Meet the Heart Behind the Smiles at Barnett Orthodontics
When families choose an orthodontist, they aren’t just choosing someone to straighten teeth. They’re choosing a doctor and a team they will see regularly for months, sometimes years. At Barnett Orthodontics, that relationship really matters to us. Our patients quickly learn our office is more than a place for braces or Invisalign. It’s a place where people are known, welcomed, and cared for like family.
We thought it would be nice to share a little more about who is behind the smiles you see walking out our doors every day. 💗
Meet Dr. Todd Barnett
Dr. Todd Barnett has been creating confident smiles for over 20 years. He has treated thousands of children, teens, and adults, but one thing still hasn’t changed. His favorite day is the day the braces come off.
There is always a moment. The patient looks in the mirror, pauses, and then smiles bigger than they ever have before. Parents usually get emotional. Siblings run over to look. Even teenagers who swore they wouldn’t care suddenly can’t stop grinning. That moment is why Dr. Barnett loves orthodontics.
His education and training include:
Bachelor’s degree in Microbiology, Miami University 🏫
Doctorate of Dental Surgery (magna cum laude), Boston University 🎒
Orthodontic Residency, Boston University 🎓
Orthodontics is a specialty, and Dr. Barnett continues advanced education and training so patients always receive modern treatment methods and updated technology.
He is also an active member of:
American Association of Orthodontists
American Dental Association
Ohio Dental Association
Akron Dental Society
Great Lakes Association of Orthodontists
Outside the office, Dr. Barnett is a husband and a father of three daughters. He is also very involved in the local community. Supporting local families, schools, and organizations is important to him because this isn’t just where he works. It’s home.
Our Team: Experience You Can Feel the Moment You Walk In
One of the first things people notice when they walk in is the atmosphere. We laugh a lot here, and that is on purpose. 😁
Our team is made up of a friendly, experienced group of professionals who come to work every day with one goal, to give patients the best orthodontic experience possible. Some team members have been part of Barnett Orthodontics for decades, with over 40 years of combined experience in our office alone. A few were even patients here before joining the team.
We know orthodontic treatment can feel intimidating, especially for kids. That’s why we focus on:
Explaining everything clearly to parents and patients
Making appointments comfortable and low stress
Building real relationships
Celebrating milestones along the way
We remember your name, your activities, your sports seasons, and your school events. We ask about vacations and games. We cheer when braces come off. 🙌
To us, you are never just an appointment time. You’re someone we genuinely look forward to seeing.
What Makes Barnett Orthodontics Different
Our philosophy is simple:
excellent results + exceptional service + a personal experience.
We combine modern orthodontic treatment with a caring approach. Every smile is different, so treatment is customized to fit each patient, whether that means traditional braces or clear aligners.
Our team believes:
Details matter
Communication matters
Education matters
Most importantly, patients matter
We don’t just straighten teeth. We help improve oral health, function, and confidence that lasts a lifetime.
More Than Braces, Changing Lives
Orthodontics is about much more than appearance. Proper alignment helps with chewing, cleaning teeth, preventing wear, and long term dental health. But the change we notice most is personal.
We see shy kids become confident teens.
We see adults smile in photos for the first time in years.
We see patients stop covering their mouths when they laugh.
That never gets old.
We are grateful every day for the trust families place in us. If you’re considering orthodontic treatment for yourself or your child, we would love to meet you, answer your questions, and show you what makes our office special.
Your smile is important, and you deserve a team that treats it that way.
