Orthodontists Dr. Jasmine M. Gorton D

I have been a client of Marin ortho for the past ten + years and they always take care of me. I needed a minor adjustment and they handled it with ease and speed. I have received comments how nice a smile I have on several occasions and once from a dentist that I met while traveling. I feel at home there. Thanks

We went to another orthodontist in the area and he told us that my daughter would need an oral surgery that would involve breaking her jaw! G&S was recommended by a friend and in our consultation they told us that they could correct her underbite with invisalign and rubber bands in 9 months, no surgery! This was huge. We received stellar service every time and my daughters teeth and smile are absolutely beautiful! More expensive than other ortho's but definitely worth it.

Cannot recommend Dr. Gorton and her staff enough! I was looking for a new place to get Invisalign after going through treatment twice (both times were with well-known dentists in San Francisco and let's just say. my teeth still weren't straight). I can't express this enough, do NOT go to a regular dentist for treatment, you need to go to an ortho who specializes in moving teeth! Dr. Gorton is a perfectionist and amazing at what she does.

I'm so thankful I found this place and very confident this will be the last time I have to do this. I always ask for Makiah when I go. She's so friendly and gentle when working on my teeth!

I can't say enough about Marin Ortho - they take such personalized approach to everyone's needs, never rushed, so very thoughtful to come up with manageable solutions, excellent results, available in emergencies. I was even told by 2 other orthodontists that my case was too complicated but Dr. Gorton came up with a solution and I am thrilled. We've had 3 people in my family be treated by them and the process and results have been A+.

I made a consultation appointment with them and was given care options for braces but strongly recommended to use Invisalign. As soon as I was ready, I had another appointment where Dr Schmohl walked me through how my teeth would be straightened, showing me projections of my teeth turning into beautifully straight teeth, a flat, uniform smile. The estimated treatment period was 9 months.

I signed all the paperwork and began Invisalign. Having gone into this as a teenager paying out of pocket I followed the orders religiously. This proved difficult though because each time I came in for an appointment, the advice of the doctor would contradict the last. One would recommend changing sets every two weeks, then another once a week, and another two sets per week, and would be upset that their specific instructions were not followed.

A little over a month in, I was told that I needed to use a device to help accommodate for the fast changes that they wanted to see. The doctor who explained the device did not mention any cost associated with it but when I was getting ready to go the secretary told me it had an out of pocket cost of $750. I said that I would rather not purchase it then, and she told me that the treatment would take 2x as long as initially anticipated if I did not buy the device.

They really pushed the sale, looking back I would guess that they have a high commission or sales quota for these. So reluctantly I purchased the device and went home to use it. I was supposed to use it one hour per day, which I did religiously for two weeks. When I returned for my next follow up, I told the doctor I had been using the device, who responded with surprise telling me that I should not be using that device, it was a mistake that I was given it and to discontinue use immediately.

On the next appointment, I brought the device back in and gave it to the doctor. This is where things really started to go poorly. It seemed almost every visit they either were not expecting me (I was always scheduled weeks out) or there was some issue with the trays. Attachments (bumps on your teeth) for the aligners to move better would be put on my teeth by one doctor, and then all removed shortly after by another who sees that the current set of aligners have no room for these attachments.

This is an uncomfortable experience, breathing a lot of dust and damaging teeth by removing some of the enamel / tooth to be done completely unnecessarily. Today I still have some of these bumps / attachments that they forgot to remove. My treatment took much longer than expected still, instead of 9 months taking 14 months. When they told me that this would be my final visit I was surprised.

The results were almost unnoticeable. The treatment actually created huge gaps in between my teeth. I asked Dr Schmohl about this and why my teeth looked nothing like the projections he initially showed me, he said it was hard to work with two of my smaller teeth, and that I should get them bonded which "will be inexpensive". When I persisted, he said that he did not do bonding but would refer me and wrote three names on a document.

I visited all three locations, all of whom said that they did not in fact do bonding. One of them suggested that I do veneers for $5k! The cherry on the top was that they added back onto my bill the cost of the device that they didn't want me to use, charging an additional $750 for a grand total of almost $8,000. On my last visit they installed a "permanent" retainer which broke two weeks later when I was eating an apple.

I called them to schedule an appointment and the secretary told me it would cost "about $500-$1000 to repair it", so I had my dentist fix it for free. It was clear in all cases that this office is more motivated by your pockets than your teeth, and once they have their services billed, they will not bother to help you. I am now being asked by my production manager to find a solution for straighter teeth. Dr's Gorton and Schmohl are a racket. If I had been smarter I would have disputed these charges. Stay away at all costs.

