We have nothing but great things to say about Dexter Ortho! Dr. Moenssen and Dr. Shoukri are so amazing! Both of my kids have gone through their program and I can honestly say that we have never had a bad experience in all the years. From phone calls, to scheduling, to appointment times, waits, and follow-ups. They are so thorough in making sure we understand the process and take great care of our two girls. We highly recommend!! Thank you for all you do, personally from our family and also within our community!!

My daughter has been going to Dexter Orthodontics for the past three years. Two of the years were for exams to see if she was ready for either Invisalign or braces. Now, she has Invisalign. During the whole process, the staff have been friendly and professional. They describe every step of the process and leave time for questions, and never rush or pressure you into anything. They are gentle and use the newest technology. We are happy with our choice at Dexter Orthodontics.
