University of Minnesota Orthodontic Clinic

For many patients in Minneapolis, walking into a dental office means steel trays full of equipment and a quick check of teeth before you’re out the door. Orthodontic care steps back from the rush. The University of Minnesota Orthodontic Clinic operates on the sixth floor of the Malcolm Moos Health Sciences Tower, a part of the East Bank campus where the air often carries the blend of campus life and patient focus.

The building on 515 Delaware St SE is one you’ll spot when you need a clearer map through crooked teeth or crowded smiles. Precision brackets and customized wires sit behind the scenes, ready to shift alignment over time instead of the one-hour whirlwind some offices call treatment.

Braces are hardly the only tool they keep on hand. Patients there for crowded canines or stubborn overbites also see options like removable aligners or lingual braces that stick behind the teeth. Younger kids get early interceptive care, teenagers often emerge with discreet ceramic or clear braces, and adults step in for lingual brackets or accelerated straightening protocols if the schedule allows. The place covers the basics before the more tailored alternatives appear.

Call (612) 625-6444 when the details start to stack up. Directions to the clinic are online at map, tucked between University buildings where parking and transit options shift with the semester schedule.
