Dr. Powers holds a DDS and MSD, indicating her advanced training beyond dental school, and is one of the few orthodontists in Southern Indiana to be board-certified by The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO), demonstrating a commitment to the highest standards of knowledge and clinical skill. The mission of Powers Orthodontics is to deliver excellent orthodontic care in a friendly, relaxed, and professional atmosphere, prioritizing patient comfort and building lasting, caring relationships. The practice is patient-focused and dedicated to helping individuals achieve the healthiest smile possible, emphasizing that orthodontics extends beyond merely straightening teeth to encompass facial balance, a functional bite, and comfort in jaw joints. Powers Orthodontics offers a comprehensive range of orthodontic services for both children and adults. These include traditional metal braces, clear and tooth-colored brackets, heat-activated wires, and Invisalign, a popular option for discreet teeth straightening using clear aligners. They assess patients as early as age 7 for orthodontic needs and tailor individual treatment plans based on sound, evidence-based principles. Services cover the entire orthodontic process, from initial planning with detailed evaluations (medical and dental history, castings/molds, computer-generated photographs, X-rays) to the active treatment phase with regular adjustments, and finally, the retention phase with custom retainers to maintain results. Dr. Linda Powers herself has a strong background in dentistry and a personal connection to patient care, having experienced dental fear as a child. This experience fuels her dedication to creating a positive and worry-free environment for her patients. She graduated with high honors from Indiana University and completed her prestigious orthodontic program at the University of Illinois at Chicago. She is actively involved in the field, having served as past President of the Indiana Association of Orthodontists, and is a member of numerous professional organizations including the American Association of Orthodontists and the American Dental Association.
