“To me, Orthodontics is much more than a process to improve the function and esthetics of the dentition. As an Orthodontist, I feel that I have the incredible opportunity to become a part of my community. I believe in the empowerment of transformation and think that our lives are enriched through our relationships and service to others. As your orthodontist, I believe that my mission is not only to help you find a better smile, but also to listen, learn, and grow with you in life.” Dr. Jonathan Dzingle earned his Bachelor’s degree and Doctorates in Dental Surgery from the University of Michigan.
