Get to know us

We are fortunate to offer our patients an excellent team of dedicated professionals that truly care about what they do. They give 110% for our patients and our practice.

Our technology

high-tech comfort & Care

We firmly believe that technology plays a crucial role in achieving optimal results for our patients, and it is one of the key factors that sets us apart from other orthodontic practices.

iTERO SCANNER

Thanks to the revolutionary iTero scanning technology, you no longer have to bite down on uncomfortable molds to get an impression of your teeth.

Digital X-Rays

These X-rays provide us with detailed images of a patient’s smile, allowing us to accurately diagnose issues and create a customized treatment plan.

Precision Bracket Placement

Precision Bracket Placement is a technique that leverages advanced computer software to plan the exact position of each bracket on a patient’s teeth.

In-House Lab & retainers

With our in-house lab, we can fabricate your retainers right here in our office, which allows for a better fit and faster fabrication of appliances.

We Love Serving Our Community

Our St. Louis communities are not just where we work. We also live, grow, and raise our families in these same areas.

At Otto Orthodontics, we are dedicated to showing our support and giving back to the communities we love so much.
