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

Today my son received his top set of braces and our experience from the consultation to today with Otto Orthodontics has been amazing. All of the ladies made my son comfortable and they were so informative and we left today knowing exactly how to take care of his new braces. Even though we’ve only been going for a short time, I highly recommend them. They are just lovely ๐Ÿฅฐ

I had an excellent experience at Otto Orthodontics. As an adult starting orthodontic treatment, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the entire team made the process smooth and comfortable.
