Dr. Sara Patterson

otto-matic confidence in every smile

Dr. Sara Patterson

Orthodontist

It is a privilege to join the team at Otto Orthodontics and to continue serving the St. Louis community. I earned my Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from A.T. Still University in Missouri and went on to complete a comprehensive three-year orthodontic residency at the University of Pittsburgh. During my training, I had the opportunity to learn from leading experts in biomechanics and craniofacial growth and development—experiences that have profoundly shaped my clinical philosophy. I am committed to providing personalized, evidence-based treatment that transforms smiles and changes lives.

My daughter, Sage, and our Golden Cavapoo, Scout, are excited to be returning to The Hill. Outside the office, I enjoy staying active at CycleBar and cheering Sage on at the soccer field.

Whether you are exploring orthodontic treatment for your child, teen, or yourself, I look forward to partnering with you to achieve a smile that reflects your best self.

Education

  • Bachelor of Science, Biology and Biological Sciences — St. Louis University
  • Doctor of Dental Medicine — A.T. Still University
  • Master of Dental Science in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics — University of Pittsburgh

We had a wonderful experience for phase 1 & 2 of braces! Otto orthodontics is the best!!
Jessica G.
Great experience! My daughter isn't quite ready for braces yet, and I really appreciated how honest and upfront they were about that. Everyone was so friendly, professional, and made us feel welcome. I highly recommend them!
Sierra W.
Wonderful team and doctor. Great experience every time we come. Would highly recommend!
Tim S.
Just committed to second round of teeth straightening for our daughter Sophia. Otto orthodontics was amazing start to finish with her first round. Looking forward to her completed process! Don’t look further for an amazing orthodontist experience for your kiddos!
Emmy K.
Dr. Otto was able to have our son come in outside of office hours to repair his appliance that came undone. We appreciate the quick and attentive response to his needs!!
Ashley G.
Walked in for a consult and left with braces for my 16 year old an hour and forty five minutes later. The most pleasant staff! Couldn’t imagine going anywhere else!
Amy V.
Dr Larkin was incredible in guiding my orthodontic care using Invisalign. I was hesitant to do it at 50yrs old, but now that I’m done I’m so happy I did.
Jackie K.
Otto Orthodontics got us in quickly and efficiently created a treatment plan. Each appointment was under 40 minutes. A well oiled office!
Westley R.
I was recommended Otto from a past customer. I started the Invisalign journey today. The team at Otto made everything very easy. Excited to see the final results. I would definitely recommended to anyone!
Kasey F.
We love Otto! Nicole has been working with my son Leo and she has been exceptional. Dr. Larkin is amazing, as well. Nicole lets my daughter, Rowan, be her little assistant and now she wants to be an Orthodontist when she grows up because of her. My kids always have a good time 😊
STLO
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.
Rachel D.
They are very detailed with explaining and super easy to get ahold of between calling and texts!
Marissa P.
After the first consultation my daughter loved the staff and very comfortable with the place! This is what made us go with Otto orthodontics! Ever since they have been very communicative and friendly! Love the point system they offer as well. Highly recommend them.
Jessica M.
Every time we walk in we feel welcome! The girls and Dr. Larkin are great. Not only are they knowledgeable and do a great job, but they are fun and inviting. You can tell they enjoy their job!
Kelly S.
My daughter (9) had her first appointment today, and she had such a great experience!! She was very nervous, but every staff member was so kind and reassuring. She can't wait to go back!!
