About Welmerink & Utter Orthodontics

Dr. Adam Welmerink and Dr. Megan Utter start many patients on treatment early, speaking directly to young children about their own care rather than only to parents.

This practice sees a notable number of early, phase-one orthodontic cases, and reviews describe doctors and staff who address children directly rather than just their parents. Families with multiple kids in treatment and patients with sensory sensitivities or anxiety mention extra patience and flexible scheduling to ease visits. Cost breakdowns and financing options come up often, with several reviews noting transparent, upfront pricing and no hidden fees.

This office is amazing. The staff is so welcoming and it feels just so family friendly here. For my daughter’s consultation for braces, they were prompt and very thorough with everything from the treatment plan, what foods she can and can’t eat. They even had a welcome sign with my daughter’s name on it. That alone set the tone for an amazing experience with this office. When we came in for her appointment to get the braces on, they took us back and spent time to go over everything once more. It took about an hour to get her braces on and afterwards, the assistant spent time going over how to brush her teeth and floss with braces. She was very thorough about it and made sure that my daughter knew exactly how to brush correctly. They gave her a goodie bag with a very nice electric toothbrush, nighttime toothpaste and more things need for braces. My daughter was so happy leaving and felt good about her braces! Overall this office was truly amazing and the staff is wonderful. We definitely recommend this office for your ortho needs!
