About Luff Orthodontics
Out-of-town and rural families get same-day bracket repairs and appointments squeezed in around travel schedules that other offices in the area can't match.
Reviews highlight an office that goes out of its way for patients coming from remote parts of Alaska, offering flexible hours and quick fixes for travelers passing through. The orthodontists are described as taking time to walk through complex cases like underbites and overcrowding, often finishing treatment ahead of schedule rather than dragging it out. Cost transparency also comes up often, with mentions of Medicaid acceptance, payment plans, and a discount for paying upfront.

Luff orthodontist really is a comforting environment! They put my braces on and they really care for their patients, interests, and keep a clam, nice environment. They make sure their patients are comfortable and they are very open and caring! I am not disappointed for choosing them, they also have payment plans if you cannot do full, you also get sent home with a starter care bag for braces aswell as a rewards card & a gift! Definitely would recommend!

The staff are all super friendly, welcoming and courteous. They all appear to get along really well together which makes it a great team. Scheduling is a breeze and the appointment reminders work great (you can opt out if you don't care for those). Dr Luff is amazing with the care he provides and he makes me feel comfortable with explaining what's going on at my appointments. They accepted my two insurances and had a great payment plan for my out of pocket portion. I highly recommend Luff Orthodontics to help you get that great smile you deserve!

10/10 recommend to anybody seeking orthodontic care! The front desk staff was very friendly during scheduling and when I arrived to my appointment to check in. The dental assistant that worked on my teeth was very kind, gentle, and well informed about the permanent retainer that I needed fixed. Very clean, quiet, and peaceful environment. Bonus points- the view from the chair while being worked on was absolutely STUNNING. Run, don’t walk and book your appointment asap! :)
