What Makes Us Different


  • Community

    We are your local orthodontist, and Lancaster is home for Dr. Malaga and his family. We take great pride in supporting our schools and students by sponsoring events in sports, music, theater and 4H programs.

  • Relationships

    With just one location, our focus is entirely on you! Being a community-centered practice means we can truly get to know our patients and their families, ensuring we provide the best possible care.

  • Friendly Atmosphere

    Our atmosphere is refreshing, fun, and relaxing with a positive energy.

  • Contests and Events

    Be on the lookout for contests, giveaways, patient of the month, ice cream social and patient appreciation events throughout the year!

  • Patient Rewards

    At each routine appointment during orthodontic treatment, you have the opportunity to earn Malaga Money, which you can trade in for gift cards and prizes.

  • Our Doctor

    Dr. Malaga is a specialist in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. This means he spent three years beyond his dental training to earn his master’s degree in orthodontics. Dr. M. is approachable and easy to talk to, and you can expect high fives, fist bumps, and personal care calls directly from him. He is also available to discuss your treatment at any time—just ask.

    Our staff addresses you by name, gets to know you on a personal level, greets you with a warm reception, makes sure you are always comfortable, readily answers questions with a smile, treats you like family, and makes you feel at home.

  • Short Wait Times

    We always try to be accommodating to your schedule and ensure short wait times for your appointments. You will be in and out for every visit without feeling rushed.

  • Brushing Station

    Our toothbrush station is always available so you can brush your teeth when you arrive before each appointment.

  • Complimentary T-Shirts

    You will get a t-shirt at your first appointment. If you outgrow your t-shirt let us know and we will get you a new one!

“As an adult who wore braces, I had a very positive experience at Dr. Malaga Orthodontics. Communication with Dr. Malaga was always clear and reassuring, and the level of care I received was excellent. Scheduling was very flexible, which made appointments easy to manage, and the available payment plan options were extremely helpful.”
