About Advanced Orthodontics
A severe underbite corrected after other providers struggled, with Dr. Benjamin Larrabee often finishing Invisalign cases months ahead of schedule.
Reviews often describe cases other providers had struggled with, from a severe underbite to a bite left compromised after prior Invisalign elsewhere, being corrected here with what patients call dramatic results. Invisalign and clear aligners come up especially often, and several reviews note treatment finishing faster than expected, including one Invisalign case done in six months. Multiple families mention bringing several children through treatment here over the years, with Dr. Larrabee credited for explaining each step and not rushing the process.
Summary of 200 patient reviews, November 2021–September 2026, updated September 2026
Advanced Orthodontics, established in 2005, provides orthodontic care in Mesa, Arizona, treating children, teens, and adults across three locations.
Dr. Benjamin Larrabee and Dr. Prashansa Sharma-Makwana lead the practice, offering Invisalign and self-ligating braces as primary treatment options. The practice holds Diamond Plus Provider status with Invisalign and uses digital impression technology, including iTero or equivalent intraoral scanning systems, to support treatment planning and case documentation. Both doctors work with patients of all ages, from early orthodontic intervention through adult correction. The practice operates multiple locations in Mesa to serve different areas of the community. Digital scanning eliminates traditional impression materials for most treatment types. Patients can schedule appointments through the practice's online booking system. Advanced Orthodontics accepts all PPO insurance plans and manages the claims submission process on behalf of patients. Payment plans are available through multiple channels, including CareCredit and in-house financing options. The practice offers 0% interest financing for patients without dental insurance coverage, providing an alternative to third-party financing. These financial arrangements allow patients to distribute treatment costs over time rather than paying the full fee at the start of care. The practice serves patients throughout the Mesa area. Individual treatment needs vary, and an initial consultation determines which orthodontic approach suits each patient's specific condition and goals.
