BOARD-CERTIFIED ORTHODONTIST

Dr. Lauren Van Gemert

Being an orthodontist provides me an avenue to make a difference in the lives of the people in my community. Whether it is by providing them with a beautiful, healthy smile at the end of treatment or by simply asking how their day is going at each appointment and creating a relationship with them outside of their orthodontic treatment, I get the honor of providing people of all ages a reason to be self-confident and feel special. Orthodontics is an experience that our patients will remember for the rest of their lives and I feel fortunate to be a part of each of their journeys.

I am passionate about providing orthodontic results that are more than just straight teeth. It is important to me that each patient is treated individually, not as a number, so that we take into account the overall health of a patient, as well as the form and function of the entire facial complex, including the TMJ. A pretty smile is great, but I want my patients to have a beautiful AND well-functioning result that will last them a lifetime.
