We selected Dexter Orthodontics after visiting 4 other orthodontists in the area. I didn’t feel like my of them were the right fit...until we met Dr. Moenssen. She was fantastic and her treatment approach was what I was looking for. She had held true to that plan and we are so very happy we decided to go here. We are in Phase 2 now with our son and can’t say enough good things about the Dr. and her staff. All are warm and welcoming. I’ve referred friends who are also super happy with her office.
