I love orthodontics! I believe it's one of the best professions in the world, and I feel blessed to know that each day I am able to make a positive difference in someone's life. Every patient is unique and special to me; I enjoy getting to know them and their families, and building lifelong friendships that last even after treatment is complete. I've always felt the need to help others and to make people feel good about themselves. I have had braces and used Invisalign to improve my own smile, so I feel that I can relate better to what my patients experience during their orthodontic treatments. Every smile I treat is important to me, and I am glad that I can help give my patients a beautiful smile that they will have for the rest of their lives.
After finishing high school, I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from the University of Alabama and continued on at the University of Alabama School of Dentistry where I earned my Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree. I completed my Graduate Orthodontics Residency Program at the University of Louisville School of Dentistry.
I believe that continuing education plays a major role in being a successful orthodontist. With technology always changing and improving, I feel it is crucial to stay current with the latest advances in orthodontics so that I can offer my patients the most effective and efficient treatments possible. I regularly attend various lectures, continuing education courses, and seminars hosted by local, regional, and national professional orthodontic organizations. I am also involved in the Smiles Change Lives program, in addition to volunteering with local schools and community organizations.
I am originally from Dothan, Alabama, and I now live in Madison. My wonderful husband, Matt Stephenson, is a dentist and has a practice located in Huntsville. We have three young children, who keep us very busy! I come from a very tight-knit family, and all of my family members are an important part of my life. When I'm not at the office, I spend almost all of my time with my sweet children and husband. I also enjoy running, cooking, going to the beach, watching sports (especially college football), and hanging out with family and friends!
I am glad that you have chosen Madison Orthodontics for your orthodontic care, and I truly look forward to getting to know you! We have a lot of fun here, and I know you're going to enjoy yourself. Having braces should be a positive experience, and my team and I work hard to make sure that you and your family enjoy your time spent with us. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have at any time during your treatment.

I'm so thankful I found Dr. Bowdoin. My permanent retainer needed to be repaired, and I was quite worried about my teeth moving. They were able to get me in on the same day I called. Being that I'm a college student, it was a blessing that the appointment cost was affordable. Dr. Bowdoin and the staff were incredibly kind, they were thorough in their explanations about how they were fixing my retainer, and they did a great job! I would highly recommend them to anyone. They're good people that genuinely care about their patients.

My 9yr old was referred here in the summer. Dr Bowdoin really gave us all information and available options. At no point did we feel that she was pressuring us or guiding us towards a specific option. We chose to go with an ease-in process, giving our kiddo a couple of months to get used to the top braces before adding the bottom. We have had to go in for 1 popped wire, and it was repaired quickly same-day. I am very impressed with Dr Bowdoin and her staff and highly recommend her team.

Ive had two children go through braces here with great results. They are very flexible and willing to work with your schedule. My third child will be getting his soon! Wouldn't go anywhere else.

Dr. Bowdain is the best. She is passionate about her practice and it shows. She really cares about her patients needs and has always accommodated mine. I went to see another orthodontist and the quote they gave me was so unreasonable that I waited a year to have it done. so glad I got a second opinion she was so much more reasonable and honest about what I needed. Her staff are awesome especially Valerie. it is always a pleasant experience that I look forward to.
