Meet Dr. Thayer
From the time I wore braces in my teens to the present, my goal of becoming an orthodontist and providing lifelong smiles continues to be the driving force behind my passion for orthodontics. Every new patient interaction inspires me to create treatment plans that will exceed expectations. I try to simplify treatment explanations by likening them to building “mouth puzzles.” Working “with” patients rather than working “on” patients has been vital to my success. Over the years, I have established working relationships with area dentists. Through these relationships and referrals from patients and families within our practice, we strive to create a welcoming and personalized treatment experience. I look forward to meeting and working with all who seek orthodontic treatment at Thayer Orthodontics.
Specialized Orthodontic Training
Orthodontic specialists complete advanced education through an ADA-accredited orthodontic program after dental school. This specialized training focuses on dental development, tooth movement, and facial growth, allowing Dr. Thayer to diagnose and correct bite problems that general dentistry alone may not address. Using tools such as digital x-rays, Dr. Thayer creates individualized treatment plans for every patient.
Treatment for Every Age
Dr. Thayer provides a full range of orthodontic services, including early treatment, braces for children, braces for teens, and adult orthodontic treatment. Patients can choose from traditional braces, clear braces, and ClearCorrect clear aligners, depending on their needs and preferences.
A Commitment to Continuing Education
Orthodontics continues to evolve, and our practice is committed to continual learning. By attending lectures, meetings, and conventions and maintaining memberships in professional associations, we stay informed about new techniques, products, and equipment that improve comfort and results.
