About This Provider
Dr. Byron Okubo is a board-certified orthodontist with 19 years of experience helping patients achieve healthy, beautiful smiles in Midvale. He specializes in a wide range of treatment options, including traditional braces, clear aligners, ceramic braces, and lingual braces (braces placed behind the teeth). Dr. Okubo personally designs and fabricates custom arch wires and appliances for each patient, bringing the same attention to detail he's had since childhood—when he started making perfectly uniform origami animals at age 5. He believes that straight teeth should function well and stay stable for life, and he's committed to providing the highest standard of care to create smiles that are both beautiful and healthy. Dr. Okubo is accepting new patients and is proud to serve the Utah community where he was born and raised.
