Meet the Orthodontist
Come meet Dr. Schmidt!
As an Orthodontist, I am truly blessed. I have met many outstanding individuals who have added to my personal life experience, professionally and personally. Some were patients or parents, some were mentors, some were colleagues, some were employees, but all were friends. I do not know of anyone in any other job who has more fun and satisfaction than I do.
Education
I have received the following certificates on my path to Orthodontics:
Bachelor of Science Degree University of Minnesota 1963-1966
Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree University of Minnesota 1966-1970
United States Navy Dental Rotating General Internship and Marine Corps 2nd Marine Division Dental Command 1970-1972
Orthodontic Graduate School Degree University of Minnesota 1972-1974
Continuing Education and Teaching
I have both taken and given many continuing education classes on Orthodontics over my 36-year career. I have sifted through the fads and taken into my practice the best treatments that are based on indisputable biologic principles.
After treating literally thousands of patients, I have seen about everything. Teaching keeps me abreast of the latest technology, while my experience gives me the eye to keep what is good and discard the rest. I am currently on the Orametrix faculty and have lectured at the Marquette Graduate School of Orthodontics. I have also given classes for Sure Smile in Texas, Australia, across the country on the web, and throughout the local region.

Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics since 1990
Board certified by the American board of Orthodontics since 1990
