Matthew D. Dunn, DDS, MS
“When I was a child, I had a severe underbite that was corrected with extensive orthodontic treatment. As my teeth moved into their proper position and my bite improved, I became fascinated with how the process worked. This convinced me that I wanted to become an orthodontist when I grew up. I find it very rewarding to be able to help patients of all ages achieve and maintain functional, beautiful smiles. To do this, I’ve made sure that I have the education and training patients can feel confident in. This includes a postdoctoral degree in orthodontics from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry. I am also an active member in several orthodontic and dental societies, which allows me to meet with my peers and discuss the latest advances in my field.”

Courtney A . Dunn, DDS, MS
“I’ve enjoyed science ever since I was a child. This, along with my desire to help make a positive difference in people’s lives, led me to the field of orthodontics. I went on to earn my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree — and postdoctoral degree in orthodontics — from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry. Today, I really enjoy working with patients on a daily basis and enhancing their smiles using today’s most innovative orthodontic solutions and technologies. I always keep in mind that orthodontic treatment is usually new to patients. So I take the time to explain everything in simple, easy to understand terms so they are fully informed about their care.”
