At Apple Valley Orthodontics, Dr. Monica Velez loves to create wonderful smiles for her patients. Supported by our experienced team, Dr. Velez focuses on each person's unique needs and smile goals. She spends time getting to know the patient before developing an individual treatment plan that will soon have the person smiling with confidence.

We believe in treating each person in our care the way we'd treat a family member: with respect, compassion, and honesty. We use the latest orthodontic technologies and treatments, combined with a gentle, personal touch, to create oral health and great smiles. Ours is an orthodontic practice where we build long-term relationships with our patients and their families.
Services
We recognize that all our patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice.
I am lucky to have a profession I love and am passionate about. Changing the self-esteem and confidence of my patients by giving them a beautiful smile is immensely rewarding, both personally and professionally. As an orthodontist, I help bring about amazing changes in the lives of my patients.

Not only do I straighten their teeth and develop great smiles, but the treatment also creates stronger oral health and ensures they will have fewer dental problems in the future.When a person has a healthy smile - one that they love - they share it more often and are more comfortable in every interaction.
The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) was founded in 1929. It is the oldest and most prestigious specialty board in dentistry. The ABO's aim is to elevate the standards of the practice of orthodontia, to familiarize the public with its aim and ideals, and to protect the public against irresponsible and unqualified practitioners.
Our greatest goal is to give you the healthy, straight, beautiful smile you've always wanted. We understand that choosing to receive orthodontic care is a big decision, and we respect your reasons for wanting to improve the way you look and feel. Our practice will work with you every step of the way to make sure your orthodontic care is as rewarding as possible.
The cost of your orthodontic treatment will vary, depending on your individual needs and treatment plan. Our staff will discuss the cost of your treatment and each available payment plan option with you, so you can make the best choice for yourself and your smile. We will work with you to create a payment plan that fits your budget, and you will know what to expect before beginning treatment.

I’ve been a patient at this office for two years and those two years have been the most easiest two years of having braces. My niece and cousin were the ones that recommended me to come to this office . This office has made the process so smooth and made me feel at home each of my visits . Ben and Dr Monica velez were my favorite part of my visits they were always making sure I was okay and made me feel so comfortable like if I was family ❤️
Today I got my braces removed and I’m in love with the process , I will miss the office and my braces
i 100% recommend this office 🙌🏽

Dr. Velez is very nice and so is her staff. My daughter had braces for 2 years and her smile looks amazing. She was originally missing one of her adult teeth (it never grew) Dr Velez was able to move some teeth from the back to fill that gap and you cannot tell she was ever missing a tooth. My other daughter is getting ready to start her treatment as well. There is no other place I would take her.
