I couldn't be happier with my experience at Bednar Orthodontics! Dr. Katy Bednar went above and beyond for me with some revisions that I wanted done to my top, front teeth. She really listened to what I disliked about my teeth and was so kind and patient with me. I love how my teeth look now-- highly, highly recommend!!
