Our Team
Dr. Brian Baird
I grew up in Brigham City. I first became interested in orthodontics when I had braces as a senior in high school. Braces were pretty different back then, I had huge bands wrapped around every tooth, including the front. We tend to use lighter forces now days, too. I attended Utah State University in Logan. I earned my DDS degree at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond, Virginia, graduating Magna Cum Laude.
I continued my education at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Lincoln, Nebraska, earning my certificate of specialty in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics and an MS degree in oral biology. The research for my master’s thesis has been published in The American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics.
I love sports, music, hiking, traveling, photography, and doing anything with my family. I currently play saxophone with Larry Smith's Kicks Band in Logan (we play awesome big band jazz music). My wife and I are the parents of three awesome girls.
I get a lot of satisfaction from seeing the improvement we can make as the teeth align. Many people go from not wanting to smile to showing off their smile all the time. That's why I do what I do. My favorite appointments are when the braces come off! Seeing patients years later with a great looking smile still makes my day.
I enjoy working with our patients. I love working with the kids, and hope the best for them as they move on in life- college, working, marriage, etc. I like the adults, too. I hope everyone has a good life! It is a privilege for me to meet and try to serve our patients the best possible way.
Janet
Janet works with all our financial issues including payment arrangements and working with your insurance company to make sure you get your maximum possible benefit. She would much rather take money from them than out of your pocket! She helps organize our contests and does many other things which are invaluable to Dr. Baird and our practice. Janet is very dedicated to her job- working for you!
Gabbie
Gabbie is our orthodontic clinical technician. She is basically a superhero. She flies all over the office getting things ready for you. She is super careful and intuitive in the way she serves our patients. She will make sure you are taken care of each time you come. She is a ton of fun and she loves our patients. She works really hard to make sure things turn out just right.
