The Staff Was Always Welcoming
Our experience with Freytag Orthodontics was the best. The staff was always welcoming and provided clear explanations of procedures. The staff is efficient, which meant we never had long wait times prior to being seen. Our son now has a confident beautiful smile. Thank you!

My Daughter’s Smile Turned Out Beautifully
My daughter's smile turned out beautifully! Dr. Freytag was able to correct her overbite and straighten her crowded teeth. I loved her eye for detail when treating my daughter. Even the small adjustments made for a gorgeous smile.

A Trusted Orthodontist in Marana
Dr. Larissa Freytag earned her Bachelor's degree with honors in Statistics from the University of Florida. After graduating, Dr. Freytag attended dental school at the University of Pennsylvania on scholarship.
After graduating from dental school, Dr. Freytag was then accepted into the orthodontic residency program at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, where she completed a two-year graduate degree specializing in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics.
Upon completing her orthodontic residency, Dr. Freytag worked at Fry Orthodontics Specialists for eight years, gaining experience at a VIP: Diamond Plus Invisalign provider. In 2016, Dr. Freytag and her family decided to move to Tucson, Arizona, to be closer to family and escape the cold Midwest winters.
Dr. Freytag became a partner at Grinz Orthodontics, where she was the only practicing orthodontist treating patients in the NW Tucson office from May 2016 to March 2020. In March of 2020, Dr. Freytag left Grinz Orthodontics to start her own practice, which opened in October of 2020.
Dr. Freytag is a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, the American Dental Association, the Arizona Dental Association, the Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists, and the Southern Arizona Dental Society.
Marana Braces
Braces in Marana are an excellent choice for correcting complex tooth issues. We use self-ligating braces that work faster at aligning teeth and closing gaps than other treatments may. Overall treatment time may be slightly reduced.
Braces don't require some of the more complex technology or expensive equipment that newer treatments can, meaning Tucson braces are a cost-effective orthodontic option.
Traditional metal braces are one of the most efficient orthodontic tools we have. They're made out of metal or ceramic brackets that are affixed to the teeth, then connected by wires that clip into the brackets.
These brackets, wires, and bands work together to apply the gentle pressure that will gradually move the teeth into the positions we want them to be in as long as you have regular adjustments with our doctors.
Marana Invisalign
Invisalign is incredibly popular with both patients and orthodontists in Marana and is the top alternative to traditional braces. Instead of brackets and bands, the Invisalign system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth gradually.
Invisalign aligners are made of a comfortable plastic material and customized to fit snugly over your teeth. To keep your teeth moving in the direction you want them to, you'll need to switch your invisible trays out for the next one in the series every one to two weeks as directed by Dr. Freytag.
The Invisalign system can only work if the recommended guidelines are followed exactly! Aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day throughout treatment. If patients neglect to wear the aligners as directed, it can impede the results and also add time to the orthodontic process.
Invisalign is at its most efficient when correcting many of the most common orthodontic issues. For some complex cases, Invisalign may not be a good option. A free consultation with Dr. Freytag at Freytag Orthodontics in Marana will allow us to determine your eligibility for Invisalign.
