metal wire was cutting into my tongue making it very painful to eat. I had booked an appointment with another orthodontist who then tried to take xrays and schedule me with braces (which id already had). I called Curtis Orthodontics desperate for them to squeeze me in and they managed to fit me in the same day and were fantastic! I highly recommend Dr. Curtis and all of his staff.

I love going to the Orthodontist! Initially, I was terrified of having work done on my teeth, but after my first visit to Curtis Orthodontics all those fears went away. The staff has been very welcoming and supportive every time I visit. They always answer all my questions no matter how many I ask. I highly recommend this place :)

I'm very happy with the service and staff at Curtis Orthodontics. Each time I take my daughter in for an adjustment, we're greeted by Jessica's warm, friendly smile. Jessica welcomes us like we're family and always makes sure we know about the fun, extra events that the office puts on. Amanda is another staff member who goes the extra mile to ensure that our appointments are conveniently scheduled. The women who do the adjustments and Dr. Curtis are equally helpful and knowledgeable.

I love Dr. Curtis and all the staff is very friendly and they explain always how is everything going no matter how many times you ask. My children like the video games in the waiting room, all the contest they have every month and the rewards they get to follow the treatment and cleaning. The location is very convenient to us as it is just 3 min away from school.
I love this office, not only for the excellent care, attention to detail, helpfulness, and excellent service, but more importantly because Dr. Curtis is always ready to help any non-profit organizations that ask for his help!

Being new to Arizona I didn't have any local friends or family to recommend orthodontic care. Curtis Orthodontics happened to be located near my office so I researched reviews and it seemed like it may be one option to consider. I went in for a consult (also went to two other places) and was sold. I am currently 7 months into treatment and extremely pleased! The staff is so friendly and warm! I do not even have a favorite assistant because they've all been so great and Dr. Curtis is always upbeat, positive, friendly and thorough when explaining the treatment progress and next steps. I

This office will exceed your expectations. I have been pleased with every aspect of the service since we started. One day my daughter and I were discussing what power chain color would look best with her homecoming dress (you know, real world problems :) Dr. Curtis overhead and chimed in and asked about the dress and gave some suggestions and then had his assistant sample different colors. It's the small details like this that shows they are willing to go above and beyond. I would highly recommend this office to anyone.

Curtis Orthodontics has worked with me regarding this issue. Of course I can't give them 5/5 because of the huge communication issue. I am happy to say that Curtis Orthodontics went back and fourth with me to make sure we could come to a good compromise. That right there says a lot about a company and I greatly appreciate it.

We were trying several orthodontists to see where we would be the most comfortable, both with the office staff/doctors and also scheduling and location-wise. We tried this office because it was close and had good Yelp reviews.

I cannot remember the original phone experience except to say they were able to get us in as a new consult rather quickly and had convenient times. When we got there, just before school break, the office was nice and clean/neat and well-decorated for the upcoming holiday.

They took us to a room after filling out papers and asking my child to brush teeth with a disposable

This a very well run office. Dr. Curtis is very gentle and personable. He is also very fair in pricing and does minimally invasive treatments.

Both of my kids go here and after investing several other orthos he was by far the best and cheapest.

It's one thing to wait until you're in your mid-30's to want to make some crazy changes about yourself. You get kind of obsessed with aging gracefully. It's a whole 'nother situation of crazy when you decide to get Braces at 35+ ---- (insert mysterious music) dum dum dum... In comes what I call, the "mid mid-life crisis".

Not sure what I was thinking. I looked at my smile after I did a photo-shoot and I said... "Hmmm.. I want to fix my smile". 2 weeks later, I had FULL on teen-aged braces on my teeth. Only a person in the "mid mid-life crisis
