Meet Dr. Todd Anderson
My interest in orthodontics began while I was practicing dentistry as a Dental Officer in the United States Navy. Here I worked alongside two fellow naval dental officers who were orthodontists and was able to experience firsthand the complexity and finesse that orthodontics demands. Seeing how the transformation of a patient’s smile can have a direct correlation to an increase in a patient’s self-confidence and overall dental health showed me what an enormous impact we have on the lives of our patients.
Witnessing the impact that orthodontic treatment has on each patient and watching them transform through their smile journey is amazing to witness. As an orthodontist I watch many of my patients grow up from childhood to early adulthood and it is truly an honor to be a part of their lives. Practicing orthodontics is both a privilege and a great responsibility. I cannot think of another profession that I would rather be a member of.
