Our Story: Building a Legacy of Beautiful Smiles in Kennewick

For over 16 years, we’ve been creating confident smiles and lasting relationships with families we’re proud to serve.

The Beginning

A Vision for Exceptional Orthodontic Care

Almond Orthodontics was founded on a simple but powerful belief: exceptional orthodontic care should combine cutting-edge expertise with genuine warmth and personal attention. This philosophy has guided everything we do for more than 16 years—from our first consultation with a nervous parent to the moment we celebrate a patient’s final appointment.

Dr. John Almond and Dr. Brian Almond, brothers who share both a family bond and a passion for orthodontics, established the practice with a clear vision: create a place where patients of all ages feel welcomed, understood, and genuinely cared for throughout their orthodontic journey.

Our Growth

Growing with the Kennewick Community

From our earliest days, Almond Orthodontics has been deeply rooted in the Kennewick community. We’ve had the privilege of treating thousands of local families—watching children grow, celebrating milestones, and even treating multiple generations of the same families.

As our practice has grown, our core values have remained constant:

01

Taking time to truly listen to each patient

02

Thoroughly explaining treatment options

03

Creating personalized plans that respect individual
needs and lifestyles

04

Investing in the latest technology and ongoing education

05

Treating every patient with the respect, kindness, and empathy we’d want for our own families

Today, we’re recognized as a trusted name in Kennewick orthodontics—known for our Invisalign expertise, specialized care for complex cases and special needs patients, and bilingual service that welcomes all families.
