Why do Logan patients choose Farrow Orthodontics?
Logan families want expert care without a long trip across the city, and that’s exactly what we offer. An orthodontist is a dental specialist who trains for years beyond dental school specifically to move teeth and correct bites, as the American Association of Orthodontists explains. That’s the level of training you want handling a growing child’s smile or a bite you’ve lived with for years.
Dr. Farrow is an Invisalign Platinum Provider, a credential that reflects a high volume of aligner cases treated. In reviews, Logan-area patients regularly mention his skill and the results they see in their finished smiles. Many also describe the staff as warm and welcoming, and a number of families bring in a second or third child after seeing the first one’s results.
Here’s what you get at Farrow Orthodontics:
- A free first exam and consultation
- Care from an experienced, consistent doctor-led team
- Modern digital X-rays for faster, lower-radiation visits
- Payment plans with a low down payment and no credit checks
- A team that listens and builds a plan around your case

What treatments can Logan patients get?
We treat every age and stage. Here are the main options and who they tend to fit best.
- Early treatment for kids. The AAO recommends a first orthodontic check by age 7, so we can catch bite or crowding issues while the jaw is still growing. See our early treatment for kids.
- Damon braces for teens and adults. A lower-friction bracket system that often needs fewer adjustment visits and can shorten treatment time.
- Damon Clear braces. They work like metal braces but use tooth-colored brackets that blend in.
- Invisalign. Clear, removable trays that straighten teeth without wires; you take them out to eat and brush. Learn more on our Invisalign page.
- Spark clear aligners. A newer aligner system with clear, comfortable trays.
- Vivera retainers. After treatment, retainers hold your new smile in place.
Not sure which one fits? That’s what the free exam is for. We look at your teeth and explain every option in plain words.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Designed to guide jaw growth and address issues early on, this treatment helps set the foundation for a healthy smile as your child grows.
Teen Orthodontic Treatment
Tailored to the unique needs of teenagers, this treatment improves alignment and boosts confidence during these important years.
Invisalign Treatment
A modern alternative to braces, Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gently guide teeth into place. This option allows for easy eating, brushing, and flossing without dietary restrictions.
Spark Clear Aligners
Spark Clear Aligners are one of the newest and most advanced clear aligner systems available. Made with innovative materials, they offer enhanced clarity and comfort throughout treatment.
Early Orthodontic Screening
Detects potential orthodontic issues in children before they become more serious, often simplifying later treatment. Early intervention can help guide jaw growth and create space for incoming permanent teeth.
Adult Orthodontics
Braces and aligners aren’t just for kids—adults can enjoy straighter teeth and improved oral health at any age. We design discreet, flexible treatment plans that fit into busy schedules.
Retainers & Follow-up Care
Once treatment is complete, retainers help maintain your results by keeping teeth in their new positions. Regular follow-up care ensures your smile stays healthy and aligned for years to come.
Braces or Invisalign: which is right for you?
Both work well. The best choice depends on your teeth, your age, and your daily routine. Here’s a side-by-side look.
Feature | Damon braces | Invisalign / Spark aligners |
|---|---|---|
Appearance | Metal or tooth-colored brackets | Nearly invisible trays |
Removable? | No, fixed to the teeth | Yes, take out to eat and brush |
Best for | Most cases, including complex ones | Mild to moderate cases; disciplined wearers |
Food rules | Skip hard and sticky foods | No food rules; remove the trays |
Discipline needed | Low; they work around the clock | High; wear trays 20 to 22 hrs/day |
Office visits | Regular adjustment visits | Fewer, shorter check-ins |
At your free exam, we tell you honestly which option fits your case. As noted by Cleveland Clinic, both braces and aligners move teeth with steady, controlled pressure. The difference is mostly about visibility, removability, and how much precise control your case needs. Straighter teeth are also easier to keep clean, which the ADA’s MouthHealthy guide ties to healthier gums over time.
Is it too late for adults to get braces near Logan?
No. Braces aren’t just for kids anymore. Healthy teeth and gums can be moved at any age, and Cleveland Clinic notes adults make up a growing share of orthodontic patients. Many of our adult patients choose Invisalign or Damon Clear so treatment stays low-key at work. If crowding, spacing, or a bite issue has bothered you for years, a free consultation is the fastest way to find out what it would take to fix it.
