Meet Dr. Danielle Ross

         Windham, NH Orthodontist

     

         Orthodontics has been apart of my life for a long time

         

 

  I discovered orthodontics when I was just 15 years old while working in an orthodontic office in 

Traverse City Michigan.  I was immediately drawn to the combination of science, precision, artistry, and the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in someone’s life!  That early experience inspired me to pursue a career in orthodontics.  Today, I feel incredibly fortunate to have spent my career doing something I truly love: helping children, teens, and adults achieve healthy, beautiful smiles and the confidence that comes with them.

WhyWindham?

For me, being an orthodontist has always been about much more than straightening teeth.  It’s about getting to know my patients and their families, earning their trust, and being part of the community I serve.  That’s especially meaningful to me because Windham is home! I have raised my family here and have been fortunate to build lasting relationships with generations of local families.  I’ve watched children grow into young adults, and I’ve had the pleasure of welcoming some of those former patients back when they return with their own children.

Those relationships are one of the things I value most about practicing orthodontics.

My approach to Orthodontic care

Every patient is different, and I believe treatment should be individualized to the person, not simply based on a standard formula.

I take the time to understand each patient’s needs, development, goals, and concerns before recommending treatment.  Sometimes the best time to begin treatment is now.  Sometimes it is better to wait and monitor growth.  Sometimes no treatment is needed!

I believe in treating patients when they need treatment, not simply because they are in my office.

My goal is for every patient and parent to understand their options and feel comfortable asking questions.  I want families to leave our office feeling informed, confident, and cared for.

Education and Experience

My interest in orthodontics began early, and my passion led me to Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, where I graduated Suma Cum Laude.

I continued my education with specialized training in orthodontics and have dedicated my professional career to the specialty.

Over the years, I’ve continued advanced education and training and have stayed current with developments in orthodontic treatment and technology.  Our practice offers a range of modern treatment options, including traditional and clear braces, as well as Invisalign.

My professional involvement and continuing education are important to me because orthodontics continues to evolve, and my patients deserve care that reflects current knowledge, technology, and treatment options.

More than a beautiful smile

Orthodontic treatment can change much more than the appearance of a smile.   A well-planned treatment can improve the way teeth fit and function, make them easier to keep clean, and give patients the confidence that comes from feeling good about their smile.

For children and teens, orthodontics can also provide an opportunity to guide developing smiles at the right time.  For adults, treatment can finally address something they’ve wanted to change for years.

Whatever brings you to our office, my goal is the same: to provide exceptional orthodontic care with personal attention. You’ll see me on every visit, not just a team member.  Although, they are amazing!

A practice built on relationships

After so many years in orthodontics, one of the greatest rewards has been seeing how much a smile journey can mean to a patient.  I am proud of the practice we’ve built in Windham, NH, and especially proud of the relationships we’ve built along the way.

When you walk through the doors of Windham Orthodontics, I want you to feel that you are more than a patient. You are part of our orthodontic family.

While technology, techniques, and treatment options will continue to change, I believe the most important parts of orthodontic care will always remain the same.  Listen. Educate. Pay attention to details. And care about the person behind the smile.
