When you ask how much procedures will cost, they give you numbers, not dollar amounts. Need less to say, this has to be the costliest 30 minute appointment I have seen. Will not recommend to anyone, and will be sharing my experience.

I'm 29 and felt weird pursuing orthodontia at my age since my parents couldn't afford it growing up. On my first consultation appointment almost a year and a half ago (pre covid) I knew right away I was going to trust Dr Meister and her team, everyone was, and continues to be so kind and helpful every appointment I have. I frequently tell people I genuinely look forward to these appointments and will miss them when I am finally done. I have no hesitations Dr Meister is the best in the business, she takes my smile (and everyone's I can Safely assume) with great care and consideration and is in general just an awesome person. I'm kind of rambling now but my advice is if you are price shopping or getting multiple consultations... just stop and go with the best, you won't regret it, it's your/you're child's smile.

Both of my kids had their braces done at Meister Orthodontics. It's the best neighborhood orthodontic place with a friendly environment and great staff. Very pleased with their service.

Dr. Meister has kept a high standard of conducting her business since I had braces 15 years ago. The person who checked me in and the technician were both very friendly and professional as was the doctor. I'm glad to know such a great orthodontics place is still right here in St. Paul. Also, their COVID-19 precautions were as good as I could imagine.

Dr. Meister and her staff are great. My daughter has braces and her orthodontist journey has been great watching her teeth straighten. Dr. Meister provided a clear timeline and plan for her braces and also started my daughter's braces journey with an amazing dental care kit. My son is next in line for braces and I will definitely bring him to Dr. Meister.
