About Heiner Orthodontics
At Heiner Orthodontics, we believe every smile tells a story, and every treatment should begin with a clear vision of where that story is headed. That’s why our approach is guided by one simple philosophy: Begin with the end in mind. Every recommendation we make is designed around creating healthy function, lasting confidence, and beautiful results that patients will enjoy for years to come.
For over 45 years, we’ve been honored to serve the Modesto community by providing personalized orthodontic care in a welcoming, privately owned practice where patients always know who’s caring for their smile.






Serving Modesto, Generation After Generation
Dr. Stan Heiner started his Modesto orthodontic practice in 1980 with a focus on providing personal, relationship-driven care to local families. As a privately owned practice, we’ve had the privilege of caring for generations of patients, including the children and grandchildren of people we treated years ago.
No matter when you walk through our doors, you can expect the same attentive, personalized care that has shaped our practice from the beginning.
Our Approach to Better Smiles
Rather than simply straightening teeth, we focus on creating healthy, balanced smiles designed to look beautiful and function well long after your treatment is complete. Our philosophy centers on planning every detail before treatment begins, using advanced technology and thoughtful treatment planning to help achieve predictable results while creating what we’ve become known for throughout the community: the Heiner Smile.

Our Advanced Technology
At Heiner Orthodontics, we use advanced digital tools, including iTero® digital impressions and 3D CBCT imaging, to create detailed treatment plans that support greater comfort, precision, and efficiency. These technologies also help us evaluate important factors like airway development and smile design, allowing us to personalize treatment for every patient.
Connected to the Community
Modesto isn’t just where we practice; it’s home. We’ve had the privilege of caring for generations of local families over our 45+ years.
As an active member of his church, Dr. Heiner and his family have been committed to serving others in meaningful ways. For 10 years, his wife organized an annual community concert before Thanksgiving to help local families facing food insecurity. This spirit of generosity and service continues to reflect the values that guide Heiner Orthodontics today.
