Meet the OSSTL team

The people behind every smile.

Experienced, welcoming and genuinely invested in your care—from the first phone call through the day your new smile is revealed.

Friendly faces. Serious attention to detail.

Great orthodontic care depends on more than an appliance. The person who answers the phone, the treatment coordinator who explains financing, the clinical team member who changes a wire and the doctor monitoring progress all contribute to the same patient experience.

Our team communicates across our Creve Coeur and Sunset Hills offices to keep treatment organized, answer questions clearly and help every patient feel known.
