I was born in Staples Minnesota, but was raised and graduated high school in Minot. It is a wonderful experience being able to serve the communities I know so well, and give back to those who have given me so much over the years. The people in this area are the best, and it is a pleasure to watch them get excited as their appearance and confidence change during treatment. While in active orthodontic treatment, my team and I will take the time needed to make sure each and every one of your treatment needs are addressed.
I firmly believe in helping out in our community. I am active in a local church assisting with various youth activities. I also participate by sponsoring many local sports and fund raising events that work to improve our arena.
I grew up and graduated from high school in Minot, and currently live in Minot. My wife, Amber, and I were married in 1999. We have three daughters, Halle, Maya, and Emme. I love to spend time with my family most of all, but when I have free time I also enjoy jet skiing, boating, playing golf, and watching/attending local and national sporting events.

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.
