Our Story & Philosophy
For nearly 50 years, Bales & King Orthodontics has been a cornerstone of the Novato and Santa Rosa communities, dedicated to creating beautiful, healthy smiles with personalized care and genuine compassion.
Established in 1976
Bales & King Orthodontics was founded on a simple yet powerful belief: every person deserves a smile they can be proud of. What began as a small practice has grown into a trusted orthodontic home for thousands of families across Marin and Sonoma counties.
Through the decades, we’ve stayed true to our founding values while embracing innovation. From traditional braces to cutting-edge Invisalign and whole body health and airway orthodontics, we combine time-tested techniques with modern advancements to deliver exceptional results.
Our practice is built on relationships. We take the time to know each patient, understand their unique goals, and create treatment plans that fit their lifestyle. When you walk through our doors, you’re not just a patient—you’re part of our family.
