Giving someone a reason to smile is one of my favorite gifts to be able to give. I truly enjoy working with kids throughout life’s stages of growth and development and to play a role in their overall health, happiness, and confidence! I also love working with adults to help them achieve their smile goals and to simultaneously provide healthy, functional, and long lasting teeth and bites. The only thing better than getting a smile is giving a smile!

Dr. Pehrson Hawkley brings a wealth of expertise and a deeply compassionate approach to orthodontic care. With a foundation in general dentistry and advanced training in orthodontics, Dr. Hawkley’s journey has been marked by a dedication to lifelong learning and exceptional patient care. During his service as an orthodontist in the U.S. Air Force in Okinawa, Japan, he gained extensive experience handling complex and surgical orthodontic cases, refining his skills in delivering personalized, high-quality care. This commitment to excellence forms the cornerstone of Hawkley Orthodontics, where Dr. Hawkley is passionate about helping patients achieve confident, lasting smiles.


Beyond the clinic, Dr. Hawkley and his family are excited to build meaningful connections in the San Clemente community.
