CEDAR RAPIDS & MARION ORTHODONTIST
Meet Dr. Brady Novak
“Being an orthodontist allows me to touch many lives, building relationships while helping people achieve a smile they love. With straight teeth and an incredible smile, people gain confidence, and their self-esteem grows immeasurably.
Every day, I meet people who are ashamed of the way their teeth look. This affects all parts of their life, as they feel insecure at school and work, worried about what others think of their appearance. I reassure each person that we'll gently shift their teeth into the proper position, creating functionality while developing a wonderful smile.
As patients move through treatment, they see a change in their appearance. They start feeling better about how they look, and that's reflected in their behavior. I see them start to make eye contact, talk and engage with others, and then smile and laugh with ease.
When we're finished, and a patient sees what they've achieved, they can't stop smiling, and neither can I. They're going to have a healthier, happier life as a result of what we've done, and I'm happy for them.”

CEDAR RAPIDS & MARION ORTHODONTIST
Meet Dr.
Karl Swenson
“As an orthodontist, I can transform people's self-esteem and confidence. Orthodontic treatment improves oral health, function, and the smile. It's amazing to watch a person move through treatment, seeing them grow and change as they see their teeth move into the correct position.
No two patients are the same: each has clinical issues, personal concerns, and goals. I tailor treatment to each patient, focusing on efficient care that delivers the highest-quality results. I want patients to complete treatment with a smile they love and to have enjoyed every step of the journey!
My father was a dentist and I'm married to a pediatric dentist. Growing up, I always knew I wanted to work in the dental field. I chose orthodontics as I like the aesthetic component, combined with the science. Each day presents its own challenges and I constantly have to think of new techniques and approaches to solve each patient's malocclusion.
Seeing the happiness on a patient's face when we're finished and I show them their before and after photos is incredibly rewarding. They can't look away from the mirror and are unable to stop grinning!”

Why See an Orthodontist?
Orthodontists specialize in correcting misalignments and bite issues, which general dentists typically do not focus on. Orthodontists undergo additional training to master these treatments, ensuring the best outcomes for teeth straightening and overall oral health.
Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic treatment offers numerous benefits beyond just a beautiful smile. Physically, it improves oral health by making it easier to clean teeth and reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Mentally, a straight smile boosts self-esteem and confidence. Socially, it enhances interactions and first impressions. Professionally, a confident smile can positively impact your career and personal growth.
