About Doctor Smiles Orthodontics
Dr. Marisela M. Bedoya now leads a practice where many families bring multiple children through braces treatment over several years.
Braces are the primary treatment here, and many families return with multiple children over the years, including some who transferred mid-treatment from another orthodontist without needing to restart their plan. Following the retirement of the practice's long-time orthodontist, Dr. Marisela M. Bedoya now leads care, and reviews note she keeps parents updated after appointments and takes time with each patient. Kids are kept engaged with games and prizes, and the office is described as clean and welcoming, though one reviewer found the equipment a bit dated.

Thank you to Dr. Bedoya and the entire team at Dr. Smile Ortho for taking such great care of me! They made the entire process smooth and comfortable, and I’m so grateful for the beautiful results. My smile is straighter, my confidence is higher, and I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!

Inez is the best medical assistant I have encountered. I loved Dr. Kassman; but he has since retired. I wish him the best. I do not care for the mannerisms of the new Dr. Jones. I feel it is a difference of what I find acceptable when meeting a new doctor. Dr. Jones did not introduce himself and was rushed, scattered and curt. I have however, met the two new owners of this new practice and they were impeccable with their interaction regarding my care. I hope they treat Inez well, as she publicly holds them in the highest regard. Bravo.

I brought both of my daughters in for braces. We absolutely love coming here. EVERYONE here is personable, professional and it feels like you are visiting family. I recommend Dr. Kassman to everyone and as long as he is practicing in Tucson he will he the #1 recommendation from us. The proof is in the pics. We saw a change almost immediately. Jasmine Martinez and Eliza Martinez will forever be grateful. Thank you all.

Colin just received his braces from Dr. Kassman! From the moment we walked into Dr. Kassman’s office we were greeted with open arms and beautiful smiles! We felt so comfortable at our very first visit and we are so blessed to have found Dr. Kassman! His staff is beyond amazing, very encouraging and they answered all of our questions! Lori was outstanding! She is so intelligent and very knowledgeable and guided us through the process. Thank you Dr. Kassman, Lori and the staff for making us feel at home ❤️ We look forward to seeing you all for the next few years!
