Gorton & Schmohl Orthodontics

I have had a great experience with Gorton & Schmohl Orthodonics. The service and care I have received from the front desk, to the assistants and with both doctors has been outstanding. As an adult in my forties I was reluctant to have any orthodonics work done and was vary particular what type of work I wanted. Dr. Schmohl and Dr. Gorton created an
Invisalign plan that was perfect for me. I have almost completed the program and the results are fantastic. This is due in no small part to the regular appointments and adjustments that Dr. Schmohl and Dr. Gorton made along the way. I have friends who have gone to other places for Invisalign and they did not have experiences as good as the one I have had here. Another recommendation– go with the AcceleDent vibration device if you are getting Invisalign. It speeds up the process and is worth the money.

Both Dr. Gorton & Dr. Schmohl are amazing!
I am not your run-​of-​the-​mill candidate for braces. I am in mid-50’s, and I needed orthognathic surgery in conjunction with braces. On top of that, I had tons of prior dental work that made my case complicated & time-​consuming. In short, I am pretty sure that I was a low-​margin patient.
No matter, both Dr’s spent a great deal of time getting me prepared for my surgery and talking with the 3 surgeons that I «interviewed». Now, they are still finishing up the braces two years later! Their work is impeccable, and their experience without equal. If they could help me, then they certainly can help you.

I’ve been hesitant to start invisalign even though my dentist has told me that my teeth are worn badly and he highly recommended starting treatment immediately. I finally went and got a free exam and to my surprise it was a great experience. I was in and out in about an hour. Dr. Gorton did some much needed cosmetic work to get the ball rolling and I get my first set of invisalign in about 6 weeks. The staff was very friendly, professional and easy on eyes. I was surprised at how easy the whole process was and how affordable it is. If you have been putting this off like I have, then call Gorton & Schmohl Orthodontics today and GET IT DONE!

My son has been receiving superior care for a very complex malocclusion. Both Drs. Groton and Schmohl are clearly skilled and experienced. They have transformed my son’s bite through maxillary expansion and braces. He is never exceedingly uncomfortable despite his necessary extensive treatments. Despite it being such a busy popular office, we can always get an appointment thanks to Lori. The entire support staff is kid-​oriented and parent-​supportive. I cannot imagine having my son in better hands!

My daughter had immensely difficult orthodontic problems, including several missing adult teeth and extreme overcrowding. Dr. Gorton spent countless hours over 8 years figuring out the best approach to getting the best results — including consulting with other leading experts in the field. A week before my daughter’s sweet 16 birthday her braces finally came off and she has not stopped beaming her beautiful smile since. Thank you, Drs. Gorton and Schmohl.

I am adult patient getting Invisalign treatment here, and I highly recommend it! I put off orthodontic treatment for years because an orthodontist in southern California wanted to extract 4 adult teeth (other than my wisdom teeth) and said that I still would not be a candidate for Invisalign. Dr. Gorton said she may have to remove one lower canine tooth that was completely blocked by my other teeth, but that she can even try to see if she can save it. She also recommended me to an excellent oral surgeon to safely deal with a wisdom tooth extraction that was resting on my jaw nerve. I have been seen by both orthodontists, and most of their staff. Everyone is a pleasure to work with. My recommendation is to learn a little bit about orthodontics before going in for your first consultation so that you can be informed about what you want and why, and so that you can collaborate on your treatment. I have other friends who have gone to other orthodontists/​dentists who did things without explaining what they are doing or why or if there were any alternatives. I am nearing the end of my treatment. I will post before and after pictures to show how complicated of a case Dr. Gorton will take on when others wouldn’t. And she said she has treated even more complicated cases than mine with Invisalign. I’m still amazed by the magic Dr. Gorton and of these little plastic devices.

I am so happy that I have chosen this office to help me through my treatment that will allow me to finally have a great smile. I have never had braces and at the age of 18 I did not want to go through that process and so with the help of Dr. Gorton and Dr. Schmohl they were able to introduce me to Invisalign. The treatment process has been easy and the whole staff is always super friendly when I’ve come in. Each staff member is pleasing and gentle which is what I needed since I’m a sensitive patient. The office has a beautiful and modern look and makes the visits enjoyable. I highly recommend coming to Dr. Gorton and Dr. Schmohl’s office for getting exactly what you need and a smile you deserve!

This is the best orthodontics office in Marin!
My daughter has a beautiful smile and healthy teeth because of this professional and knowledgeable team. My 20 year old son is probably headed towards surgery instead of orthodontia, but Drs Gorton and Schmohl continue to take the time to evaluate him annually at no charge ~ and they started seeing him 8 years ago! I completely trust and value their opinion. I can’t think of a single reason why anyone would go elsewhere in Marin Co.

Our family LOVES Gorton & Schmohl Orthodontics!!!
We have been with their office for 13 years or more. My three girls have absolutely beautiful teeth now because of both of these wonderful orthodontists (and my children’s ability to follow their very knowledgable advice!). My son will be starting his first phase soon. He’s hoping to have as much success and ease as his sister did with Invisaline. My youngest daughter’s teeth were about the worst case scenario possible that could possibly be corrected with Invisaline. My daughter was adamant… «Invisaline or I’m not doing it». Dr. Gorton started with a very detailed and comprehensive Invisaline plan for her and then proceeded to keep her moving along perfectly! She is thrilled, as am I. Both Dr. Schmohl and Dr. Gorton are extremely friendly, professional and very competent orthodontists that our family highly recommends!
Their beautiful new office has such wonderful and friendly long time staff, advanced technology and is extremely convenient to get to (right off Hwy 101 at Larkspur Landing).

