“Excellent experience with the orthodontist and staff! Everyone was friendly, professional, and made me feel comfortable during every visit. The office was clean, appointments were on time, and the treatment was explained clearly. I was very happy with the results and highly recommend this office to anyone looking for great orthodontic care!”
Everyone there is so helpful and knowledgeable and patient!
Lakeside Ortho is kind and professional. They are great at communication too.
The orthodontist here seems genuinely detail-oriented, which gave me confidence from the start. During appointments they explain exactly why certain teeth are moving slower or why adjustments are necessary. One time they noticed my retainer wasn’t fitting properly anymore and fixed the issue immediately instead of waiting until the next visit. The waiting room can get crowded after school hours, but once appointments begin everything feels calm and efficient.
The team here at Apple Valley are awesome! They’re all so nice and welcoming. I was so scared when I first came in being an adult and getting braces, but they made me feel so seen. I would 100% recommend!!

Invisalign® aligners offer a discreet, comfortable solution for teens and adults seeking straight teeth without traditional braces, while Smile Express® provides streamlined Invisalign treatment for adults who want fewer office visits and maximum convenience. For children age 7 and up, early treatment and growth monitoring allow our orthodontists to proactively guide jaw development, correct bite issues, and create space for permanent teeth. To complete your smile transformation, professional teeth whitening enhances brightness and confidence, making Lakeside Orthodontics a trusted destination for advanced orthodontic care in the Twin Cities.

Invisalign® aligners provide a clear, measured way to straighten your bite. We use the iTero™ digital scanning tool to plan your treatment with exceptional proficiency, removing the need for traditional impressions.
Smile Express®
Smile Express® is a treatment option for adults seeking cosmetic adjustments. This process utilizes proven Invisalign aligners with the clinical oversight of our orthodontists and fewer in-office visits.
