Meet the Staff

Melissa

Financial Coordinator

In addition to scheduling internal and external office events and maintaining our office’s website and Facebook page, I help patients with their financial and insurance needs so they can make their orthodontic treatment as affordable as possible. Our team is fantastic and full of people who are excited about orthodontics. We make every part of our patients’ experience fun! Dr. Kleinlerer is fun, fair, and friendly. I look forward to working with her each and every day.

I live with the love of my life, Derek, in Brooks, Maine. We share our home with our yellow lab named Trapper, black lab named Tessie, and kitty named Skittle. My hobbies outside of work include hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, dancing, and photography.

Brittany

New Patient Treatment Coordinator

I meet with all our new patients, as well as those waiting to begin treatment. At the initial appointment, I collect photos, x-rays, and impressions that Dr. MK uses to study each smile and create treatment plans. My favorite part of my job is getting to know each patient and parent, and introducing them to our awesome office. Dr. MK is just wonderful! She is so dedicated to what she does, and it’s very apparent. Her goal is to develop friendships as she creates beautiful smiles. I couldn’t ask for a better doctor to work for.

When I’m not in the office I love to dance and sing. I’ve been doing both since I can remember. I'm also very guilty of doing both while in my car, so if you see someone jamming out at a stop light it could be me!

Lynsie

Certified Dental Assistant/ Clinical Coordinator

I am responsible for assisting with orthodontic care including placing appliances, removing appliances, and everything in between. My favorite days are when our patients get their braces off and they see their new, beautiful smile. Our patients are really awesome and I love getting to know them and their families. I enjoy working with the rest of my teammates and Dr. Kleinlerer because she is passionate about the care she gives our patients.

I love to live life to its fullest! I spend most of my time working, but when I’m not, I love to do anything outdoors.

Kate

Certified Dental Assistant

I assist Dr. Kleinlerer with patient care, whether we are prepping for braces, adjusting wires, or removing braces after their treatment is complete. I like spending time with each patient and getting to know all about their interests, hobbies, school, or family. Dr. Kleinlerer is fabulous! She is kind, gentle, and patients know how much she truly cares about them.

I am outgoing, and when I am not at work, I love to spend time with my family. Dancing is my favorite hobby, and enjoy teaching it in my spare time as well!
