Meet the Doctors

Orthodontics is a passion for me. I love that I can be a positive influence on many adolescents during a very influential time in their life. I cherish the opportunity to help people in the community and love getting to know them during their treatment. Orthodontics provides the opportunity to increase self confidence and provide a smile that everyone is proud to show off. It is truly a blessing to have an opportunity to affect others in such a way.

Education

• Master of Dental Surgery – St. Louis University
• Certificate in Orthodontics – St. Louis University

My Family

I grew up in St. Charles, MO. I am blessed to have a close relationship with my parents and two sisters who all live in St. Louis. I have the most supportive husband, A.J, two beautiful twin daughters, Scarlett and Sloane, and our new baby Teddi.

In my free time, I love to spend time with my family and friends. I also love to read, travel and have an interest in interior and fashion design.

Dr. Erin Fraundorf began her road to orthodontics in her native state of Wisconsin where she earned her Bachelor of Science degree in biology, biochemistry and Spanish at the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse. Here, she also obtained a minor in art which has translated significantly into her practice of orthodontics. Following college, Dr. Fraundorf earned her Doctorate of Dental Medicine at the University of Louisville where she graduated valedictorian of her class. She then returned to the midwest to continue her education at Saint Louis University Center for Advanced Dental Education. She completed a 30 month residency of specialized training in orthodontics and received a specialty Certificate in Orthodontics as well as a Master of Science in Dentistry and Orthodontics (where she again graduated valedictorian!). Dr. Fraundorf had the unique opportunity to complete a fellowship with Washington University’s Craniofacial Cleft Lip and Palate team at St. Louis Children’s Hospital. She was also actively involved with the Boys and Girls Club Dental Clinic where she provided no-cost dental care to local community members. During her residency, she fell in love with STL and just had to stay!

Dr. Fraundorf is an active member of the American Association of Orthodontists, American Dental Association and the Orthodontic Education and Research Foundation. Based on her scholastic achievements, she has also been inducted into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon National Dental Honor Society, Phi Kappa Phi All-University Honor Society and Delphi Society.

Led by passion for service, excellence and obviously teeth, Dr. Fraundorf will do everything to help you reach your smile goals. While she is classically trained as an orthodontist, her treatment is modern and she thinks outside the norm. She is all about working with you to create a plan that best fits your specific lifestyle and desires. She is obsessed with details and will go the extra mile to help you perfect your smile.

Dr. Fraundorf is thrilled to now call St Louis home. When she’s out of her white coat, she can be found enjoying time with family and friends, practicing yoga, painting, walking with her cute pup, Finnegan, and hanging out at local farmers’ markets. Dr. Fraundorf is beyond excited to join the Otto Orthodontics family and cannot wait to help you achieve your perfect, confident and most beautiful smile!
