Dr. Randy Schmidt became an orthodontist due to his own positive experience with braces as a child. He wanted to be able to provide others with the same level of great care that he had. Thanks to his efforts and his dedication to his patients, our orthodontic practice has become a regional treatment center for TMJ disorders as well.

Kids get the most out of treatment when we start early. That’s why we suggest a check-up by age 7. At this stage, we can spot signs that the jaws may be growing unevenly or that the bite is off. Fixing these issues early can often mean less treatment later — and better results.
Our tools gently guide the jaw into better positions as your child grows. These small changes can lead to big improvements over time, such as better breathing, easier chewing, and less stress on the teeth and joints.
Here are some of the ways dentofacial orthopedics help:
Our care focuses on more than just how teeth look. We want your child to breathe easier, speak more clearly, and smile with comfort. Every plan we create is based on clear images, careful measurements, and your family’s goals.
Starting early helps us use your child’s natural growth to our advantage. For older patients, we focus on improving how the mouth works and feels. No matter your age, we aim to make life easier with a healthier, better-functioning jaw.
Take the First Step Toward Better Health
Strong jaw alignment helps your child chew, speak, and sleep better. At Orthodontic Alliances, we offer proven care that fits your life and goals. Let’s work together to build lasting results and confident smiles.

Amazing staff. Everyone was so kind and patient. Thank you for all you do. Return client with another child. Highly recommend the office. My oldest daughter got her braces done at this wonderful office years ago and now we are back for my youngest daughter to get braces . Yes 10’s across the broad.
It became quickly evident that the orthodontist and the staff are very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly.
Always a pleasant visit! Friendly staff, especially Pam at the front desk! Would definitely recommend.
We had a wonderful visit my granddaughter is only 7 and everyone spoke directly to her and made sure it was explain in words she could understand and made Lorelei feel very involved in the decision making she was able to come home and explain everything that is going on in her mouth and why braces are needed at this time to everyone here at home and even her aunt and papa who live in a different town You and your staff are amazing thank you all so much! The Steigely family
Super nice, very informative and we got my sons braces put on the same day! Then decided to go back and get braces at 45! Pam is always amazing
I highly recommend this place the staff are wonderful and very professional
Pam is always so very helpful! All of the women and ladies in the back are so kind and have helped my son with any of his problems, even on a cold call, no appt, stop in basis (I’m certain this is if they can). They are always well staffed, and both of the Dr.’s have a kind manner. Payment optioned were well outlined by Pam when I came in, and she worked with me and my insurance for my son. As a side note, they do not accept care credit due to the very high interest rates.
Everyone was so sweet. Am happy that Dr schimt Randy found what’s going on with my jaw. This is definitely the place to go. Thank you .
For the most part we’ve had a wonderful experience (I can’t say enough nice things about the office staff and Dr. Evan); however, I felt fairly disregarded by the assistant who my daughter had as we were leaving her most recent appointment. She’s still a believer in the tooth fairy (and I’m a wacky parent who has saved every single tooth from all my kids). She had a tooth come out with some work and when I asked about it I was simply told it was thrown away like it was no big deal. Pam was a huge help in convincing my daughter we could write the tooth fairy a note but that doesn’t help my feelings in this situation. I couldn’t say more about it in person without ruining the tooth fairy for my kids, but I definitely think it should have been handled with a lot more care. Or at least it could have been mentioned that if the tooth came out we wouldn’t get it.
Wonderful as always!!
Everyone I came in contact with was sweet and thorough. Did adult braces with them and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. Cost effective and great at their job.
We can see you as soon as tomorrow!