I would absolutely recommend this office to anyone looking for orthodontic treatment! I along with my 3 younger siblings are patients of Dr. Gorton and Dr. Schmohl. I had an incredibly smooth experience with 2 phases of orthodontic treatment in my youth and ended up completing the course with a beautiful smile multiple months ahead of schedule by following their instruction. My sister had a very difficult case, but really wanted invisalign instead of braces, and Dr. Gorton was able to design a personalized treatment plan for her that has proven very successful! Their office is extremely welcoming, with incredible staff who truly make an effort to get to know each and every one of their patients. They have cutting edge technology and have even switched to an intra-​oral scanning system that has gotten rid of the need for messy impressions for starting ortho patients. The doctors are extremely knowledgeable and are happy to take the time to discuss the pros and cons of certain options with their patients so that everyone is well informed. Fantastic place to do your treatment!

I would absolutely recommend Dr. Gorton and Schmohl. They are very friendly and actually listen to what the patient wants. No matter what you always leave satisfied

I love Gorton and Schmohl Orthodontics, and would recommend them without reservation to anyone and everyone. Both of my children are patients there, but I can’t say enough about their treatment for my daughter. When she first came in as a young patient, there was the possibility that she would need jaw surgery. However, Dr. Schmohl and Dr. Gorton have the excellent ability to see longterm, and came up with a plan that not only spared my daughter from going through the experience of a surgical procedure, but also saved us over $ 15,000 in treatment. She is now in the final phase of her treatment and we couldn’t be happier. We so appreciate their use of cutting edge technology and methods — and it has made our kids more comfortable and also proud of how they smile.

I have had an excellent experience with Dr Gorton and the staff she works with. I went to her for invisalign as an adult and she was able to help me make some amazing changes. If you want to see someone who really cares about her patients and really keeps up on all the latest, I would highly recommend Dr Gorton!

These guys are the best! I went to Dr. Gorton as an adult patient and she gave me the exact smile I had always dreamed of. I’m still in awe when I look in the mirror everyday– such a transformation. I love my new smile, thanks Dr. Gorton!

IF you want a gorgeous smile, this is the place to be! Yes, Dr. Jasmine Gorton has an enormous ego and can, at times, come off as condescending however she knows her stuff. They do not believe in using head/​neck gear as these have been shown to drastically change a child’s profile — usually not for the better. You can avoid Dr. Gorton by booking with Dr. Schmol for your child, however if you are an adult using Invisalign than Dr. Gorton is the best around! They are an Elite provider and she often consults other Orthos on best practices. The office is beautiful, the assistants are all friendly and kind. Laurie at the front desk is great too!

I would highly recommend this establishment. I have been a patient for the past two years for Invisalign treatment. Here are the reasons for my recommendation:
1. The process started w a thorough consult, there was a set financial agreement, payment plan, there are no hidden costs I knew exactly how much the entire treatment would cost up front.
2. Flexibility– the office has always been very accommodating with urgent and non urgent appointments
3. The support staff is personable, kind, and seem very knowledgable.
4. Dr. Gorton is the ultimate perfectionist, she thinks outside the box, cites recent literature. I find her to be blunt, honest which is refreshing.
5. Dr. Schmohl is also a pleasure to work with.

Dr. Schmohl is a really nice guy and the experience with him doing my kids orthodontics was also really nice… UNTIL Dr. Gorton came on board. She was immediately cold, unfriendly and difficult to communicate with. Such the opposite of Dr. Schmohl and not a pleasure to have to see when he wasn’t available. CAn’t figure out why he didn’t choose someone more outgoing and warmer to partner with.

Dr. Schmohl and his amazing team truly changed my life. I was a patient in his office starting at around age six, and I can tell you I still remember being terrified the first day I went into his office. But, as soon as I met him and was greeted by the other warm, kind, and gentle staff, I never worried again; in fact, I looked forward to going! They understand how scary the experience can be for kids, and they go out of their way to make the experience calm, pain free, and fun! (Their office is a child’s paradise!)
My mouth was a disaster when we first started, and over many, many years, he turned my smile into something that I still get compliments on (nearly everyday), and it’s been a tremendous sense of pride and joy in my life. I got my last set of braces off at age 13, and because I still wear my retainer every night — I’m 25 now — my teeth are as perfectly straight and beautiful as the day I got my braces off.
I hope Dr. Schmohl will continue practicing for another 20+ years so that my kids can be lucky enough to go to him, too. Thank you all so much for the tremendous and wonderful impact you’ve had on my life! I’m grateful everyday for you and your staff!

I have been a patient and 4 of my kids have been patients. They use the latest techniques and do not use external headgear or appliances. They also don’t like to extract teeth to make room in the mouth. Can’t say enough great things about Dr Schmohl and Gorton. Anyone in Marin should make the drive. The results are beautiful. People think my daughter has veneers (a perfect smile) after being treated by Drs. Schmohl and Gorton.
Prices are very reasonable and have payment plans too.
How far would I travel to go to these Drs. We moved to Newport Beach and still flew up every 60 days to finish our treatment for my last son.
If you or your child needs braces, go see these Drs. You will be glad you did!

Dr. Schmohl ruined my teeth forever. I got braces from him as an adult. I merely ASKED him what I could do about a little chip on my upper front tooth that was hardly noticeable. He immediately proceeded to saw down both my front teeth without EVER asking me OR informing me he was doing so!!! He has changed my once beautiful teeth to about 1 – 2 mm shorter, forever. Trust me, it has changed the whole appearance of my smile. I mourn the loss of my once aesthetically beautiful teeth every single day. Oh, he conveniently disposed of my original tooth molds as well.
This man is an egomaniac. How anyone could EVER do such a thing without discussing it with the patient first is appalling, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable! Absolutely despicable.
