At Rochester Family Orthodontics, we believe exceptional orthodontic treatment is about more than straight teeth. It’s about understanding the whole patient, taking the time to listen, and creating a treatment plan that considers your smile, bite, goals, and individual needs.
Dr. Maureen Wood created an independently owned practice where she could provide orthodontic treatment the way she believes it should be provided: personally, thoughtfully, and with the freedom to recommend what she believes is right for each patient.
Dr. Wood is an ABO board-certified orthodontist with 15 years of experience treating a wide range of orthodontic needs. She also spent nine years as clinical faculty at the University of Rochester’s Eastman Institute for Oral Health, helping educate future orthodontists.
Board certification represents an additional commitment beyond the education and training required to become an orthodontist. For our patients, Dr. Wood’s experience, continued learning, and clinical judgment mean every treatment plan is carefully considered and designed around the individual patient.
Learn More About Dr. Wood
When you choose Rochester Family Orthodontics, you know who is responsible for your treatment.
As the practice owner and sole orthodontist, Dr. Wood is personally involved throughout your orthodontic journey. She gets to know her patients, understands the goals behind each treatment plan, and provides the consistency of having the same orthodontist guiding your treatment from beginning to end.
Our practice is intentionally kept small so we can preserve the personal attention and familiar relationships that matter to our patients.
Dr. Wood intentionally designed the office to feel calmer and more private than the typical orthodontic setting.
Floor-to-ceiling dividers in our main treatment area provide greater separation between patients, and a private treatment room offers additional privacy when needed.
Whether we’re caring for a child who feels nervous, a patient with special needs, an adult who appreciates greater privacy, or someone who simply prefers a quieter experience, our goal is to help you feel comfortable and at ease.
We want you to understand your orthodontic treatment, not simply be told what comes next.
Dr. Wood and our team take the time to listen to your questions and concerns, explain your options, and help you understand the reasoning behind treatment recommendations.
For parents, that means having the information you need to make confident decisions about your child’s smile. For teens and adults, it means being an active participant in your own treatment.
We invest in digital technology when it can make your orthodontic experience more comfortable, precise, or efficient.
Our Medit intraoral scanner creates a detailed 3D model of your teeth and bite without traditional impression material. Digital scans can be used to plan treatment and create orthodontic appliances such as expanders, clear aligners, and retainers.
Some orthodontic needs require more than one provider. In those cases, communication and collaboration matter.
Dr. Wood works closely with general dentists and dental specialists to coordinate treatment when a patient’s orthodontic needs are part of a larger dental plan. This may include creating space for a dental implant, positioning teeth before restorative treatment with veneers or crowns, or coordinating orthodontic treatment for patients who require jaw surgery.
Dr. Wood’s experience with interdisciplinary treatment allows her to look beyond tooth alignment and consider how orthodontics fits into your overall dental health and treatment goals.
Great orthodontic treatment takes a team. Ours combines experience and organization with a genuine desire to make patients and families feel welcome.
You can expect familiar faces, clear communication, and a team that takes pride in what they do. From keeping appointments running smoothly to answering questions along the way, we want you to feel like you’re in capable hands throughout your experience.
