Aamodt-Brown Orthodontics

Where Your Smile is Family

Originally founded by Dr. Keith Erickson in 1989, the practice became Erickson-Aamodt Orthodontics in 2004 when Dr. John Aamodt signed on. With Dr. Erickson's retirement at the end of 2023, Dr. Brooke Brown has joined the team, and the practice will become known as Aamodt-Brown Orthodontics. From the beginning, patients have been at the heart of the practice’s approach to orthodontics. Aamodt-Brown Orthodontics isn’t just about aligning teeth; it’s about aligning with you.

As a patient-centered private practice, the focus has always been on providing the highest quality patient care and exceptional outcomes. At Aamodt-Brown Orthodontics, Drs. Aamodt and Brown look to the future, focusing on providing their patients with the best smiles they can offer.

Commitment to Quality at Aamodt-Brown Orthodontics

Aamodt-Brown Orthodontics remains refreshingly independent in a world where the bottom line is often prioritized. This doctor-owned practice refuses to compromise its ethical responsibilities to patients for production targets. With a focus on patient outcomes, a commitment to communication and quality results drives Drs. Aamodt and Brown. They emphasize a thorough consultation, ensuring informed decisions and never rushing into treatments. 

Dr. Erickson shared, "Orthodontic treatment is more than just straightening teeth—it's about improving self-confidence and creating a lasting impact.” Driven by a passion for stable, long-term results that hold up, the team prides itself on fair fees, open communication, and a dedication to treating patients as if they were family and friends.

"Orthodontic care is not a one-size-fits-all journey. At Aamodt-Brown Orthodontics, we embrace the uniqueness of each patient, holding ourselves to the highest standards of care. From basic alignments to intricate cases like cleft palates, our commitment to a patient-centered approach ensures that every smile we transform is as exceptional and individual as the person behind it,” shared Dr. Aamodt.

Passing the Torch and Introducing Dr. Brooke Brown

Dr. Brown, the newest partner, brings a fresh perspective rooted in her own orthodontic journey. Board-certified and actively involved in study clubs, she embodies the practice's commitment to lifelong learning. Brooke's story also echoes that of many patients she now helps—transforming lives through orthodontic care.

I am thrilled to continue the legacy of exceptional care established by Drs. Erickson and Aamodt. Their commitment to quality has set a standard I am eager to uphold. I’m excited about the future of our practice, and I look forward to contributing to the bright smiles and confident lives of our patients,” said Dr. Brown.

 

A Personal Touch and the Smile You Deserve

“At Aamodt-Brown Orthodontics, patients aren't just numbers but part of the family,” said Dr. Brown. "My journey into orthodontics was deeply personal. Like many of our patients, I battled self-consciousness due to crowded teeth during my early years. The reluctance to smile and avoiding showing my teeth in photos became a norm." 

“However, two phases of orthodontic treatment transformed my life. The hard work paid off, gifting me not just a straight smile but a boost in my self-confidence and self-esteem. It changed how I presented myself to the world,” she shared.

“Now, as part of Aamodt-Brown Orthodontics, I consider myself fortunate to impact the lives of others in a similar way. I understand the life-changing power of a confident smile, and it ignites my passion to provide exceptional care, ensuring every patient's journey is as rewarding as mine."
