I feel so grateful to be able to practice orthodontics. When I was younger, I never imagined that I would follow in my father's footsteps, but when I realized my love for science and for working with my hands, it became an obvious career choice for me. It's amazing to see a smile transform and patients become excited about how they look and how they function.
As a mother of two children, I treat every single one of my patients as if they were my own. The fun part of orthodontics is meeting all different kinds of children and watching them grow! We also treat many adult patients, which is also very gratifying. Most of these patients have been considering straightening their teeth for many years. By the time they visit us in the orthodontic office, their excitement and commitment is unmatched. These patients are serious about their treatment, and we love their passion for a beautiful smile!
I attended the University of Michigan, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History, before continuing on to Harvard School of Dental Medicine where I earned my Doctorate of Dental Medicine and was elected into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon fraternity (an honor for the top ten percentof the graduating class). I returned to the University of Michigan to earn my Master of Science degree in Orthodontics.
I continue my education every year to keep up on the most recently developed treatments and technology. I am also an active member of the American Association of Orthodontists, the Michigan Association of Orthodontists, the Michigan Dental Association, Great Lakes Orthodontic Study Club, and Alpha Omega dental fraternity.
My father and I love working together, and we think our office is pretty special. Our team is a wonderful mix of women who are capable, experienced, youthful, and innovative. Many have been with us for many years and we truly feel like family. We all feel strongly that the patient's well-being comes first and foremost!
I am originally from West Bloomfield, Michigan, and currently live in Huntington Woods with my husbandAdamand our childrenWhitney and Noah. I love being active, especially outdoors, whether I am walking, playing tennis, or riding bikes with the family. A few courses at the art school in college developed my love for working with different metals and making jewelry. Its a great way to express my creative side!
I love the practice of orthodontics. Whether our patients are children or adults, I enjoy getting to know them and helping them achieve a great smile. Each day provides new and interesting challenges that I look forward to solving. Since no two patients are alike, no two orthodontic challenges are alike, and thats what makes it fun!
I earned my Bachelor of Science degree from Wayne State University and received my Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry. I practiced general dentistry for two years in the United States Air Force and then continued my education at the University of Michigan, where I received my Master of Science degree in Orthodontics. Later, I became a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics and a Fellow of the American College of Dentists.
I have always enjoyed teaching and for many years I taught orthodontics and orthognathic surgery at the University of Detroit Mercy. Today, I am an Adjunct Associate Professor of Orthodontics at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry and teach craniofacial orthodontics in the orthodontic department.I am also on the Ian Jackson Craniofacial and Cleft Palate Clinic team at Beaumont Hospital in Southfield, Michigan.
I am fortunate to have such talented orthodontic assistants, technicians, and receptionists on my team. Many on the staff have proved their worth over many years of wonderful service. I also feel absolutely fortunate to be able to practice with Dr. Rebecca Rubin, my daughter. What more could a father want?
In addition to practicing orthodontics,I am active at the Detroit Institute of Arts, where I served as president of the Associates of the American Wing from 2013-15.I am also a woodworker and make American and English period furniture.I have written articles, lectured, and exhibited my furniture at a number of museums. A recent highlight was lecturing at Ham House, A National Trust House Museum at Ham, Richmond-on-Thames, England.In 2010, I received the Cartouche Award from the Society of American Period Furniture Makers for lifetime achievement.Visitsapfm.organd click the gallery, and then find my name to see some of my furniture!

Staff is always very professional and courteous. Offices and waiting areas are clean and well maintained. Over the course of the past 19 months of orthodontic care, Dr. Lash or Dr. Rubin have provided outstanding and attentive care every visit. Each major step of the way was well communicated and thoroughly explained. I would highly recommend Lash Rubin Orthodontics and will be back for my other child.

Everyone from the front office, to the diagnostic team & all the technicians including Dr. Lash himself are extremely kind, knowledge & professional. When I decided to get braces as an adult; one long-awaited item on the to-do list, I wasn't sure what to expect but the team at Dr. Lash's office have put me at ease every step of the way. First month into the Orthodontist journey and very pleased. Grateful for everyone on the team

Love everything about Lash Rubin Orthodontics! The doctors are awesome and care more about your teeth than you do! The staff is very welcoming and helpful. I am currently in Invisalign treatment and loving every step of it! I see results WEEKLY! My appointments are so quick I forget I even went! The treatment is quick, especially with Invisalign, and so reasonably priced! Highly recommend this office!

We love Lash Rubin Orthodontics. The doctors are awesome and the staff is so helpful. They are always on time and very flexible; considering I was late for every appointment, they were very accommodating for my twin's very busy schedules. We highly recommend Dr. Rebecca Rubin. She is a great doctor who we trust very much and our twins teeth look amazing! Braces are off for both and we are very happy!

Dr.Rubin and Dr.Lash are beyond the best orthodontists in the metro Detroit area. They are so professional, warm, and helpful. We have four children that have received the highest quality orthodontics treatment. We get to enjoy the results everyday as we watch our kids show off their beautiful smiles. Thank you Lash Rubin Orthodontics for making our experience so pleasant!

Oh my GOODNESS! I know patients/customers review their doctors and dentists, but Dr. Rubin absolutely positively deserves as many stars as possible! My daughter, now 10, has been seeing Dr. Rubin for about 2 years - simply watching the natural development of her adult teeth. Dr. Rubin decided on an expander last year and we just put her braces on last week. Dr. Rubin has been the essential part of making my daughter feel empowered and respected in this entire process. In fact, my daughter uses her own allowance to buy Dr. Rubin gifts - as well as tells everyone that she will become an orthodontist like Dr. Rubin! Dr. Rubin's front office is WONDERFUL, HELPFUL and VERY FRIENDLY! The business is very well run and I've only had positive experiences there. I will wholeheartedly recommend Lash and Rubin to anyone looking for an orthodontist - and I have and continue to do so!!

I can't say enough good things about Drs. Lash and Rubin. Suffering from an injury causing my jaw to be dislocated I was in a terrible mess. Dr. Lash made me completely comfortable from the moment I met him. He knew exactly how to treat my complicated case which put my mind at ease. His entire office staff are warm and friendly and most importantly , caring and compassionate. The office is immaculate with state of the art equipment. I am so grateful to have found and been treated by Dr. Lash. His knowledge and years of experience have restored not only my function but my happiness and quality of life. Thank you! Thank you!

Recently I required some corrective Orthodonic work. Previously I had sent all three of my boys to Drs. Lash and Rubin for their orthodontic needs. Given the quality, technique, professionalism and the indefinite follow up care provided my sons received from the entire staff the only decision I had to make was traditional braces or Invisalign.