Simply the best! I started going to Dr. Schmohl and Dr. Gorton when I was nine years old; they completely changed my smile from crooked to straight. Now, 19 years later, I needed a little work done and still the most warm, friendly and talented group of people! Highly recommend!

Had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Gorton and her team! I needed braces after getting crowns and my retainer no longer fitting, thus my teeth shifted. We opted for invisalign and Dr. Gorton and her super team were so helpful and flexible with my schedule and all incredibly knowledgeable! I'm so so happy with the end results, Dr. Gorton even took the time at the end to file my ridges down to fix my bite and the chips I had in some of my teeth from normal wear and tear.

They really listened to my concerns and worked well with me. Everyone is so kind and I highly recommend at least getting a consult if you're on the fence! The payment plan they offer is so easy to keep track of.

Excellent treatment and results. Staff is always helpful, considerate and accommodating. Special thanks to Kiauna and Dr. Sona.

My teeth were moving quite a lot after many years. So much so that my dentist was thinking about pulling one of them out! Gorton and Schmoll were great in getting them back into shape. The clinic use the state of the art equipment and the Invisalign system is extremely convenient. The price seemed worth it and in my case I used their easy financing to spread the payments. Highly recommend. This is a very professional shop.

Dr. Gorton and team are the best orthodontists ANYWHERE. A few years ago I decided I'd had enough of my bad bite, and went to interview 2-3 orthodontists with good ratings. It was obvious from the start that Marin Ortho was the best choice. First of all, they LISTENED to me. If I EVER had a concern or question, they were available, totally respected every single one of my requests and in the end, they really gave me an amazing bite and smile.

It was miles away from great when I started. I had gone to them because I thought I wanted braces on the back of my teeth, but they convinced me to go with Invisalign and I'm so glad they did. In the end, they are more gentle and my improved bite will last much longer. In the interview process, a different orthodontist said he would have had to break my jaw to make any difference. That's SO invasive. NO THANK YOU. (they were fired, or never hired, because of their high-intervention, ridiculous approach.) Drs Gorton and Schmol have been amazing.

And a special mention to Kiauna for getting the point where she could scan me without once making me gag. THANK YOU to these amazing professionals for changing my face for the better and their total overall amazingness. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Dr. Gorton has a precise eye not only for aesthetics, but knows what it takes to create a healthy, functional smile that will last a lifetime if you wear your retainers as instructed. She takes a unique approach to treatment in that she not only sees your concerns as they currently appear, but also sees what you don't notice, but will notice as your smile starts to transform throughout the treatment process.

Her approach goes above and beyond by correcting any functional concerns in order to avoid future dental issues, such as the need for crowns from the bite being off etc. Treatment may seem daunting at first, but it has the potential to save you thousands of dollars later down the road. Before seeing Dr. Gorton I had two other orthodontists and my general dentists take a look at my receding gum line on the lower anterior and they had nothing to say about it.

The problem is they only noticed aesthetics and they were correct in that my teeth were perfectly straight, but they did not notice my top front teeth slamming into the lower front teeth. The first time I met Dr. Gorton she was able to tell me right away why I was losing so much bone and gum tissue and had a solution right then and there. To this day I'm so thankful to finally have a comfortable, healthy smile.

Can not say enough about the staff at G&S orthodontics! I've been with them for about 2 years and they totally changed the way my teeth looked, felt and functioned! They truely care about what's best for you - they are patient and understanding. Very clear about their pricing policy - no surprises! I felt very well taken care of, never rushed or taken for granted. If I was to say it one word I would say they are a top quality practise. Thank you to the entire team of G&S!

I'm beyond happy that we chose Marin Ortho/Gorton & Schmohl Orthodontics for our daughter's orthodontia needs. For me, they maintain exactly the right balance of exceptional service and care, professionalism, and bedside manner--and if your kiddo or you need braces, that properly-struck balance makes the whole process much, much easier. More, they offer invisalign--which we've indeed experienced as the far-less-painful-than-braces option--and orchestrate that process, which actually helps build goal-setting, communication, and accountability at home. Sold.

My daughter completed her Invisalign today and is happy with her new smile. Dr Gorton is extremely knowledgeable and her staff made the process so easy. She is known to be one the best in her field and that matched our experience. The beautiful office made each visit more enjoyable. Shout out to our favorite RDA Kiauna who made visits a joy.

We recently had a virtual appointment with Dr. Gorton for my daughters Invisalign treatment. I was so impressed with how well the appointment went! They asked for a series of photos to be submitted (with very simple instructions on how to take them) and at the time of the appointment they had them up on the screen and were able to accurately analyze my daughters progress based on her charts, and show us exactly where she is with her treatment plan. Dr. Gorton was even able to determine that my daughter no longer needs to wear her rubber bands during the day! I was so glad that we were able to have a virtual appointment and confidently feel that we are moving forward with her treatment plan, even during these crazy times.

