About Vincent & Bullwinkel Orthodontics
Dr. Bullwinkel's attention to airway, posture, and whole-mouth health shows up often in reviews of expander and early phase-1 treatment here.
This orthodontic practice, led by Dr. Katie Bullwinkel and Dr. Howard Vincent, draws frequent mention for early treatment and expander use, including cases tied to airway and mouth-breathing concerns in young children. The office is often called modern and coastal in style, with appointments running on time and little waiting. Families with multiple children in treatment and anxious younger patients come up often, and broken brackets or wires tend to get same-day fixes.

We are a bit new to the practice, my first daughter is just starting her orthodontic journey. However, this place is the absolute best. The staff is wonderful, every single person we have seen has been so nice, warm, and patient. Both Orthodontists are incredible. You can tell they love what they do, and they are both so kind and knowledgeable. I'm so glad we decided to go to Vincent & Bullwinkle, I know we made the right choice!
