I enjoy getting to know each patient I meet and building relationships with them that last long after their treatment is complete. Seeing each patient grow and change, and watching their joy in showing off their smiles is something that never gets old. Each patient is an individual with unique treatment needs that require an individualized approach. This creates a great challenge and a truly great reward a beautiful, confident smile.
I began my formal education at the University of Puget Sound where I graduated with honors in Biology. While attending Tufts University School of Dental Medicine for my Doctorate of Dental Medicine, I earned merit scholarships, was inducted into the dental national honor society (Omicron Kappa Upsilon), and was on the Deans List for High Performance on National Dental Boards. I also graduated Summa Cum Laude and earned the Everett Shapiro Endowed Prize Fund in Orthodontics which is given to a graduating senior dental student who demonstrated excellent aptitude in orthodontic skills. My orthodontic residency and Certificate in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics was also completed at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, during which I was trained in the latest imaging and clinical techniques, including 3D imaging and temporary anchorage devices. Since graduating, I have continued my education through national and local meetings and seminars in order to stay current with the latest technology and techniques regarding orthodontic treatment.
In addition to my academic pursuits while in dental school, I also had the opportunity to volunteer with Smile, Share, and Care which provided pediatric dental education and outreach to children of all ages. Since completing my orthodontic residency program I have had the opportunity to work for a non-profit organization which provides dental and orthodontic care to the underserved population in Maine. I enjoyed this experience very much, but had an equal desire to return to where I grew up. I am excited for the opportunity to give back to the community which gave so much to me growing up.
I have also spent time volunteering at animal shelters and therapeutic equine riding programs which gave mentally and physically challenged adults and children the opportunity to work on their occupational and physical therapy needs while riding horses and interacting with other animals.
Born in Iowa City, I moved to Billings as a toddler and spent my entire young life here. With my return back to Montana I am excited to be able to enjoy the great opportunities this wonderful area has to offer. Outside of dentistry I enjoy the outdoors, fishing, hiking, skiing, and most of all horses and other animals.
If someone has a problem or issue they dont think they can overcome, I will help them get through it. I am a compassionate, giving person who will ensure you leave our office satisfied and with a smile.
I am happily married with two daughters and three dogs, who all keep me busy at home. In my spare time I love to be with family and friends, watch sports, or go on an adventure. Ive gone whitewater rafting and sky jumped off the Stratosphere in Vegas!
Don't worry! Braces aren't nearly as scary as you may think. In fact, braces today come in a variety of styles, materials, and colors, making life with braces much easier, more comfortable, and even more stylish than in the past.
Orthodontic braces are a big part of life for many people your age. While braces may have had a bad reputation in the past, today's braces make it easy to look good and feel good! Please contact our practice to schedule your next orthodontic checkup.
Orthodontic treatment is no longer just for teens. In fact, the American Association of Orthodontists states that one in five orthodontic patients is over the age of 21. Many adults are choosing to receive treatment because they understand the importance of maintaining their health, and they want to feel better about their appearance. Adults everywhere are taking advantage of the opportunity to receive orthodontic care, and now you can too.
For many adults, the thought of having metal braces is enough to discourage them from receiving treatment. However, today's orthodontic treatment options offer a variety of braces and appliances that are comfortable, aesthetic, and customized to meet your needs. Types of braces include:
The main difference to remember when treating adults or children and teens, is that in younger patients the jawbones are still developing. For adults, these bones have stopped growing, which may mean the possibility of orthognathic surgery to align the jawbones. Other differences include:
Our practice also recognizes that adults and children have different needs, and require a different level of attention and care. We will work with you to ensure that you receive the most appropriate treatments, and that your needs are met with understanding and respect from us.

I really like all the staff, they make you feel comfortable every step of the way, from the initial consult throughout the treatment. My daughter loves the receptionist and Dr. Roberts. They have always answered any questions she or I have about treatment. My younger kids enjoy going and being seen too, for preventative care, so hopefully we wont need braces. They also are really good about scheduling and emergency visits (incase a bracket falls off lol). I would recommend Roberts Orthodontics to any one, young or older, to see her.
