About Dr. St. Louis
My team here at Central Texas Orthodontics calls me “Dr. B” and I truly feel honored to be in such a wonderful field. I enjoy seeing how much confidence orthodontics can inspire in the smiles of children and adults. I grew up in a small Midwestern town in Indiana. After graduating summa cum laude from Indiana State University, I spent time working at a ski resort in Colorado and Australia teaching children how to snowboard. My desire to continue working with children and my interest in the medical field led me to pursue training in orthodontics. Orthodontics just seemed like the perfect balance. While living in Colorado, I met my wife, Jessica, who looked after the toddlers at the ski school. Jessica attended Texas State University and has family in the Canyon Lake area. She really raved about Austin so I came down to take a look.
After enjoying the mountains for a few years, my wife and I went to pursue our medical endeavors. I went to dental school at the University of California San Francisco. After becoming a dentist, I completed a three-year residency at the Ohio State University's Graduate Orthodontic Program, where I treated patients and received specialized training solely in orthodontics and facial development. During my residency, I earned a master's degree in orthodontics and I also spent two years at Children's Hospital in Columbus, OH treating children with cleft lip and palate.
My wife and I enjoy spending time with our young sons, Sam and Charlie. I enjoy riding my mountain bike, exploring the hill country for barbeque and have recently started to particpate in triathalons, tough mudders and the Warrior Dash events. Please stop in and see me and our wonderful team. We strive to do our best each and every day to help make orthodontics as easy and enjoyable as possible.
