Background

Clinical background

Dr. Okonkwo completed her orthodontic residency (MSD) at the University of Michigan after her DDS in 2010. She holds Invisalign Elite provider status and has treated over 4,000 orthodontic cases in her Detroit practice, ranging from complex jaw alignment to adult aesthetic straightening.

Dr. Okonkwo leads all orthodontics and Invisalign coverage. She has developed our monthly-cost transparency scoring for ortho practices — too many clinics quote a headline monthly figure that omits records fees, retainers, and refinements.
