Nikki Sunstrum

Aside from their spectacular orthodontics services, one of my favorite things about Dexter Ortho is actually their community service and engagement. Dr. Moenssen is an absolute delight, bringing joy to the town with her billboards of Dexter youth and the most wonderful Santa to town each Christmas. 10/10 recommend.
