Smiles of Ohio Orthodontics

Smiles of Ohio Orthodontics, under the leadership of Drs. Behringer, Eckhardt, and Potocki, has a rich history of providing orthodontic care in Northwest Ohio, tracing its origins back to 1963 when Dr. Jerrold Behringer opened his solo practice in Defiance. Over the decades, the practice expanded with additional offices in Bryan (1984) and Wauseon (1988), evolving to its current multi-doctor, multi-location structure. The practice offers a full spectrum of orthodontic services for patients of all ages, from children requiring early intervention to teens and adults seeking to correct their smiles. Key treatments include traditional metal and ceramic braces, as well as clear aligner therapy with Invisalign. They also address more complex issues such as jaw surgery and TMJ disorders, and provide retainers for post-treatment care. Smiles of Ohio Orthodontics prides itself on integrating cutting-edge technology into its practice, including digital X-rays and intraoral scans to replace traditional impressions, and simulations to help patients visualize treatment outcomes. The clinics are designed to be comfortable and welcoming, with a focus on personalized patient care. The team emphasizes a patient-first approach, regularly attending seminars and conferences to stay updated on the latest advancements in orthodontic techniques and technology. The Wauseon office, specifically located at 515 Parkview St, recently celebrated a grand opening for its new, larger facility in January 2022, aimed at enhancing patient comfort and improving service delivery. This location, like their other offices in Bryan and Defiance, offers convenient access for residents across the region. Patient testimonials frequently highlight the friendly and knowledgeable staff, the comfortable environment, and the effective results achieved. Smiles of Ohio Orthodontics is committed to "Creating Beautiful Smiles to last a Lifetime," focusing on both the aesthetic and functional aspects of oral health.
