Bates Orthodontics

Most dental offices handle fillings and cleanings, but orthodontics is a different specialty entirely. When alignment or bite issues come into play, general dentists often refer patients to places that focus solely on braces, retainers, and corrective treatments. That’s where a dedicated practice steps in—no distractions, just straightening teeth and refining smiles.

You’ll find this kind of focused care at Bates Orthodontics, tucked along University Avenue SE in Minneapolis. The address, 2701 University Ave SE #101, puts it in a stretch of the city where healthcare offices and local businesses mix seamlessly. It’s not the kind of place you’d stumble upon unless you were looking for it, but that’s typical for specialty practices that don’t need flashy signage to draw a crowd.

Orthodontics isn’t just about aesthetics—though that’s a big part of it. It’s also about function, making sure jaws align properly and teeth wear evenly over time. Whether it’s traditional metal braces, clearer aligner options, or early interventions for kids, the work here is all about long-term results. Questions about treatment plans or initial consultations? They’re easy to reach at (612) 379-2424.

If you’re mapping out a visit, the exact location and best routes are a tap away via directions here. University Avenue can get busy, but that’s Minneapolis for you—always moving, even when you’re just trying to fix a crooked tooth.
