Being the Best Orthodontist

An orthodontist is a specialist who has not only underwent training for dentistry but has also gone the extra mile to become an Orthodontist. Dr. Markus Niepraschk was born and raised in Virginia. He attended dental school at Virginia Commonwealth University and received numerous awards for academic and clinical excellence and was inducted into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon National Dental Honor Society.

Something that not everyone knows is that all orthodontists are dentists, but not all dentists are orthodontists. Dr. Niepraschk’s hard work and dedication to the field of dentistry allowed him to graduate first in his class. Dr. Niepraschk continued his studies by completing a two-year orthodontic residency at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he was awarded a Master of Science degree. On top of this, his research has been published in The American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics.

  • Crowding of the teeth or spacing of teeth
