The short answer for Davis families
Giannetti & Booms is the orthodontic specialty practice in Davis run by two Diplomates of the American Board of Orthodontics — the highest credential available in the orthodontic specialty. We treat children, teens, and adults across Davis and the surrounding Yolo County communities, with comprehensive Invisalign, Spark clear aligners, Damon Ultima braces, Phase 1 treatment for younger children, and airway-focused orthodontics.
Our Davis office is at 635 Anderson Rd, Suite 6, just off Russell Boulevard next to the Trader Joe's shopping center — a short drive from UC Davis, the Davis Farmers Market, and downtown. The first consultation is complimentary and includes a 3D digital scan, 3-D CBCT, exam by the orthodontist, and an itemized written treatment plan.
Why Davis families choose Giannetti & Booms
Two ABO Diplomates in one practice
Most orthodontic offices have one board-certified specialist. Many have none. Giannetti & Booms has two — Dr. Kelly Giannetti and Dr. Thais Booms. They have practiced together since 2007, consult on complex cases in real time, and bring different clinical lineages to the same patient: Dr. Giannetti trained at Harvard and UCSF and currently trains the UCSF orthodontic residents; Dr. Booms trained at the University of Michigan and served as Associate Professor before relocating to Sacramento.
For patients, that's the practical advantage. Most cases get the perspective of two specialists, not one. The complex ones — relapse cases, surgical coordination, adult cases with prior dental work — are routinely reviewed by both doctors before a treatment plan is finalized.
UC Davis roots
Dr. Giannetti earned her Bachelor of Science in Physiology in June 1990 from UC Davis before moving to Boston for Harvard. The Davis tie is genuine and goes back decades. Our Davis office is intentionally local — part of the community where one of our founding doctors went to college.
Specialty practice, not a chain
We are not a chain, not a corporate group, and not a general dental office offering aligners on the side. We are an orthodontic specialty practice. Every patient is treated by a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics — never delegated to a non-specialist provider. Treatment plans are written, itemized, and walked through with you before you commit. This is what top of the line specialty care looks like at a nationally recognized practice, located in Davis.
"The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that every child be evaluated by an orthodontist by age 7. It's never about starting braces at 7 — it's about establishing a baseline so we can guide growth at the right moments. Davis families consistently appreciate having that clarity early."
— Dr. Kelly GiannettiSurrounding Davis communities we serve
Our Davis office is the orthodontic home base for families across western and central Yolo County. We regularly treat patients commuting in from the surrounding communities:
Woodland families with K–12 students in the Woodland Joint Unified School District frequently drive into Davis for orthodontic care. Phase 1 evaluations and teen comprehensive treatment make up the largest share of Woodland patient volume.
Dixon and the rural-suburban corridor between Davis and Vacaville is underserved by specialty orthodontic offices. Our Davis location is the closest ABO Diplomate-staffed practice for most Dixon families.
The Winters community is small but family-dense. We see patients from Winters Elementary, Waggoner Middle, and Winters High consistently throughout the school year.
UC Davis undergraduate, graduate, and professional students start and complete orthodontic treatment with us during their academic years. We coordinate scheduling around quarter breaks, finals, and remote-monitoring options.
What to expect at your first Davis visit
The complimentary first consultation runs about 45 minutes. Here's the part of the visit that sets the foundation for everything that comes after:
3-D CBCT scan — this is cutting-edge technology and is a 3D X-ray, which gives detailed diagnostic information at low exposure — often less than the traditional full-mouth X-rays taken at the dentist's office. It shows skull anatomy and jaws, which is needed for accurate treatment planning and improved outcomes.
You leave with a clear picture and a written treatment plan. There is no records fee, no evaluation fee, and no pressure to schedule treatment that day. Read more in our honest 2026 breakdown of orthodontic costs in the Sacramento region.
