Michelle W.
We had a fantastic experience at Otto Orthodontics today for my daughter’s initial consultation with Dr. Larkin. He recommended a palate expander as part of her treatment plan to address her overcrowding during phase 1, which I really appreciated. What stood out most was the staff—they were incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely engaged with my daughter. They took the time to listen to her (even when she was being a little silly!) and made her feel completely comfortable instead of rushed. The entire visit felt welcoming and thorough from start to finish. My only regret is not choosing Otto Orthodontics for my own treatment last year. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Michelle! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Dr. Larkin and our team. Making our patients feel comfortable and engaged is our top priority. We appreciate your recommendation!
Shaunda C.
Oh man! They are great! I had no baby sitter so I had to bring the 2 year old with me. She talked loud and ran around the whole office and worker joined in and played with while i received the services that I came for. I won’t bring here next time but if I had to I know it would not be a problem. The doctor that I saw was great! I couldn’t have asked for better service. Thank you
Rae N.
5 months in and couldn’t be more impressed with my progress. Every visit is so quick and easy and everyone is always so nice.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Rae! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a positive experience with our team. Your comfort and understanding during the Invisalign process are our top priorities. Excited to support you on this journey!

Dr Roland and all of the girls were so sweet, personable, professional, knowledgeable, and experienced! I will definitely be back for all of my ortho needs.

Great staff, always super friendly, my kids love the fun energetic atmosphere, and most important my child’s cross bite and crowding have been fixed! They’re flexible and have many options for appointment times that work well for everyone. Definitely will use in the future if any more of our kids require orthodontia.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Rich or Lauren, for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted that your kids enjoy the energetic atmosphere and appreciate our flexible appointment options. It's great to hear about the positive results, and we look forward to serving your family in the future!
Justin Short S.
Dr. Otto and her team are the best. I’m a retired general dentist and had many options of where to take my child. I chose Otto for a reason. Besides clinical expertise they are very efficient and do not waste your time sitting around the office waiting.

Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your feedback! Our team is dedicated to providing a respectful and professional environment for everyone. It's wonderful to hear that this commitment is recognized.
Michael L.
I was told that going with Invisalign would be a better option and more cost effective. Upon receipt of the estimate, it was the same as a more complicated case of braces for another family about 14 months prior. I feel that the information was misleading. My original post did not reflect the true comparison of the cost between the two treatment plans. After further review I realized now that the cost of Invisalign is a more cost-effective option. Thanks, Otto, for helping me to understand the treatment options, cost, and for our family's current treatment.
Response from the owner:We truly appreciate you leaving this review! Our team strives every day to make our office a place where patients feel welcomed and well taken care of.
Kayla R.
My son just got his braces removed and I swear for the last 2 years we have had the most positive experience every single time we’ve gone into the Otto Orthodontics Wentzville office. They go above and beyond in every way. Highly, highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience, Kayla. We're thrilled to hear that you and your son have enjoyed such positive visits. Your recommendation means a lot to us!

Absolutely loved going here! My before and after is amazing! The whole staff is very sweet and guided me through the whole process perfectly!
