Our Staff

The friendly team of professionals at Ozark Orthodontics strives to help you obtain a beautiful smile. With over 80 years of combined experience with orthodontic treatment, you will be helped with all facets of your care. We make sure that each of our patients feels right at home and we focus on individualized care, as no two patients are alike.

Types of Braces We Use

The new techniques and appliances we use greatly reduce discomfort levels, cut down on the number of visits necessary, shorten your overall treatment time and may allow you to choose from several options. The metal braces we use are smaller and more comfortable than metal braces used years ago. These braces are made with high-grade stainless steel and are commonly used today.

We can work with you if you presently have clear brackets, but offer the esthetic, clear aligner alternative to move teeth.  This is a series of clear removable aligners provided by Invisalign.  These aligners are easy to clean which means that you can maintain good oral hygiene throughout your treatment.  You can brush, floss and rinse normally after eating and the aligners can be cleaned by brushing and rinsing them in warm water.

Your First Visit

We’re looking forward to meeting each of our new patients. After you schedule your first appointment with us, you will receive a letter and history form in the mail. Please complete the form and bring it with you. The first appointment will last about 45 minutes. During this visit you will receive a comprehensive clinical evaluation and time to discuss your concerns. We will inform you of the treatment options available to you and advise you on treatment timing. This consultation will include answers to any financial questions you may have regarding your treatment. For your convenience, we offer financing and payment plans and we’re able to accept most insurance programs.
