Since 1997, Dr. Tracy R. Patterson has been providing exceptional orthodontic treatment to patients of all ages! She is an accredited orthodontist, meaning she is a dentist who has completed an advanced post-doctoral course, accredited by the American Dental Association, of at least two academic years in the specialty of orthodontics. She attended the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine to obtain her Doctor of Dental Medicine and Temple University where she earned her orthodontic specialty certificate and a Masters of Science in Dentistry.

After dental school, Dr. Patterson completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency at the University of Connecticut Health Center. She was also a Fellow and Chief Resident at the University of Connecticut Health Center. She then completed a Roth-Williams Philosophy two-year continuing education program.

Dr. Patterson feels it is important to stay on the cutting-edge of dentistry in order to offer the most advanced treatments. Thus, she maintains memberships in many prestigious professional organizations, such as the American Dental Association, Massachusetts Dental Association, American Association of Orthodontists, Roth-Williams International Society of Orthodontists, Northeast Society of Orthodontists, and the Spear Dental Study Club.

We know that our office is only as effective and welcoming as the people who work in it, which is why we take pride in our friendly, well-trained staff members. As a team, we are especially interested in making all our patients feel right at home. We put your needs first to achieve efficient, comprehensive treatment in a supportive, nurturing environment. We promise to speak candidly with you about possible treatments as well as any risks and associated costs of treatment, and how treatment can address your individual needs as a patient.

Our staff is highly skilled, uniquely trained and aims to provide energetic and fun-loving service to each patient! Our staff members have specialized training, multiple certifications and years of experience treating patients with the highest level of care. We stay current with the latest in techniques and technology by regularly attending continuing education courses and seminars.

Dr. Patterson is a talented orthodontist, with over 20 years of experience creating beautiful smiles. An esteemed member of the orthodontic community, she has completed a rigorous additional two-year advanced continuing education in the Roth-Williams treatment philosophy. This training is above and beyond normal orthodontic training.

Dr. Patterson takes the time to get to know each patient and excels at making both adult patients and children feel special and well cared for. Her friendly, energetic personality sets the stage for a positive patient experience. The individualized, caring attention Dr. Patterson shows each patient is the hallmark of her practice. Her humor and easy demeanor engages patients and parents.

Unlike some orthodontic practices, which have offices in several cities, counties or states, we have one central location where we see our patients. This prime location has private parking and gives you easy access to your orthodontic professionals whenever you need it.

We constantly strive for the best results, which means we are dedicated to researching and utilizing the latest technologies. Our digital technology, such as our 3-D X-rays and digital scanner, provide multiple benefits for our patients, including faster, more accurate diagnoses and faster, more comfortable treatment.
