About Keller & Wainwright Orthodontics

A trusted legacy of thoughtful orthodontic care

Specialty orthodontics, done right

Every smile is carefully evaluated, clearly explained, and guided by experienced clinical judgment from start to finish. You will have one provider throughout your treatment — Dr. Wainwright personally leads every case, ensuring continuity of care.

Doctor-Led Treatment

Dr. Wainwright personally evaluates and oversees every case, including braces, Invisalign, and Phase I treatment. We do not rely on generic protocols or auto-approved aligner setups.

Diagnosis-driven, Individualized Care

We assess growth, facial balance, bite function, and long-term outcomes before recommending care. Your plan is built around your anatomy and goals, not a template.

Orthodontics-Only Care

Orthodontics is the sole focus of our practice. That means your treatment is supported by specialized systems, dedicated workflows, and a team focused on long-term bite correction.

3D Imaging & Digital Planning

3D CBCT imaging and the Lumina iTero scanner replace guesswork with precision — giving you a more comfortable experience and treatment plans built on a complete view of your teeth, roots, and bite.

Our Story

Keller & Wainwright Orthodontics has cared for Sunnyvale families for over sixty years, with each generation of leadership building on the last.

The practice was founded by Dr. Robert Hortin, who mentored Dr. Rebecca Keller before her purchase of the practice in 2005. Dr. Keller and Dr. Wainwright both trained at the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry, where the program director later recommended Dr. Wainwright to Dr. Keller as she looked for a partner. Dr. Keller brought her on, mentored her, and eventually passed leadership of the practice to her.

What began as one orthodontist’s practice has become a small, specialty-focused team — committed to the same standards across every generation, and to the Sunnyvale community we’ve cared for since the beginning.
