Orthodontists are specialists that have undergone two to three years of advanced training in the field of orthodontics. Orthodontists are the most qualified doctors in the field of dentistry to treat all orthodontic problems. Their level of expertise far exceeds those of the general dentist. Your first appointment is an exciting time!
It's a chance for you to learn about the treatments and services that can help give you the best smile possible. It all starts with the initial consultation. You should plan to spend at least an 30 minutes at the first visit. One day in the not-too-distant future, your braces will come off. In a few moments, you'll be free of bands and brackets, able to eat what you want and run your tongue over smooth, clean teeth.

Services
Adults and kids alike can benefit from the boost in self-confidence that comes from having a great-looking smile with beautifully aligned teeth. Orthodontic treatment can even improve chewing, speaking and oral hygiene in certain cases. And with today's virtually invisible orthodontic appliances, it's possible to keep your treatment a private matter.
In my free time, I try to spend as much time as possible with my daughter, Carson. She recently obtained her Master's Degree in Occupational Therapy at Ithaca College and has begun her full time career. As a family, we enjoy traveling and trying new cuisines. I also love spending time with my two Goldendoodles, Piper and Bentley.
Our greatest goal is to give you the healthy, straight, beautiful smile you've always wanted. We understand that choosing to recieve orthodontic care is a big decision! Our practice will work with you every step of the way to make sure your orthodontic care is rewarding, comfortable and as convenient as possible.

Schafer has been so wonderful to our family. She and the whole staff at her office (Hi Katie! :) Are so comfortable and caring, but also take their work seriously. We always know that when we leave the office, we will be smiling (some of us with straighter teeth!). Many of our friends recommended Dr. Schafer, and I would recommend her as well.

We love Dr. Schafer’s Orthodontics!! Dr. Schafer, Katie and Sandra are always welcoming and very friendly. Both my children and I have had braces/aligners, I would recommend this office to everyone! Whenever a broken bracket or wire happened (usually my son, lol) they were able to get us right in. We drive about an hour to get there and I would choose them again. Thank you Dr. Schafer and staff for our beautiful smiles!!!

We always know that when we leave the office, we will be smiling (some of us with straighter teeth!). Many of our friends recommended Dr. Schafer, and I would recommend her as well. We interviewed several orthodontists before deciding, and Dr. Schafer was who my son and I felt most comfortable with. We have now brought 3 of our children to her for teeth fixin' and couldn't be more satisfied with her patience, her work ethic, and
