Orthodontics is a fun, challenging, and rewarding profession. It is important to me to build a relationship with patients and their families during treatment and beyond. I believe that a beautiful, healthy smile can make an incredibly positive change in a persons life and I am grateful to have the opportunity to be a part of that process! Dr. Schieck
Dr. Jacquelyn Schieck loves the profession of orthodontics, and feels so fortunate to be able to create beautiful smiles every day. She was inspired to become an orthodontist by her own orthodontic treatment as a teenager; she wanted to give others the self-esteem and confidence that she gained from her new smile! Dr. Schieck enjoys meeting new people, building relationships with patients and their families, and understanding the individual needs of each person. She is inspired by the artistic side of orthodontics, which combines with science and service to others to make a profound difference in a persons life.
Dr. Schieck takes pride in obtaining more than the required amount of continuing education credits each year. She regularly attends supplemental classes and conferences, and belongs to peer study groups. She believes it is vital to stay current and receive practical information to make treatments as effective and efficient as possible. Dr. Schieck finds it of the utmost importance to treat her patients with evidence-based knowledge while providing the highest quality of orthodontic care.
A native of Sioux Falls, SD, Dr. Schieck currently resides in Northfield, where she is eager to discover new ways to be involved and give back to the community. She and her husband Tanner have two boys, Samson and Roman, and two yellow labs, Maizie and Griz. When shes not in the office, Dr. Schieck loves to spend her free time with family, living vicariously through Pinterest and home decor blogs, and enjoying outdoor activities. She also enjoys reading, sewing, church involvement, and singing.

When your treatment is complete, you will have the smile you've always dreamed of and the confidence to show it off! We also want you to feel comfortable and confident throughout your entire orthodontic experience, and our practice is dedicated to making sure that you receive the quality care you deserve.
Orthodontic appliances are made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to the proper position.
Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. You can now choose clear or metal brackets and, in some cases, the color of your appliance. Wires are far less noticeable, and the latest materials are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort. Today, any age is a great age to wear braces!
Treatment time varies and can last between one and three years, depending on several factors including age, treatment method, and how minor or severe your case is. A big factor in a successful treatment is you! The more involved and diligent you are, the more efficient your treatment will be. For children, receiving interceptive or early treatment can also help provide a quicker treatment time.
