Dr. Chris Woolaver is an orthodontist in Phoenix with over 20 years of experience helping patients achieve straighter, healthier smiles. He specializes in Invisalign clear aligners, traditional braces, and correcting crowding and spacing issues, and he's one of only three providers in Arizona with more than 4,000 completed Invisalign cases. Dr. Woolaver has been voted "Best Orthodontist" every year since opening his practice in 2008 and is recognized as a Top 1% Invisalign Provider in the United States. His personal journey—he was born with cleft lip and palate and wore braces until age 29—inspired him to become an orthodontist at age 11, and this experience shapes how he listens to each patient's goals and creates a personalized treatment plan. Dr. Woolaver is accepting new patients and is actively involved in supporting Phoenix schools, youth activities, and the local YMCA.
