Dr. Danielle C. Ross, Orthodontist

Dr. Ross grew up in Traverse City, Michigan. She started working in an orthodontic practice when she was just 15 years of age. She assisted the doctors and clinical staff, and hence began her interest in becoming an orthodontist. She received a B.A. degree from Albion College in Albion, Michigan in 1995. Dr. Ross received her Doctorate of Dental Medicine in 2000 from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine.

Dr. Ross also has devoted time as a Big Sister in the Big Brother/Big Sister program, which she found to be very fulfilling.

After graduating from Tufts, Dr.Ross attended Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where she received her certificate of advanced graduate studies in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics in 2002. She believes continuing education is crucial, and therefore, completes many hours of specialized studies each year.
