Amazing orthodontists

Amazing
orthodontists

All of our patients are unique individuals with specific needs and goals, and Dr. Otto and her extraordinary team of orthodontists treat each patient with personalized service.

Dr. Genevieve Otto

Dr. Genevieve Otto

Orthodontist

Growing up, I always had a passion for science and medicine as well strong creative interests in design and aesthetics. Orthodontics is the perfect field for me because I not only create functional, healthy smiles but also beautiful smiles that help balance facial aesthetics. While I treat patients of all ages, I really love that I can be a positive influence on many adolescents during a very influential time in their lives. I cherish the opportunity to help people in my own community and enjoy getting to know them during their treatment. A career in orthodontics has given me the opportunity to increase self-confidence by designing smiles that everyone is proud to show off. Being able to affect others in such a way is truly a gift.

Education

  • Bachelor of Science, Biomedical Sciences — University of Missouri
  • Doctor of Dental Surgery — University of Southern California
  • Master of Science & Certificate in Orthodontics — St. Louis University

Personal

I grew up in St. Charles, MO with my parents and two sisters who I am lucky to have a very close relationship with. Fortunately, my entire family still lives in St. Louis and I enjoy spending my free time with my parents, sisters, brothers-in-law and many nieces and nephews. My husband A.J. and I have three wonderful daughters of our own- Scarlett, Sloane and Teddi. When my husband and I are not running the practice, we love to travel with our daughters, try out new restaurants and spend time with friends and family.

Dr. Kirsten Karkow

Dr. Kirsten Karkow

Orthodontist

I love orthodontics. It’s a science and an art, and I’m proud to be in this field. Designing and creating gorgeous smiles is an artistic outlet for me, and I love working with all kinds of people to create their best smiles and watch their confidence grow. It doesn’t matter how complex the case is. We can do this, together.

Education

  • Early Acceptance into Dental School
  • Doctor of Dental Surgery — University of Iowa
  • Master of Science & Certificate in Orthodontics — Marquette University
  • Serves on the St. Louis Children’s Hospital Cleft Palate and Craniofacial Team Under the Division of Plastic Surgery

Personal

I grew up in Manchester, Iowa, in a big family. My husband, Nick, and I now live in Webster Groves with our daughters, Ava and Knox, and love the community there. I love hanging out with family, exploring the STL food scene, being active, and practicing pretty much any type of art.

Dr. Andrew Larkin

Dr. Andrew Larkin

Orthodontist

Since dental school, Dr. Larkin has always been very involved in the efforts of organized dentistry. He feels this involvement is necessary to protect the integrity of the profession to ensure positive patient outcomes. Dr. Larkin practices with this same fervor in helping his patients achieve a smile that portrays confidence and beauty throughout their lives.

Education

  • Bachelor of Arts, Biology & Spanish — University of Kansas (with a 7-month study at the University of Costa Rica)
  • Doctor of Dental Medicine & Master of Public Health — A.T. Still University, Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health
  • Master of Science in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics — Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health

Personal

Born and raised in southwestern Kansas, the Midwest is home to Dr. Andy Larkin. Dr. Larkin and his wife, Kim, love spending time outdoors with their daughter. McKenna, and Bernadoodle, Stanley. When he is not chairside, you may find him on the golf course, tennis court, or in a deer stand. He is an especially passionate college and professional sports fan, so catching Dr. Larkin at Allen Fieldhouse to cheer on the Jayhawks or the Enterprise Center to root for the Blues would be no surprise.

Dr. Roland

Dr. Katelyn Roland

Orthodontist

I truly believe that everything happens for a reason and my journey into the orthodontic profession is no different. I fell in love with the field after my first orthodontic visit at the age of 9 and found my passion for transforming smiles and making a positive impact on my patients’ lives. My attention to detail and drive for perfection is instilled in my core. These developed during childhood through my involvement in gymnastics. I continued as a collegiate gymnast and further gained an appreciation for teamwork. All of which help me to achieve the best orthodontic results for my patients.

Education

  • Bachelor of Science, Cellular and Molecular Biology — West Chester University of Pennsylvania
  • Doctor of Dental Medicine — Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine
  • Master of Science & Certificate in Orthodontics — St. Louis University

Personal

On a personal note, my husband, Steven, and I moved to Saint Louis with our ridgeback pup, Zola, for my orthodontic residency. We fell in love with the area and decided to make it our home. The vibrant community, diverse range of activities, and amazing food have made this city a special place for us.

Dr. Andrew Frost

Orthodontist

Dr. Andy Frost’s roots in the orthodontist business are as deep as the ones in your second bicuspid. Seriously now, Dr. Frost’s career as an orthodontist began even before he started perfecting smiles. Dr. Frost’s father, the late Dr. W. Dale Frost, was an orthodontist and passed his love of orthodontics on to his son. In the last 25 years, Dr. Frost has carried on his father’s legacy.

After finishing his undergraduate studies at Duke, Dr. Frost went on to dental school at Washington University in St. Louis and earned a Master of Science degree in Orthodontics from St. Louis University. While at SLU, Dr. Frost was awarded the Harry Sicher Award for his Master’s thesis. He is a member of the Greater St. Louis Dental Society, the American Dental Association and the American Association of Orthodontics. Dr. Frost has improved thousands of smiles for thousands of patients of all ages in the St. Louis area.

Connie O.
Otto staff was friendly and quick. They made a kind of scary experience (new braces) for my daughter painless and fun. They even gave her a swag bag when she left to help keep her braces and teeth looking great.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Connie! We're thrilled to hear that our staff made your daughter's experience with braces enjoyable and fun. The swag bag is just a little extra to keep smiles bright! Your kind words mean a lot to us!
Ashley F.
We are just beginning our treatment with Otto Orthodontics for my son, but I could not be happier so far. They worked with us through rescheduling due to inclement weather, and were helpful in getting his treatment started while we were already in office for a follow up consultation. The entire staff is incredibly kind and friendly, and I feel confident that we made the right choice in going with Otto for my son’s braces.
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your positive experience, Ashley! We're delighted to hear that you and your son feel confident in our team. Ensuring a smooth start to treatment is important to us, and we appreciate your kind words about our staff. We look forward to supporting you throughout the journey with your son's braces!
