About This Provider
Dr. Brian Asbury is a board-certified orthodontist with 17 years of experience helping patients achieve healthy, beautiful smiles in San Diego. He earned his dental degree from UCLA and completed advanced training in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics at Harvard University, with specialized education at Boston Children's Hospital. Dr. Asbury has a special interest in treating complex cases like cleft lip and palate and craniofacial abnormalities, and he volunteers regularly at clinics in Mexico providing free care to children with these conditions. He uses the latest technology, including 3D X-rays and digital scanning, and asks himself "What would you do if this were your son or daughter?" when planning each patient's treatment. A Southern California native who loves living in San Diego with his wife and four children, Dr. Asbury is accepting new patients.
