BRAND IDENTITY / COLLATERAL
Keller & Wainwright Orthodontics
From outdated to elevated: a modern orthodontic brand that feels warm, professional, and trustworthy
Dr. Gabrielle Wainwright had just bought a 15-year-old orthodontic practice and inherited a brand that hadn't changed since it opened. Her challenge: one identity that could put a nervous 8-year-old at ease, and still read as credible to a skeptical adult patient.

Lean too playful, and adult patients question the practice's seriousness. Lean too clinical, and kids feel like just another number. Dr. Wainwright needed a brand that could do both without picking a side.
The Challenge
The Solution
We built a brand system anchored in warmth and precision. Clean typography and approachable forms, paired with a palette of muslin neutrals, cobalt, pine, and lilac fun enough to welcome, refined enough to trust. Submarks and patterns extend it across every touchpoint, from signage to stationery to social.
“From the start, Lauren made me feel comfortable and truly understood my vision. She brought so much more creativity and strategy than I expected."
