The clinic is headed by Dr. David Detterline, a highly skilled orthodontist who earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery and Master of Science in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics from Indiana University School of Dentistry.

Detterline Orthodontics aims to provide the highest quality orthodontic care in a fun and welcoming environment. They emphasize creating ideal facial harmony and healthy, happy smiles for patients of all ages, from children to adults. The practice offers a comprehensive array of modern treatment options to address various orthodontic needs, including: Traditional Metal Braces: A reliable and effective solution for correcting a wide range of bite and alignment issues. Invisalign® Clear Aligners: A discreet alternative to traditional braces, utilizing custom-made, clear trays to gradually shift teeth. Clarity™ Ceramic Brackets: Tooth-colored braces that blend in with the natural teeth for a less noticeable appearance. Two-Phase Treatment: For younger patients, addressing growth and development issues early to simplify later orthodontic treatment. Diode Laser Treatment: Used for minor gum reshaping to enhance the aesthetic outcome of orthodontic treatment. The clinic also handles common issues such as crowding, open bites, deep overbites, missing lateral incisors, underbites, spacing issues, and overjets (protruding front teeth). They prioritize personalized care, developing custom-designed treatment plans based on individual patient needs and expectations. Beyond clinical excellence, Detterline Orthodontics places a strong emphasis on patient convenience and experience. They offer online services through Ortho Sesame, allowing patients to manage appointments, access financial information, view dental images and X-rays, and even pay bills securely online. The team is known for its friendly, professional, and compassionate approach, striving to make every visit comfortable and stress-free. Initial consultations are complimentary and include a thorough oral exam, X-rays, and a discussion of personalized treatment and financial options. The practice encourages patients to continue regular dental check-ups with their family dentist during orthodontic treatment to maintain overall oral health.
