Meet Dr. Wes Cardall
“I’ll take on the hardest cases in town that other orthodontists don’t want to treat—and I consistently treat them with success.”
— Dr. Cardall
Dr. Wes Cardall is a California native and loves being able to call Bakersfield home. He opened Cardall Orthodontics in 2019 after serving the community for nearly seven years at Montano & Cardall Orthodontics. Today, he’s widely known by both patients and local dentists for having a meticulous eye for detail and possessing an ability to make even the most complex care feel straightforward.
What His Patients
Notice Most
Planning That Goes Beyond “Straight Teeth”
Dr. Cardall focuses closely on the small details because he wants to make sure everything works together in harmony. By getting everything from your bite to your facial balance in sync, you walk away with results that feel as good as they look.
Care That Fits Your Life
Dr. Cardall believes that everyone deserves high-quality orthodontic care. He works with each patient to build a treatment plan that not only addresses their clinical needs, but also fits into their everyday life.
Perfectionism at Every Stage
Before specializing in orthodontics, Dr. Cardall practiced cosmetic dentistry for three years. This experience helped cultivate his keen eye for subtle refinements that make a smile look more polished and natural.
Why He Chose Orthodontics
Ever since he was a kid, Dr. Cardall has wanted to do work that helps people feel more comfortable in their own skin. Early on, he even considered plastic surgery, but ultimately decided on orthodontics because it gives him the chance to have an impact on more people’s lives, more often. He truly cares about changing the smiles of his patients in a way that is visible and lasting.
Providing a great patient experience is also something Dr. Cardall cares strongly about. When he had braces as a teenager, one appointment left him in a lot of pain after an assistant was particularly rough putting bands around his back teeth. That appointment has stuck with him to this day and is one of the reasons he prioritizes a gentle approach with clear communication, creating an overall process that feels manageable, especially for kids.

Meet Dr. Stacy Rosenberg
“A beautiful smile can change the way someone sees themselves, and that is a responsibility I never take lightly.” — Dr. Rosenberg
Dr. Stacy Rosenberg was just 9 years old when she told her family that she was going to be an orthodontist. At 13, she became even more sure of this fact when she got braces. She was absolutely fascinated by the process.
This early excitement she felt continues to shape how she cares for her patients today, and having gone through orthodontic treatment herself, she understands how the start of treatment can feel. She knows that feeling of excitement and nervousness all wrapped into one. The most important thing to her is that every patient feels comfortable, informed, and confident from the moment they first walk in the door.
She’s originally from New York but made made her way west to California when she heard about Cardall Orthodontics and their reputation for high standards and consistently excellent results. She is proud to serve the Bakersfield community and feels truly grateful for the trust that so many local families put in the team.
Dr. Rosenberg treats children, teens, and adults, with nearly half of the practice made up of adult patients. She understands that treatment looks different at every stage of life. Whether it’s a child nervous about braces, a teen preparing for an important milestone, or an adult finally ready to invest in their smile, she wants her patients to feel heard, respected, and supported throughout their treatment.
What Patients Can Expect
Patients can expect a calm and steady presence at every appointment. Dr. Rosenberg believes in clear communication and thoughtful planning so there are no surprises along the way.
She pays close attention to the details that matter, as small adjustments create lasting results over time. Most importantly, she makes sure every patient knows exactly where they are in their treatment and what comes next.
Education and Professional Commitment
Dr. Rosenberg completed her orthodontic specialty training and is a board-certified orthodontist. She continues advanced training to ensure her patients receive high-quality care delivered with precision and integrity.
