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

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.

kiwi F.

Hands down best experience I have ever had. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. I essentially went in for a consultation regarding Invisalign or braces, and I left work braces the same day. It was such an easy to understand experience and everyone had such a positive attitude. Amazing experience.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that our team made your Invisalign consultation such a positive experience. Your new braces are just the beginning of your journey with us. Looking forward to seeing you again!

Trista K.

Huge Shout out to our FABULOUS Dental Technician, Nichole!! She has this gentle, warm presence that is so friendly and comforting but she is also very knowledgeable!! We are proud clients of OTTO Orthodontics and have been absolutely amazed with the consistency throughout the entire experience. The front desk staff are always very warm and welcoming, and our wonderful dental technician Nichole is absolutely stellar! I am confident that OTTO Orthodontics is well aware how much of a huge asset Nichole is to their team! We have seen her a few times and every time she picks up right where we left off! She makes my 12-year-old daughter feel more than comfortable, and is professional, and also extremely thorough, explaining all steps and any important information that my daughter should know in effort to reach the best possible outcome - she is patient and also is FANTASTIC in providing wonderful suggestions based on my daughters likes! (Huge bonus that she also is actually “in the know” with what is trendy for her age group! 😜😬😍) She is personable and professional, but above all she is absolutely amazing at what she does! Everyone in this office has been WONDERFUL, but we are always hopeful that it is Nichole that we get to visit with again! Love everything about this place; the cleanliness, efficiency, professionalism not to mention the wonderful results we have seen in such a short amount of time! Dr. Larkin really took time to understand what we are trying to achieve and even though we were told that we weren’t ready to begin for a long period of time other places, Dr. Larkin listened, and understood… He did some digging to see how he could help us and came back with a master plan! A master plan that is absolutely proving itself to be effective which speaks to his high level of expertise and also ability to think outside the box. We are SO grateful that we found Otto Orthodontics- and will never go anywhere else! We highly recommend anyone with children especially to check them out because I guarantee you will see the same value, expertise and professionalism!

Thank you Nichole, Dr Larkin and all the other amazing staff! 😬

Response from the owner:We appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback on your experience. We work very hard every day to exceed our patients’ expectations!

I chose Otto due to their consistent 5 star ratings, and am so thankful I did. All of the staff has been phenomenal. They were clear about the process, answered any questions I had, and Ashley checks on me to see how I am doing through treatment. Absolutely amazing service. I have already recommended them to co-workers, friends, and family.
