Team

We believe orthodontic excellence is about more than just straight teeth. Our energetic team brings together advanced expertise and genuine enthusiasm to create an experience you'll actually look forward to.

Award-Winning Orthodontics

Dr. Benjamin Larrabee

When Dr. Larrabee founded Advanced Orthodontics in 2005, he had a vision: create an orthodontic practice where clinical excellence and genuine care go hand in hand. Today, that vision has earned us recognition as one of Phoenix’s Top Workplaces and made
us the Valley’s trusted choice for orthodontic care.

After graduating in the top 5% of his class at the prestigious University of Michigan Dental School (Go Blue!), Dr. Larrabee pursued his Masters in Orthodontics at Marquette University’s renowned two-year program. This elite training exposed him to the
most advanced approaches in orthodontics, setting the foundation for his commitment to innovative care.

Dr. Larrabee’s dedication to excellence shows in every smile he creates. As a Blue Diamond+ Top 1% Invisalign Provider (top 1% nationwide) and a 10-time recipient of Phoenix Magazine’s Top Doc award, he brings advanced expertise in Roth Williams techniques
and specialized training in occlusion and TMJ treatment to every patient.

Beyond creating beautiful smiles, Dr. Larrabee is passionate about giving back. You’ll find him supporting Phoenix Children’s Hospital, the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America, and cheering on his patients at their extracurricular activities. When
he’s not transforming smiles, he enjoys spending time with his wife Carly and their three children – Luke, Will, and Farrah – often coaching their sports teams and enjoying the Arizona sunshine they traded Chicago’s winters for.
