We are committed to boosting your confidence and enhancing your smile, we offer personalized treatment backed by cutting-edge technology. Our skilled team provides a variety of options to meet each patient’s unique needs, including braces, clear braces, clear aligners (similar to Invisalign), and more. Our mission is to create beautiful smiles while ensuring our patients enjoy a healthy, functional bite that lasts a lifetime.
We emphasize clear and transparent communication with our Fort Collins patients, their parents, and other healthcare providers during their care. Offering benefits such as complimentary diagnostic exams, regular treatment updates, and online scheduling, our team strives to create a seamless and enjoyable experience from the moment you step through our doors. Our aim is to keep you well-informed about your diagnosis and treatment options, encouraging active involvement from both patients and their parents in developing and implementing their treatment plans.
Drs. Anthony and Carly Schiro both completed additional years of specialty training after dental school and hold board certification from the American Board of Orthodontics.
Digital scanning, 3D imaging, and in-office 3D printing mean faster, more comfortable visits and precise, personalized treatment.
We are a husband-and-wife team. You will see the same doctors at every visit, from your first scan to your retainer.
Your exam, digital scan, and personalized plan cost nothing, and we review insurance and payment plan options with you before anything begins.
Metal braces, clear braces, InBrace lingual braces that go behind your teeth, Invisalign, 3M Clarity Aligners, and our own in-house Ascend Aligners. We are one of the few practices in Northern Colorado and Fort Collins that offer lingual braces.
Ascend Orthodontics offers aligners like Invisalign, 3M Clarity Aligners, and our own in-house Ascend Aligners at our Fort Collins office. Because Drs. Anthony and Carly Schiro are board-certified orthodontists, your aligner treatment is planned and monitored by a specialist rather than mailed to you without an exam. Your first consultation is free, and we will tell you honestly whether aligners or braces are the better fit.
Cost depends on the complexity of your case and how long treatment takes, so the most accurate number comes from an exam. At Ascend Orthodontics your consultation is free, we review your insurance benefits up front, and we offer flexible monthly payment plans to fit your budget. Call (970) 221-2616 and we will give you an exact price before you commit to anything.
Yes, both of them. Dr. Anthony Schiro and Dr. Carly Schiro are each board certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, a voluntary credential that fewer than a third of orthodontists in the United States earn. It means your care is held to a higher, independently examined standard.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic check-up by age 7. Early visits let us catch jaw growth and crowding issues while your child is still developing, when they are easiest to guide. Most kids simply begin a free observation schedule until the timing is right, so an early visit does not mean early braces.
Yes. We offer InBrace lingual braces, which are bonded to the back of your teeth so they are completely hidden from view. It is one of the most discreet options in orthodontics, and Ascend is one of the few practices in Northern Colorado that provides it.
