'Orthodontics allows me to develop wonderful relationships with my patients and their families. It has always been my philosophy to treat others as I would want to be treated. I work hard to describe each procedure in detail to all of my patients, whether adult or child. I believe that knowledge leads to improved patient comfort, efficient treatment, and eventually the healthiest, most beautiful smile possible.' Dr. Darren Forcier

Working with his orthodontic patients brings Dr. Forcier great personal satisfaction. He not only sees their smiles improve, but their lives transform as their self-confidence increases. Day in and day out, he knows that his profession really allows him to help people. At the same time, he gets to know his patients and develop real relationships with them, learn about their lives, and cheer them on throughout their treatment.

After majoring in biology and completing a Bachelor of Science degree at Canisius College, Dr. Forcier attended dental school at the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine, graduating in 2001.

Having received an ROTC scholarship, as well as an Army Health Professions scholarship during school, he entered the United States Army to begin his career as a dentist. Dr. Forcier completed a one-year program in Advanced Education in General Dentistry at Fort Campbell, KY, where he was exposed to a wide range of dental specialties. It was there that he knew that orthodontics was his passion.

Dr. Forciers next assignment afforded him the opportunity to serve overseas in Germany. He served as a dentist in a dental unit that provided direct care to our combat troops.

Dr. Forcier was then selected to begin specialty training in orthodontics at the Tri-Service Orthodontic Residency Program at Wilford Hall Medical Center at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, TX. It was there that he learned about the art and science of orthodontics and the importance of working in coordination with dentists and other specialists in achieving optimum oral health for his patients.

Following his specialty training, Dr. Forcier and his family moved back to Fort Campbell, KY, where he served as Chief of Orthodontics at a post that served 38,000 soldiers, including the Armys elite 101st Airborne (Air Assault), 5th Special Forces, and 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. He was also on the teaching staff of the very AEGD Residency that he had completed six years prior. Dr. Forcier is very proud of the nine years he served in the Army and considers it not only an honor to have served his country, but especially to have had the opportunity to serve and provide care to the real heroes: the men and women who serve our country in the military.

Although his formal education is complete, Dr. Forcier is always reading orthodontic literature, staying current with professional journals, and attending conferences and seminars. He knows the importance of staying informed concerning developing technologies and techniques. Once they have been proven to be effective methods for treatment, he enthusiastically brings them into the practice. Staying at the forefront of his field means Dr. Forcier is able to provide his patients with modern, efficient care that decreases the treatment duration.

At Forcier Orthodontics, we put our patients oral health needs and goals front and center of everything we do. Dr. Forcierand our orthodontic team believe that establishing a strong connection through open and free communication between doctor and patient leads to a more positive experience for all of us. We really enjoy getting to know each of our patients, learning about them, laughing with them, and catching-up during each of their visits.

As a family-oriented orthodontic practice, we believe in involving the patient and their family in the treatment planning stages. Based on the results of your exam, and a discussion about what you want from orthodontic treatment, we will create a plan tailored specifically to your unique needs. As part of this process, we will review with you the many options for achieving your goals. Each option will be discussed in understandable terms so you know what each entails. This will allow you to make an educated decision about what options will work best for you and your lifestyle.

Since we cannot remedy situations that we do not know about, we always want to hear from you should you have any concerns about your treatment, the progress being made, or anything else. We want to make things right for you. Our patients are always welcome to talk with us about how things are proceeding. We listen and respond right away because we care about them and the quality of care they receive.
