About Granite Peak Orthodontics
Gongs and punch cards mark braces milestones for anxious or sensory-sensitive kids, while same-day fixes for broken brackets and wires keep treatment on track.
Reviews of Granite Peak Orthodontics repeatedly single out how the office handles nervous or sensory-sensitive children, with staff talking directly to kids about their own care and using prizes or a gong to mark milestones. Several accounts describe multi-stage cases involving expanders, headgear, and braces together, including one reviewer who avoided a surgery recommended elsewhere. Dr. Aaron McDonough is described as patient and thorough with both younger patients and adults, and the practice is noted for same-day appointments when a bracket breaks or a wire comes loose. A few reviewers also mention the office declining to recommend treatment it didn't think was necessary.

Excellent Dr, staff and service! I just completed my Invisalign treatment (14months) with Granite Peak and I cannot express how happy I am with the results and treatment I received. Dr. Aaron’s experience and attention to detail really stood out during my treatment. Thank you!

Started with our first kid at the old location a number of years ago and finished with our last kid in the new location in 2026. Their smiles look wonderful! Aaron and his staff have always been great. We also like how Granite Peak supports organizations and events in our community.

The most welcoming, personable, and friendly team! We shopped around and instantly felt like the whole office was happy to see us. After doing treatment with my first son, I brought my second son and they said he didn’t need phase one, which told me they weren’t just trying to get more money but actually cared about what’s best for us. Will be sending all my kids here!

Dr. Aaron is a respectful gentleman who took the time to examine my teeth, take detailed pictures and give me a detailed consultation. He wasn't looking for bucks to come his way by making a needless appointment with me and suggested a procedure that he doesn't practice. He was genuinely looking out for what would best serve me. I am glad to have had the experience of meeting him and his knowledgeable, professional team.