Had some previous dental work that was due for an update but in order to get a significant improvement in the crowns, the bite needed to be corrected in the front. The doctors have been patient with my approaching treatment at my own pace and I look forward to seeing the final results when my bite is corrected. And also my 12 year old daughter started her Invisalign treatment a few months ago and has been super easy and smooth. Dr. Gorton has an incredible team, everyone is really nice and friendly.

Not only professional but also high tech, beautiful and modern office! Treated to more optimally align the teeth and to achieve more width in the smile for more youthful appearance. Treatment was fast and efficient and made a noticeable improvement in the esthetics of the smile. Doctors truly care about the patients in the practice and are willing to spend the extra time to make sure even the most complex cases achieve the best result possible. 5 Stars for sure.

They have invested in the latest technology including scanners and CAD that are amazing. It makes the entire process comfortable and easy. Both orthodontists and every member of the staff is polite, professional and extremely patient. This is the place to go for orthodontics.

I had already completed full Orthodontic treatment in the area to a good result. It was only after starting to work as an assistant at Gorton and Schmohl Orthodontics I learned the importance of having your teeth match the natural arc of your smile in which my teeth didn't, they were straight across. I am now in a short course of Invisalign treatment to add smoothness to my smile and I am amazed with how much my smile has improved already!

My 9 year old son just completed his first phase of Invisalign at Gorton & Schmohl and it was a fantastic and painless experience. Not only does his smile look great now but he never dreaded going to any of his appointments. Everyone on their staff is so friendly and warm and the surroundings are bright & cheery. Dr. Gorton uses the most up-to-date technology and we couldn't imagine having a better Orthodontist. Thank you so much Dr. Gorton!

From the first visit, when our son was still sucking his thumb and Dr Schmohl carefully applied Mavala to his thumb nail we knew we were in the right place. He stopped thumb sucking that same day! It's been a fabulous experience (and a challenging/complex case) but as our son leaves for college with a gorgeous smile we are so grateful to this practice for their amazing care and expertise- there is no doubt our other two children's orthodontic needs will be placed in their care as well.

Thank you, for your uncommon kindness, and for exceeding our expectations in every area- it means a lot to us that you and everyone we interacted with cared so much about Oscar's smile!

Dr Gorton has been taking care of my patients orthodontic treatments for a long time. She is very conscientious and fair. Excellent treatment. Thank you Jasmine Dr Ghiassi

This is the best orthodontics imaginable. Both of my daughters had braces here, I had invisalign and my husband has invisalign now. The Drs are perfectionists and do a magnificent job. Everyone in the office is super professional and very nice. I always leave there smiling. You will be thrilled with how you look when you are finished with treatment. They are fantastic!

A big thanks to Dr. Jasmine Gorton and Dr. William Schmohl for their expertise and care with our daughters' smiles. We had started the process with another orthodontist who wanted to pull healthy teeth to fit some prescribed mold and rearrange our girls faces. I then met Jasmine, she assured me that this was completely unnecessary (never mind barbaric), and the Gorton and Schmohl team has successfully worked our girls teeth into absolutely beautiful smiles. Gorton and Schmohl has been a special place for our girls through middle and high school, and we've really appreciated their caring staff and beautiful new office. Lori is an absolute gem! Treasured times.

Such an amazing experience at Gorton & Schmohl Orthodontics. Not only are the doctors and staff fantastic, the office is state of the art and very relaxing. Every single person I have interacted with has been so accommodating and professional, even with unusual requests. Dr. Gorton is fantastic, she walked me through every step of the process and her work is very precise.

My teeth look better than they ever have thanks to her very detailed eye. She is a Harvard trained orthodontist who has studied the best ways to shape and manicure teeth based on the individual's specific features. I can't say enough about this orthodontics practice and Dr. Gorton. I've been showing off my teeth to all my friends and colleagues and telling them about Gorton & Schmohl Orthodontics. If you want the best orthodontic work in the Bay choose this practice!

I filled out the paperwork in advance of my daughter's appointment and gave all of my insurance information. The appointment went well, and they seem good at what they do. BUT when it came to discussing my coverage, they said they'd contacted my insurer and been told that I had NO orthodontic coverage. I had heard from my colleagues that we have excellent orthodontic coverage, so I double checked with my benefits guy. Turns out, Gorton & Schmohl isn't in my insurer's network (ie doesn't accept my insurer's plan).

Instead of saying, "we aren't in your network, but you'll be covered elsewhere, " Gorton & Schmohl tried to work out a payment plan for me to pay full price at their practice when I'm covered 90% elsewhere. If I hadn't done my own legwork, I'd be out $7,000.
