Aside from their spectacular orthodontics services, one of my favorite things about Dexter Ortho is actually their community service and engagement. Dr. Moenssen is an absolute delight, bringing joy to the town with her billboards of Dexter youth and the most wonderful Santa to town each Christmas. 10/10 recommend.

Had to transfer to Dexter Orthodontics after we had to move across state. I was really nervous about the process and how my treatment plan would change. I have to say I am beyond pleased with the work Dexter Orthodontics has done. I love the detail work their have done to fix my teeth making sure everything is perfect and most importantly comfortable with my bite which was a major issue when I began. I will definitely recommend Dexter Orthodontics to anyone needing dental work. The staff is amazing and so it's the with they do!
