Dr. Christopher brings experience and innovation to every appointment, while Dr. Farjo in Walla Walla and Dr. Tilley in La Grande bring their own flavor of community-rooted care.

What Specialized Care Actually Looks Like
Specialized orthodontic care means treatment that’s crafted just for you and not off the shelf. Patients at Christopher Orthodontics begin with a no-cost consultation that includes a full assessment and digital imaging, ensuring every plan fits your mouth and your goals.
You also get choices like: traditional metal braces, Invisalign™ clear aligners, or 3D‑printed LightForce clear braces. Doctors like Dr. Christopher, Dr. Farjo, and Dr. Tilley bring not only expertise but also local insight that keeps treatment feeling personal.
Next, let’s explore how specialized care at Christopher Orthodontics is powered by an experienced team that knows how to personalize treatment at every step.
What Experience Brings to the Table
“Experience” in orthodontics goes beyond how long someone’s been doing their job. It means knowing what works, what doesn’t, and how to tailor every detail to the person in the chair. Here’s how that expertise comes to life at Christopher Orthodontics:
- Dr. Christopher brings Ivy League training and small-town energy into every visit. As a Harvard grad and top 1% Invisalign provider, he’s built a reputation for combining tech with warmth. You’ll find him just as focused on your treatment plan as he is on making your appointment feel like a visit with a neighbor.
- Dr. Farjo brings a steady mix of precision and kindness to Walla Walla. Also trained at Harvard and anInvisalign Platinum Plus Provider, she treats every smile like it’s a reflection of her own standards, and it shows in the way patients stay relaxed and informed from day one.
- Dr. Tilley brings fresh energy to both La Grande and Walla Walla, along with a big heart and a clear focus on helping patients feel their best. He’s known for keeping orthodontic care practical and approachable for local families. He makes sure each appointment is efficient, comfortable, and easy to work into even the busiest schedules.

Here’s how tailored orthodontics makes a difference:

- Gives adultslow-profile solutions like Invisalign that blend into workdays, meetings, and family life
- Reduces office visits while improving precision with LightForce clear braces, 3D‑printed for a personalized fit
This kind of flexibility is the result of thoughtful planning, advanced tools, and an orthodontic team that knows how to meet patients where they are. Whether you’re in Ellensburg, Yakima, La Grande, or Walla Walla, you’ll find care that fits.

The Post-Braces Chapter of Specialized Care
Specialized care isn’t over when the brackets come off. At Christopher Orthodontics, maintaining your new smile is treated with the same precision as crafting it!
Two custom retainer options provide the balance between convenience and long-term stability:
Lingual-bonded retainers are slickly tucked behind your teeth for continuous support you don’t have to think about. They’re great for active schedules or daily routines.
Clear Essix retainers, made from transparent trays, offer a low-profile, removable alternative that lets you smile on your own terms.
Each is tailored to patients of all types, from middle school athletes to professionals managing remote work.
For even more peace of mind, the practice offers an 8-Year Retainer Plan designed to help patients maintain their results without the stress of unexpected retainer repairs or replacements.
Retainers might be small, but they play a big role in keeping personalized treatment on course long after the big milestones. Up next: why Christopher Orthodontics‘ community connection turns treatment into an experience that lasts.
