When you choose us as your orthodontist, you receive more than outstanding treatment. You
work directly with the owner himself!
Meet Dr. Brady Petersen, DMD, MS, a Las Vegas native and board-certified orthodontist at Orthobar, committed to providing exceptional care with personalized treatment plans using advanced techniques.
As a proud Las Vegas native, Dr. Petersen is passionate about giving back to his community by sharing his orthodontic expertise.
Dr. Petersen is not only known for creating beautiful smiles but also for his genuine care, offering personalized solutions tailored to each patient’s unique needs. At the University of Utah, Dr. Petersen earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Physiology and a minor in Chemistry.
He attended dental school at the University of Nevada Las Vegas School of Dental Medicine (UNLV-SDM), where he received his Doctorate in Dental Medicine (DMD) and was inducted into the prestigious Omicron Kappa Upsilon (OKU) National Honor Society.
After working as a general dentist for two years in the Las Vegas community, he pursued his passion for helping people obtain the smile of their dreams by attending a three-year advanced post-doctoral specialty training in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics at UNLV-SDM.
Dr. Petersen earned his Master’s Degree in Oral Biology and has since completed his Orthodontic Board Certification with the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO).
As a family-owned orthodontic practice, patients trust Petersen for his personalized approach that blends technical expertise with genuine care, making every visit feel unique. At Orthobar, it’s not just another orthodontic appointment — it feels like family. Dr. Peterson, Dr. Grahl, and their team go above and beyond, using the latest technology to create the healthiest, most beautiful smiles while ensuring a top-notch experience for every patient.
Believe it or not, not all orthodontists have obtained their board certification. In fact, fewer than half of all orthodontists are board-certified.
Achieving board certification is the final step in a long and comprehensive educational journey.
To achieve board certification, an orthodontist like Dr. Petersen must pass a rigorous set of written and clinical exams and a comprehensive review of their credentials, knowledge, and orthodontics skills.
What’s the difference between a dentist and an orthodontist? Orthodontists like Dr. Petersen are dentists who train for an extra two to three years to become specialists in straightening teeth, correcting malocclusions (bad bites), and improving facial esthetics.
Only dentists who successfully complete an accredited orthodontic residency program after dental school are accepted as members of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO). Our Las Vegas patients can smile knowing they are in the hands of an AAO orthodontic specialist like Dr. Petersen.
Outside of work, Dr. Petersen and his beautiful wife, Nicole, are kept busy by their four amazing children — Briggs, Grant, Teagan, and Olivia — who stay active with school, sports, music, and other daily activities
