“I believe that in every person there is a God-given ability or talent that, if nurtured, can touch and better the lives of others. I believe orthodontics is that for me.”

“I believe my purpose is to inspire authenticity so that others may feel confident and free to be their true self. Being an orthodontist allows me to do this and I could not be more grateful.”

Our experienced & talented team is committed to working with you and your family.

Dr. Alan Ostertag

The orthodontic profession allows me to make a physical change in another’s dental health, which can improve their self-esteem and confidence in so many aspects of their life. The most rewarding aspect of being an orthodontist, for me, is the patients. I love seeing each person transform not only their dental health and smile, but personally as they progress in life.

“My family and I have had such a great experience with Dr. Newton and Dr. Ostertag. My biggest concern was making sure my children felt comfortable throughout their orthodontic experience. Not only have both doctors made sure the kids are at ease, they have gone above and beyond this expectation by including them in decision-making about their treatments. They do such a great job of explaining everything in terms I understand. When I need to make appointments, the office team works so well at fitting the appointments around our busy schedules. It is such a great experience every time we walk through their doors.”
