About Dougherty Orthodontics

Dr. Stefanie Dougherty is described as handling complex cases like impacted canines and jaw-aesthetic considerations, not just routine straightening.

Reviews describe Dr. Stefanie Dougherty as a meticulous clinician who considers facial aesthetics and jaw alignment alongside tooth positioning, and who has guided patients through complicated cases such as surgically exposed impacted canines over several years. Families with multiple children in treatment mention the practice's flexible scheduling and text-based responsiveness, including getting a broken bracket fixed at a patient's school. Kid-friendly touches like a candy wall and photo booth come up often as ways the office eases first-visit nerves for young children.

Hands down the best orthodontist office in STL. From the second you walk into their clean, beautiful, state of the art office, the entire team is welcoming, professional, and genuinely cares about their patients. They take the time to explain every step of my kids treatment and answer all of my questions. Thank you Dr. Dougherty for your expertise and for your kindness to our family. My girls love coming to see you and your incredible staff. I highly recommend this orthodontist to anyone looking for high-quality treatment and exceptional customer service.

I’m so glad we found Dougherty! The staff is always super welcoming & sincerely nice, the Dr. is great too! They communicate well, sharing opinions as well as options. They made sure I knew that they’d match competitors prices & that getting another quote could save me money. My daughter feels very comfortable with all the staff. The office remodel is beautiful…so…five stars! Good job guys!

Every single person we deal with here is so nice and very good at their job. My daughter actually likes coming here. They were so informative about every procedure and what we can expect. And they always work with my schedule. Everyone always has a smile on their face: It feels like a place where people actually enjoy working there. And the decor is also very nice—it gives the place a nice relaxing ambiance. And they have the cutest shirts :)
