Drangsholt Orthodontics made my teen’s Braces journey something to look forward to. Dr. Drangsholt has a way with kids—she explained the process clearly, let my daughter pick fun colored ligatures each month, and even laughed at her silly jokes during adjustments. The office uses cool tech, like a 3D app that showed exactly how her smile would change, which eased her nerves. The staff is upbeat and remembers details, like her love for soccer, making visits feel personal.

They offer flexible scheduling (including evenings) and worked with our insurance to keep costs manageable. When she got her braces off, they threw a little celebration with a “before and after” photo album. Orthodontics can be tough for teens, but this team makes it joyful.

My grandkids are patients here. Coming with them to appointments I saw how friendly and welcoming they all are. I am 60 and decided you are never to old to have a nice smile so I got invisaline and I am so happy with the friendly staff and Orthodontist. If your thinking of improving your smile this is the place!
