What people are saying about us
Since our children have been patients of Dr. Bauer’s, our family is very pleased with the service we receive. After taking my child to another orthodontist for many years, and with one child still in braces, we were a little nervous when we needed to change doctors. Dr. Bauer and the office sta have been wonderful throughout this transition and are highly recommended by our family!

As an adult seeing Dr. Bauer and as a parent of a patient I really appreciate how well the office is run. Dr. Bauer has really taken the time to explain the treatment process regarding the issues I have had with the joint in my jaw bone. He is thorough and I am already seeing more progress in just the past three months than I did with years of previous orthodontist care.

I have had jaw pain for the last 10 years. The pain continued to worsen and I couldn’t sleep or eat on my right side due to my jaw pain. Dr. Bauer was so helpful in explaining what the problem was. It has been only three weeks with my splint and my jaw is 100% better. Dr. Bauer’s expertise and skills are excellent for patients with jaw and joint problems. I am very confident in his treatment.
