Messed up my bite! When I had braces removed and they went to take pictures, they forced my bite in to alignment. They also left some cement on my teeth from the braces and I had to have scraped off. Response to office reply: Dr Bednar was definitely my orthodontist. Unfortunately I was a minor and had a different surname. But I was most definitely his patient. I would not trust Dr Bednar to work on my child.

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!!

We love Dr. Bednar. My daughter had her braces and currently her retainer done by him. Dr. Bednar is always pleasant and fairly inexpensive compared to other orthodontists. Would highly recommend him and his daughter (who works there as well) to anyone.

I went to Dr Bednar for my braces when I was in my mid 30's. He was so wonderful and explained the process from start to finish in a way i could understand. i am still happy with the outcome and i could have never imagined my teeth looking this good. then a couple years later my young son had a cross bite. i brought him to dr bednar and it was still a very wonderful stress free experience. my son needed a pallet splitter , head gear, bumper guard, retainer, full braces, retainer. it took more time for his process because we had to wait for baby teeth to fall out and adult teeth to come in. but it was worth it and his teeth are beautiful. i would always tell anyone who is looking for an orthodontist to go to dr bednar. and the entire staff is wonderful as well.
