Haug Orthodontics is a well-established orthodontic clinic with two locations in the Metro East area of Illinois, specifically in Highland and Alton. The practice is led by Dr. Kimberly Haug, an experienced orthodontist who graduated from Alton High School, attended the University of Illinois, and received her Doctorate of Medical Dentistry from Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine. She completed her specialist degree in orthodontics at St. Louis University in 1995 and has been in private practice since, accumulating over 25 years of experience. Dr. Haug is actively involved in the orthodontic community, being a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, the Midwestern Society of Orthodontists, the American Dental Association, and the Illinois State Dental Society.
