About the practice
An orthodontic office built around the school day
Baird Creek Orthodontics treats teens and adults with braces, clear aligners and retainers.
Two orthodontists and a team of seven share one calm office on Willard Drive. Most of our patients are in middle school, high school or college, so we open early and stay late two days a week, and we plan visits around the season you're in.
You meet the orthodontist at the first visit, and you hear the plan, the range for how long it takes and the fee in writing before anything starts.
The orthodontists
Dr. Xiong and Dr. Zepeda
Each new patient meets one of them at the first visit.
Dr. Zepeda treats teens and adults beside Dr. Xiong. She completed a residency in orthodontics, and she speaks Spanish and English.
