Both doctors bring extensive experience and a commitment to utilizing cutting-edge technology and time-proven methods to achieve optimal results for their patients. Dr. Steve Henseler, a University of Minnesota School of Dentistry graduate, has been practicing orthodontics since 1995. He is actively involved in various professional organizations and community initiatives, including being an Invisalign Provider, Smiles Change Lives Provider, and a participant in Give Kids a Smile. Dr. Henseler has also been recognized as MPLS/St. Paul Magazine's Top Orthodontist for several consecutive years. Dr. Paul Kocian, who earned his Certificate of Specialty in Orthodontics and a Master's degree from the University of Pennsylvania, joined the practice in 2015. His background includes serving in the U.S. Navy and teaching orthodontic techniques, reflecting his dedication to the field. Henseler & Kocian Orthodontics offers a comprehensive range of orthodontic treatments for patients of all ages – children, teenagers, and adults. Their services are designed to address various orthodontic needs, from simple teeth straightening to more complex bite corrections. Key treatment options include: Traditional Metal Braces: Made from high-grade stainless steel, these are a classic and highly effective option for various cases. Clear Braces (Ceramic Braces): These provide a more discreet alternative to metal braces, using clear ceramic brackets that blend with the teeth. Clear Aligners: Including popular options like Invisalign and 3M Clarity aligners, these are removable, nearly invisible trays that gradually shift teeth into alignment, ideal for those seeking a less noticeable treatment. Palatal Expanders: Used to correct narrow upper jaws, alleviating crowding and aiding in the proper eruption of permanent teeth. Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs): Used to achieve specific tooth movements and can sometimes eliminate the need for surgical procedures. Corrective Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery): For severe jaw discrepancies where orthodontic treatment alone may not suffice. The clinic prides itself on providing personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's individual needs, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals. They emphasize a fun, friendly, and welcoming environment, ensuring patient comfort throughout the treatment journey. They also offer a free consultation to help prospective patients understand their options and embark on their path to a healthier, more confident smile. Patient testimonials often highlight the friendly and knowledgeable staff, efficient appointments, and the doctors' expertise and compassionate care.
