Dr. Kelly is from Mount Vernon, Iowa. She graduated from Mount Vernon High School in 2017, where she laid the foundation for her academic journey. Following high school, she attended the University of Iowa, earning a degree in Interdisciplinary Sciences with a pre-dental focus and a minor in Spanish. Currently, she is set to graduate from the University of Iowa College of Dentistry in June 2025, where she has developed the clinical skills and knowledge necessary to begin her dental career.
Lexi is happily married to Jon, and together they are proud to have their adorable Pomeranian, Frankie, as part of their family. She is passionate about building meaningful relationships with dental patients, ensuring they feel comfortable and well-cared for during every visit. Committed to continuing education, she stays updated with the latest treatments to provide the best care possible.
Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with family—whether traveling, watching movies, or relaxing by the lake. She believes in the importance of creating memories with loved ones and cherishes every moment spent with them.
🦷 What is Phase I Orthodontics?
Phase I starts while kids still have a mix of baby and adult teeth—usually around ages 6–10.
✨ Why do we recommend it?
Phase I isn’t about getting a perfect smile right now. It’s about guiding growth and setting the stage for a healthier, easier future smile.
✔️ Creates room for incoming adult teeth
✔️ Helps correct bite or jaw growth issues early
✔️ Can reduce the need for extractions or more complex treatment later
✔️ May shorten (or simplify!) Phase II treatment in the teen years
👀 Not every child needs Phase I, but for the right patient, early treatment can make a big difference.
If your child is around age 7 and hasn’t had an orthodontic evaluation yet, now is a great time to get scheduled!
Early looks = smart planning. 😊
