Meet Dr. Larson
Creating confidence one smile at a time.
Meet Dr. Ethan Larson
Hello! A little bit about myself: I grew up in Washington state (the land of coffee and rain). After earning a B.A. in Biology from Covenant College, I attended the University of Alabama Dental School, where I received my doctorate degree in Dental Medicine (D.M.D). I stayed in Alabama for three more years and earned a master’s degree (M.S.) in Oral Biology and a Certificate of Specialty in Orthodontics.
I have been practicing orthodontics in the PNW for the past 11 years where I had two office locations, incredible staff, and many wonderful patients.
My family and I recently relocated to Arizona and we are proud to now call this beautiful, sunny state home. My wife, Dolly, and I have been married for 20 years. Together, we have two daughters, two sons, two dogs…and also a thing for symmetry (LOL). As a family, we love to go to concerts, play cards, wake surf, snow ski, and cook together. I also have a passion for BBQ. In another life, I think I would run my own Texas-style BBQ restaurant. While we love our Washington/Seattle Sports teams, we are excited to cheer on the Cardinals, Diamondbacks, and Suns.
In addition to my full family life, I remain enthusiastic about my work as an orthodontist. In order to provide the best care for my patients, I strive to stay at the forefront of the latest research, treatment, and technologies.
I am passionate about pursuing my faith through outreach in my church and the local community. I will carry this commitment over into the culture of my office. My biggest goal is to impact not only my patient’s smiles but also their lives. I look forward to the honor of meeting you all.

The staff is so inviting and friendly, the office is stunning, and Dr Larson is such a fun and knowledgeable orthodontist! I was nervous about getting braces as an adult, but I’m so glad I did and that I chose Dr Larson to do them. I love showing off my smile now!

We had a fantastic first visit to the Avelle Orthodontics office this past week. We took our 7 year old son in for an evaluation. The staff could not have been more kind and Dr. Larson gave my son a lot of attention and made him feel very welcome. It was a fun experience! We were very impressed! So glad we found out about this office.

Dr Larson is a very knowledgeable orthodontist. He treated me and my husband when he had his practice in WA state. He would always answer any questions and ease any concerns we had. I am so happy with the results and I love how my teeth look now. I make sure to smile in every single picture!

Luke and Callie K.
Dr. Larson has been an amazing orthodontist for our kids. He has a great demeanor, is very friendly and warm to the children, and speaks to us with respect. He created an excellent treatment plan for our children's orthodontic needs, and their smiles definitely show a difference. We are grateful for Dr. Larson and his team, and I highly recommend seeing him for any orthodontic work.

Dr. Larson treated my husband with Invisalign, and my four children with regular braces. We loved Dr. Larson for his kindness and friendliness, but above all, we appreciated him more because he is just an excellent doctor as an orthodontist. His knowledge, skills, perfectionism, professionalism is exceptional. Because of Dr. Larson’s treatment, my family have healthy and beautiful teeth. He did a wonderful job both with Invisalign and regular braces.I have to add the after care of his practice is also excellent. We have lost or broken our retainers multiple times, and they were prompt to make a new one so that we could resume using the retainer before the teeth start moving back.He truly cares for his patients and their well-being, and it shows in his work and the outcome. You will have a great experience with Dr. Larson and his staff as my whole family did.
