ABOUT ME
Dr. Haydt, says, “My goal is to give every patient an exceptional, customized experience while providing a quality smile he or she will love!”
“The best part of being an Orthodontist is building connections with my patients is absolutely the highlight of coming to work each day. I love being witness to the burst in confidence and self-esteem my patients go through as their smile transforms.”
“As a kid, I was actually quite timid and fearful about going to the dentist! The smell was just as sterile and cold as the environment looked. My orthodontist in high school is the one who changed my perspective about dentistry altogether. His personality was everything you’d expect from a grandpa — warm, welcoming, with an endless supply of jokes. While I was his patient, he hired me to become his orthodontic assistant. There I learned all of the basics of dentistry, and the dental office became a place of learning and excitement for me.”

She completed her Orthodontics training at the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine She is a member of the American Association of Orthodontists. She also speaks Spanish.
