Dr. Angela Kling has lived in the St. Louis area since she was a teenager. After graduating from high school and college with a Bachelor of Science degree she taught high school Chemistry. Although she loved teaching, after a few years in the classroom she felt a desire to join her father in his orthodontic practice.
Dr. Kling feels there is great satisfaction in being able to provide this service for adults who have chosen Orthodontic treatment for themselves and for children and teens who are learning to become responsible for their dental health.
Patients throughout St Peters, MO, appreciate receiving comprehensive care when visiting Kling Orthodontics. We understand that orthodontics is an essential service to improving oral health, both now and in the future. Straight teeth are not only beautiful, but are also more functional and less likely to become infected. It is easy for crooked teeth to trap food, bacteria and plaque between them and make it difficult to clean. At our office, we can examine the mouth and recommend the necessary treatment for a healthy and perfect smile.
Our orthodontic services revolve around straightening teeth and aligning the bite. When people have an overbite, underbite or crossbite, it can be difficult to eat and speak clearly. These types of situations can also negatively impact self-confidence and appearance. A jaw that is out of alignment can also start to hurt and cause pain in the face, jaw or neck. When a patient is undergoing an orthodontic treatment, we focus on aligning the bite at the same time. We align the bite by using rubber bands. The rubber bands are strung from a top bracket to a lower one, holding the jaw in the correct position. We can then train the teeth to remain in the right place over time, with a variety of oral appliances from braces to retainers. By treating bite alignment while also straightening teeth, patients receive comprehensive orthodontic care.
Modern orthodontic technology gives patients multiple options for how to straighten their teeth and improve their smile. In the past, people had to wear clunky metal braces. Now, metal brackets and wires are much smaller and take up less space, allowing for more of the natural tooth to show through. Braces are also more effective than in the past, straightening teeth faster than ever before. Additionally, aligners are making it possible to straighten teeth without anyone being able to see that the treatment is taking place. Orthodontic services are more accessible for adults as well. A patient does not need to be a teenager to receive this treatment.
Adults who want or need a straighter set of teeth may dread the idea of having to wear braces again. Afraid of what people will say to a grown man or woman wearing braces, some may avoid the dental treatment they need for straighter and healthier teeth. Fortunately, there is a clear option to help align ones teeth without being obvious about it.
EZ-Align is the affordable aligner solution that can straighten teeth without alerting others to the use. Patients may not need to bother with metal wires, ceramic brackets or other forms of braces and can use a no-hassle solution. With EZ-Align, cleaning is not difficult as patients can remove the aligners and clean separately.
Patients may believe that products like EZ-Align are too good to be true. In reality, EZ-Align is a simple but effective process. While metal braces are still effective, adults will greatly benefit from EZ-Align. At Kling Orthodontics, we understand that patients may have a few questions about EZ-Align.
What is EZ-Align?EZ-Align is the clear aligner that can straighten teeth through a tray-style system over time. Customized for each individual, EZ-Align will include a series of aligners that the patient alternates through every two weeks or so. The gradual process will straighten the teeth without pain. Once the time to change to a new set arrives, the patient will switch to another pair of aligners that matches the current state of his or her teeth.
The process to straighten ones teeth with EZ-Align may only take a few months, depending on the condition of the patients teeth. While other methods are effective, EZ-Align has the fusion of both a desirable appearance and an effective treatment method. The system will gradually straighten teeth as the patient goes about everyday business.
What is the process like?The patient will want to visit an orthodontist and see if EZ-Align is the right choice for his or her situation. Depending on the situation, another treatment option may be a better recommendation for the patient. By visiting Kling Orthodontics, Dr. Angela Kling can help discern if EZ-Align is right for you.
Fortunately, the patient will not experience an incredible amount of pain with each new aligner. The only problem can arise if the patient switches aligners too early or does not take care of the aligners. At our office, Dr. Angela Kling will go through all the necessary steps for taking proper care of the teeth and the EZ-Align aligners.
Will EZ-Align drastically alter my life?Patients choose EZ-Align for several key reasons. The first key reason is that EZ-Align is clear and not very noticeable. People do not need to feel embarrassment when visiting friends, speaking at an important meeting or other social situations. With EZ-Align, patients can avoid the long procedure to install metal braces and the trouble of cleaning teeth that comes with them.
With EZ-Align, patients will have no issues removing the aligner to clean their teeth any time of the day. The patient will wear EZ-Align for around 20 hours per day, but can easily remove the aligner as necessary. This effective solution will help patients receive the smile that they deserve, boost confidence and produce a straighter set of teeth.
Regardless of if you had braces as a child or not, teeth can move back out of alignment over time. Crooked teeth are not only less appealing to the eye but can also lead to tooth infection over time. When gaps appear between teeth, food and plaque can become caught in there. If the plaque or food particles are left there for too long, they can lead to infection.
Straight teeth will help to avoid this scenario. An adult who is in need of straighter teeth can seek EZ-Align at our office as an easy, efficient and strong alternative to braces. With EZ-Align, a patient can continue through life as normal while straightening his or her teeth over time.

