I am blessed to work in a profession that over the course of a couple years can change someones image of themselves so dramatically. Seeing their confidence improve and their personality shinethats what it is all about! We are all connected, and I hope that is some way, our patients experience with us can help them on their journey to success.

The best part of my day is hearing about all the fantastic activities and experiences our patients share with us. Being in small communities like Traverse City and Charlevoix, getting to know our patients and families is really getting to know our town. I love feeling connected to them and their journey. Orthodontics allows me to develop relationships while creating smiles, and thats awesome.

I am passionate about getting better, every day. I try to grow a little daily, to do things differently. Through continuing education, I get to grow professionally as well. I am always looking for ways to make our treatment results better in less time for the maximum patient comfort and benefit. That includes making our orthodontic team the best they can be through education and using the latest clinically-proven techniques for success.

I personally attend the Annual Session of the American Association of Orthodontists in the spring as well as regional seminars in the fall and winter. I frequent continuing education seminars at the University of Michigan as well as local dental education through the Resort District Dental Society.

I grew up in Battle Creek, MI, the third of four children, son of a High School Administrator and Christian Youth Minister. I have lived in Traverse City since 2003. I love living in Northern Michigan for the great community spirit, its natural beauty, and endless activities.

When Im not in the office or at home, my favorite thing to do is downhill skiing with my family in winter. I also like to golf and spend time on the lake in the summer. I love football! In the fall, I am very busy as a football coach for my sons team. Coaching is a great way to share life lessons in a fun environment.

I believe it is important to give back to the community that has given us so much. My team and I encourage our youth to be active scholastically and physically to prepare them for healthy, happy lives. We support many local causes through donation of time and sponsorship, including:

We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice. We are pleased to welcome you and your family, and we look forward to working with you.

I oversee clinical operations at Schulz Orthodontics, along with assisting Dr. Schulz with different orthodontic procedures. Getting to know our patients and seeing the transformation of each persons smile is deeply fulfilling. Im lucky to experience it every day!

I joined the practice after completing the Dental Assisting Program at Northwestern Michigan College in 2004. I love being part of a team that feels like family, supporting and lifting each other up as we provide a great experience to our patients!

I have the pleasure of meeting patients at the start of treatment. Overseeing the new patient exam, I educate patients and parents about orthodontics, review treatment options, and answer their questions. I love getting to know new people every day and building a relationship with them throughout their time with us. Seeing those beautiful smiles, and the happy confidence we create, is wonderful!

I work in the Schulz Orthodontics clinic, assisting with orthodontic procedures, taking records, and delivering appliances. I love getting to know all of our amazing patients and watching the creation of beautiful smiles!

I studied Applied Science and Liberal Arts at Delta College and obtained my Registered Dental Assistant license through Northwestern Michigan College in 2008. After a brief time working in general dentistry, I joined our team in 2009 and realized my true love of orthodontics. We are a group of people who are lots of fun, and Dr. Schulz ensures every smile is the best it can be!

I am married to the love of my life, Dr. Schulz, and we have three beautiful children, plus a dog and a cat. I love to exercise, especially HIT workouts, and equally love to walk, boat, and camp in Northern Michigan in the summer. Cooking is another passion: I enjoy learning about and experimenting with different cultural foods.

I meet with patients and families as they start the orthodontic journey, reviewing what treatment involves and what they need to do for a successful outcome. In addition to coordinating patient financials, I also work behind the scenes, handling the accounting, insurance claims, and patient accounts. I like meeting people as they begin treatment and seeing how a new smile gives them more confidence!

I have a business degree, as well as an Associates degree in Applied Science, and have worked with Dr. Schulz since 2000. Most of our team has worked together for a long time and weve become a family. We all support one another as we create great smiles!

Ive lived in Traverse City for almost 25 years and have a daughter, Meghan, along with a fur baby, Panda, who is a Great Pyrenees and Border Collie mix. Before settling down in Traverse City, I spent time living in the Middle East and traveling to the far corners of the world. I am a collector of hobbies: my current interests include remodeling my home and gardening projects.

While it is a pleasure to assist Dr. Schulz with all orthodontic procedures, I especially love that I get to remove our patients braces. Seeing the beautiful results and how proud our patients are as they leave with a beaming smile, is incredibly rewarding!

I graduated with honors from the dental hygiene program at Ferris State University in 1989 and joined Schulz Orthodontics in 2003. I am pleased to work with talented, supportive coworkers who share a common goal: to give our patients the best experience and best smiles!

I love working at our front desk, as I get to talk with everyone who comes to the office. In addition to welcoming and checking in patients, I take phone calls, schedule all patient procedures, and make sure everyone feels at home. It is a joy to get to know our patients and their families personally!

As an orthodontic assistant, I perform clinical procedures, assist Dr. Schulz, and take patient records. I like connecting with our patients, seeing each persons progress during treatment, and sharing in their excited, beautiful smiles in the end!

I assist Dr. Schulz with every aspect of putting braces on and making orthodontic adjustments. I also work in the lab, making retainers and assist with cementing several different appliances. I love working with patients and seeing their smiles improve, and I love helping them understand dental hygiene and dental health, too!

I started in the dental field 25 years ago and joined the Schulz Orthodontics team in 2017. Dr. Schulz is the best orthodontist I have worked for in 25 years and I am in awe of the work our team does. Everyone is well-trained, kind, and helpful, caring about each other, and dedicated to our patients!

My best friend and I have been married for 38 years; they still make me laugh every day. We raised two amazing sons and have four incredible grandkids. We have two dogs, Maggie and Hank, who keep us laughing and bring us joy every day, too. I love to quilt, sew, do beadwork, and any and all crafts. I also love to be outside at the lake for bonfires, camping, and rockhounding.

I assist Dr. Schulz during clinical procedures, take records, and provide patient education and experience. I love being part of the amazing transformational process of orthodontics: building relationships and boosting peoples confidence is what its all about!

My days are spent in the clinic, where I assist Dr. Schulz and my teammates with clinical procedures and take patient records. I enjoy my work, as I get to know a wide variety of people, educate each throughout treatment, and help them reach a perfect smile!

Dr. Scott Schulz and our Traverse City and Charlevoix, MI orthodontic teams appreciate the opportunity to provide you and your family with state-of-the-art orthodontic care. With a customized treatment approach to each individual patient and the use of a variety of techniques, we are able to treat each patiently effectively and efficiently. We seek to exceed our patients aesthetic goals and maximize their oral health.

As a totally digital office, we use low-dose digital X-rays and chairside monitors for patient images and communication. Insignia digital technology allows for precise bracket placement and predictable treatment outcomes.

Our team is dedicated to getting everything rightthe first time! Orthodontics is very technical, but we try to make it look easy. We always look for ways to make the process more comfortable and better for our patients. This means constantly updating our education and training, and implementing new technology into the office

We want to deliver the best care for our patients and we want to make it fun! We have seasonal contests throughout the year with fun prizes and drawings. We reward patients for being great with our Schulz Ortho Rewards program. We reward patients who have good hygiene and follow the orthodontic instructions with Schulz Tokens which can be traded in for gift cards to fun places. You will also see the team dressing up for various occasions throughout the year to keep you smiling!
