Dr. Kristen Knecht

“My biggest passion in life is being involved in a career that I adore and using those talents to make a difference in an individual’s life through their smile.”
Kristen Knecht

Before pursuing her DDS degree, Dr. Knecht knew she wanted to specialize, and began spending time in a local orthodontist’s office. She quickly realized that this specialty was a perfect fit for her and her personality.

She is a perfectionist who loves “attention-to-detail”, and she was seeking a professional fit that would allow her disposition to impact peoples’ lives in a profound and positive way.

Understanding Orthodontic Treatments

Orthodontic treatments are designed to correct misaligned teeth and jaws, improving both function and aesthetics. Common options include traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, and clear aligners like Invisalign, each offering unique benefits depending on the patient's needs.

For instance, traditional metal braces are often the most effective for complex dental issues, while Invisalign provides a discreet alternative for adults and teens. Understanding the differences can help patients choose the right treatment for their lifestyle and dental goals.

Benefits of Early Orthodontic Intervention

Early orthodontic intervention can significantly impact a child's dental development, often leading to better outcomes and reduced treatment times later on. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7, allowing for timely identification of potential issues.

By addressing concerns like crowding or bite problems early, orthodontists can guide jaw growth and ensure that permanent teeth come in correctly. This proactive approach can lead to simpler treatments and improved long-term oral health.

Patient-Centric Care Philosophy

Knecht Orthodontics prides itself on a patient-centric care philosophy, ensuring that each patient feels valued and understood throughout their orthodontic journey. This approach involves personalized treatment plans tailored to individual needs and preferences, fostering a supportive environment.

From the initial consultation to the final results, patients receive consistent communication and education about their treatment options. This commitment to patient care not only enhances satisfaction but also encourages adherence to treatment plans, leading to successful outcomes.

Advanced Technology in Orthodontics

At Knecht Orthodontics, the use of advanced technology is integral to providing high-quality care. Tools like the iTero digital scanner allow for precise impressions and treatment planning, enhancing patient comfort and accuracy in creating aligners and braces.

Additionally, technologies such as 3D imaging and virtual consultations streamline the orthodontic process, making it more efficient and accessible. This commitment to innovation ensures that patients receive the best possible care tailored to their unique dental needs.