Messed up my teeth. Multiple visits kept telling them that my teeth were moving retainer wasn't fitting properly. Their "dentist" kept telling me it fit fine there was no issue. My teeth were still loose and moving and they removed my braces. In less then a year when they said initially 2 plus years. (Probably because they didn't want to deal with us anymore) and my bottom teeth are jacked up. Retainer no longer fits they are so bad. I wouldn't take a dog here. They don't return calls. Offer no solution to repairing what they did and my teeth look worse now on the bottom than they did when I got braces. The top look fine although not perfect. They were minimally misaligned in the first place. They had chances to fix it and did not. Edited to add that the staff is rude communication is lacking and when my parents would ask questions on where the treatment was or what was going on was pretty much ignored or told that they would call back and never did. No communication with the parents at all. Office staff has no business being office staff whatsoever. They owe my insurance money!

Visiting from out of town and my daughter's permanent retainer broke - called them to try to get it fixed or removed since she's an athlete competing this weekend and don't want it injuring her - when Pam realized she wasn't already a patient, she said "sorry - we're not going to help you with that" - not - sorry we can't fit her in or anything like that - we're just not going to help you because she's not our patient. WOW! Would never work with someone like that!

Appointment was scheduled to see Dr. Kling, and upon arrival we were informed that Dr. Angela Kling has been deceased for almost 3 years. I walked out without even completing the new patient information due to the utter lack of communication from the office staff. The lack of transparency about the current state of the practice when scheduling is appalling. When I asked why we were not informed about this when scheduling the appointment, I was told "I don't know." I will be scheduling with a different practice, and not seeking service with this practice again.

I don't leave reviews normally but I was caught off guard with the receptionist at this location. I called about 3 times to confirm the time of my appointment. The first time she asked if I could wait on hold.. ended waiting 16 minutes (no check in at all). The second time I called she asked me again if I could wait on hold then the phone hung up right away. The final time the phone was hung up again. Please don't treat customers/potential customers like this. I don't usually have a problem with Kling orthodontics but this left a bad taste in my mouth. That was not customer service & she may need to get some classes in.

After paying so much money for a root canal and a crown. This orthodontist made the crown come off, by placing a band around the crown numerous of times because the first band came off of the crown. They should have never cemented a band to my crown in the first place. Then told me their not responsible for the damage. They are rude to their clients. Find another orthodontist!!

I visited the Florissant office!! Horrible!! Before I arrived, Mary Joan hung up on me because she became frustrated. She also gives inadequate information regarding treatment. She gave me one price for X-Rays, but when I arrived at office, the amount was different. How? Cherry denied me treatment for asking information regarding paperwork they needed me to sign. She told me no one has ever questioned her, so she didn't understand why I was. I didn't know it would be a problem to get clarification on something I'm providing my signature. When I went to front desk, Nathan basically mocked me for being upset that I was denied treatment. I should have listened to the horrible reviews I read, while sitting in the waiting room. Don't waste your time, like I wasted mine. I have an appt with McDermott, and they have wonderful reviews and referrals, and are much affordable. STAY AWAY FROM KLING!

9/14/18. Had a 1:00 appt. They doesn't even deserve 1star more like a 0. I should hv took heed to the prior review. Nathan has horrible customer service skills. I over heard two female workers conversing about 2 patients 1 being my child. There was a mix up about who was there but one worker had to tell the other that my child was there and the other patient wasnt. She asked why another wasn't doing something and she said idk I guess she didn't want to. He was talking rude to other patients parents about their availability because a parent wanted to call back n schedule an appointment n to make arrangements. So as we were leaving scheduling the next appt w the nice lady sitting at the computer I asked about a repair. Out of no where this rude Nathan shouts out things that was irrelevant n I am aware of still not answering the question. (Not need to to intervene if you are gonna help right!) He was very loud and nasty w feminine body language n gestures. So I then asked for his name and position he states it n adds he was the owner. I told him how I felt about him. After asking him the question again, asking what does the procedure consist of, and he told me. MY reply was and the staff couldnt do that really because I called 8/10/18. Then I asked what damage will it do being that its not fixed today and why wasnt it done? he says IDK I GUESS THEY DIDNT WANT TO JUST BE ON TIME FOR THE NEXT APPT. Walks off sassy. I stated there was no need to schedule another appt I will NOT BE RETURNING. Called back to speak with the doctor because after all her name is on the practice. Nathan answers of course and immediately asked whose calling I told him and he begans the rudeness again so hopefully Dr Kling actually gets the message and calls back so that shes aware of the ppl that stands behind her name. This is not a good look for someone whom serve people from the city. Dr. Kling hopes you see this.

I would give them a zero. The office is the worst office ever. They are so mean. All they worry about is mony. my son seen Dr. kling and i asked for the evaluation after the visit they said they will send it to my dentist. My dentist's office called them asking for the evaluation and they refused to send it. I called them to ask them why they refused to send it they ask me to come back to their office to do another x-ray and pay them another $60 and then they will send the evaluation otherwise they wont send it. I told them if you do that becuse you want make mony they said YES.
