What Sets Us Apart

Making Dreams of a Beautiful Smile Come True!

Our smiles touch every part of our lives. When we know our teeth are healthy and straight, we are comfortable with our appearance and that’s obvious in every confident smile we share!

If you’re considering changing your life by changing your smile, Dr. Jerry and the Huerter Orthodontic team are ready to help!

Why Choose Huerter Orthodontics?

We have served Johnson and Wyandotte Counties since 1964, creating generations of smiles for friends and neighbors. Dr. Gerard Huerter Sr, Dr. Jerry’s father, established the practice and Dr. Jerry joined him after completing his dental and orthodontic degrees in 1999.

Our practice is family-focused and patient-centered, always striving to deliver excellence: from your first phone call to finished smile, we are here for you!

Personalized Care: No cookie-cutter orthodontics here! No two people are alike and no two orthodontic treatment plans are exactly alike. Instead, Dr. Jerry will partner with you to find the solutions that work for your unique situation. The two of you will explore all treatment options, discussing the process and expected results, and then decide – together – on what is best for you.

Personalized orthodontics goes beyond the treatment plan. Dr. Jerry will see you at every visit, personally place each bracket, perform all adjustments, and then remove each bracket when your smile is perfect. This is important: you deserve the best treatment and his hands-on approach allows him to make nuanced adjustments to deliver the most incredible results!

Beyond Aesthetics: Braces are braces, right? Not at Huerter  Orthodontics! Dr. Jerry doesn’t just straighten teeth: he emphasizes treatment that delivers improved function, airway and breathing, and proper positioning. When you’re finished with treatment, you will have an amazing smile and have made a lasting improvement to your oral and overall health, too!

Efficient Orthodontics: Your time is valuable and you have plenty of other things to do. We understand! As an independent practice, we set our schedule and run on time, so you’re not left waiting in the reception area or sitting in a treatment chair, and you’ll never feel rushed through a visit, either!

Your orthodontic treatment will be just as efficient, as Dr. Jerry finds the most timely treatment approach without affecting your comfort or results.

Knowledgeable Treatment: Dr. Jerry has been involved in orthodontics since he was born! He grew up learning from his father, and then completed a Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS) and a Master of Science (MS) in Orthodontics. He stays current on the newest methodologies, through continuing education, too, so you receive the most up-to-date, proven care.
