About Us

Our Mission

At Hometown Orthodontics, we’re here to do more than straighten teeth—we’re here to make a real difference in the lives of the families we serve. Our mission is to deliver the highest level of orthodontic care to rural Utah, while keeping it warm, welcoming, and completely centered around you. Every patient matters, every smile has a story, and we’re here to treat both with respect, precision, and heart.

We combine advanced training and technology with small-town values to bring you the best of both worlds. Whether it’s your child’s first set of braces or a parent finally prioritizing their smile, we’re focused on creating an experience that inspires confidence beyond the chair. It’s not about volume—it’s about value, connection, and outcomes that last.

Dr. Kyle Tuttle

Approach

Dr. Kyle Tuttle approaches orthodontics with the belief that great outcomes come from both precision and personal connection. He treats every patient like family, taking the time to understand their goals and explain the “why” behind every step. His care doesn’t stop at straight teeth—he focuses on overall facial balance, airway health, and soft tissue esthetics. He uses the Pitts 21 bracket system and is trained in many non-surgical treatment approaches that are hard to come by in a rural area. Whether you’re starting treatment at age 7 or 47, Dr. Tuttle is committed to creating smiles that are built to last.

Credentials

Dr. Tuttle earned his Bachelor of Science in Nutrition Science from Utah State University and his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) from A.T. Still University in Arizona. He completed his orthodontic residency at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where he also earned a master’s degree in Oral Biology. His advanced training included mentorship from world-renowned orthodontists, including Dr. Tom Pitts. He is a proud member of the AAO, ADA, UDA, and the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association.

Personal

Originally from Fillmore, Utah, Dr. Tuttle is proud to raise his family in the community that shaped him. He and his wife, Cherish, have three wonderful kids—Kent, Maye, and Allie. He’s fluent in Brazilian Portuguese after serving a two-year mission in São Paulo. Outside the clinic, you’ll find him at local school events, coaching youth sports, enjoying the outdoors, or spending time with his family.

Proud to support Central Utah

At Hometown Orthodontics, community isn't just something we talk about—it's something we live every day. From Richfield to Delta and Holden to Ephraim, we're proud to serve the same small towns that raised us, and we take that responsibility to heart. Supporting our local youth goes far beyond braces—we believe in showing up for them both inside and outside the clinic.

That's why we sponsor high school athletics, extracurricular programs, and student-led events throughout Central Utah. Whether it's game-day banners, scholarships, or cheering from the stands, we're here to invest in the next generation. It’s not uncommon to see Dr. Tuttle at local sporting events and other extracurricular events cheering on his patients. To us, being part of a community means giving back to the people who make it special.

We’re here when you’re ready!
