Top-Rated Murrieta Orthodontist

Rucker Orthodontics is co-owned by brothers and lead orthodontists Drs. Jon and Ryan Rucker. Family and patient-focused, they take pride in providing high-quality orthodontic care to adults, teens, and children. Their mission is to exceed the expectations of what you think is possible for your smile. They work closely with each patient to create a customized and comprehensive treatment plan that is individualized for each of their patients.

Our Murrieta office opened on January 27, 2025, bringing Murrieta families the same care Rucker Orthodontics has provided since 2014, a practice that has completed over 10,000 orthodontic cases and has been voted Best Orthodontist every year since 2014 by residents of Temecula and Murrieta.

Our Murrieta office holds a 5.0-star Google rating from 129 reviews as of October 21, 2026, and families can read those reviews on our Google profile and our patient reviews page.

Patients at our Murrieta office are treated by Dr. Jon Rucker, DDS, MS, board certified by the American Board of Orthodontics since 2013, and Dr. Ryan Rucker, DDS, MS, board certified since 2021, and both trained at Saint Louis University’s Center for Advanced Dental Education. Both doctors are members of the American Association of Orthodontists, the American Dental Association and the California Dental Association, and Rucker Orthodontics is a registered continuing education provider with the Dental Board of California.

We understand the anxiety and stress associated with orthodontic treatments, so we keep our patients informed throughout the process. We provide clear explanations of what needs to be done and go above and beyond to exceed your expectations.

If you are looking for an orthodontist in Murrieta, CA for your family, contact Rucker Orthodontics today and schedule a free consultation, in person or virtually. When the evaluation is complete, treatment is appropriate and you are ready, many patients can start at the consultation, which saves busy Murrieta families a separate trip, and we offer zero-interest financing, family discounts and FSA or HSA payment.

Orthodontic Services We Offer

We offer both traditional metal braces and ceramic braces. Traditional metal braces are made from stainless steel and are the most common type of braces used today. They are more common than other types of braces and can be used for a variety of cases. Ceramic braces are made from clear or tooth-colored brackets that blend in with your natural tooth color for a more discreet look. Both types of braces work in the same way by applying gentle pressure to move teeth into their correct positions over time.

Invisalign remains available at our Murrieta office alongside Spark, our preferred clear aligner, and Rucker Orthodontics first earned Invisalign Diamond provider status in 2015. Invisalign is an alternative to traditional metal braces that use clear plastic aligners. These aligners fit comfortably over your teeth and gradually shift them without anyone even knowing they’re there! Plus, since they’re removable, you can easily take them out when eating or brushing your teeth.

Two-phase treatment is designed for children with overcrowded or protruding teeth and jaw issues that need attention. The first phase focuses on correcting jaw misalignments, while the second phase focuses on straightening crooked teeth with an orthodontic appliance such as braces or aligners.

Airway orthodontics is an innovative treatment that focuses on relieving breathing difficulties caused by an obstructed airway due to misaligned jaws or poor development in facial structure. By correcting these issues early on with airway orthodontics, our team can help prevent long-term health risks such as sleep apnea, snoring, headaches, neck pain, and fatigue due to lack of oxygen intake during sleep.

Invisalign Provider In Murrieta, CA

Invisalign is a popular alternative to traditional metal braces that uses a series of clear plastic aligners that gradually shift teeth into their correct positions over time. Since the aligners are removable, it makes eating and brushing much easier. They also require fewer orthodontist visits than traditional braces, which can be a huge convenience for busy patients.

Rucker Orthodontics first achieved Invisalign Diamond provider status in 2015, and Invisalign is still offered at our Murrieta office for patients who prefer it. Our doctors also offer Spark, our preferred clear aligner system, because it lets them customize treatment around the smile arc and arch width that guide our braces treatment. Whether you choose braces or clear aligners, our goal is a carefully planned Rucker smile tailored to you, so ask about both options at your free consultation.

Braces in Murrieta, CA

Often, when people think of the orthodontist, they think of braces. Braces are the go-to, traditional treatment for misaligned bites, overcrowding, gaps between teeth, and many other orthodontic issues. The reason they’re so well-known is that they are incredibly effective.

For starters, braces can alleviate the discomfort caused by malocclusions or misaligned bites. Misaligned bites can cause significant discomfort, such as pain when eating, speaking, or even breathing. Moreover, braces can improve your overall oral health. When teeth are correctly aligned, they are easier to clean properly, reducing the chance of gum disease, cavities, or other dental problems. If you’re interested in learning more about braces in Murrieta, CA, contact us today and schedule a free consultation.

Types of Braces we Provide

We provide traditional and ceramic braces in Murrieta, CA, to accommodate the needs of our patients. Traditional metal braces have come a long way since they were first used decades ago; they are now much smaller, more comfortable, and less intrusive than ever before. Each bracket is placed individually, making them more effective and specific to your smile. However, if you are looking for a more discreet braces option, ceramic brackets blend in with teeth to be almost invisible. They are still just as effective as traditional braces, just less noticeable.

If you need assistance deciding which types of braces are best for you, our orthodontists will be happy to work with you and provide advice on which appliance is right for you.
