Lakes Orthodontics

02/13/2026

This week we celebrated two huge milestones at Lakes Orthodontics! 🎉

11 years of Dr. Wang leading, growing, and inspiring our practice, and 16 incredible years of Erin being the heart and backbone of Lakes Orthodontics.

If you know anything about this dynamic duo, you know they are fun, compassionate, and deeply dedicated… Not just to beautiful smiles, but to the people behind them.

Their leadership, loyalty, and heart have created something more than just a practice - they’ve built a place where patients feel cared for and our team feels supported and inspired every single day!

We are so lucky to walk alongside them. Here’s to the impact they’ve already made and the many more years of laughter, growth, and smiles ahead 💙✨

✨Team Member Highlight✨

Amanda has been part of the Lakes Ortho family for 2 years, and if you’ve ever walked through our doors or called the office, chances are she’s made your day a little brighter. ☀️ As one of our concierge team members, Amanda is the friendly face that warmly welcomes patients in and one of the kind voices you hear on the phone! She is always helpful, always caring.

Outside the office, Amanda loves spending quality time with her children and family, cheering on her boyfriend Dustin at his chili cook-off competitions 🌶️, and unwinding with a good true crime binge or Friends reruns.

She brings so much kindness, positivity, and heart to our team, and we’re so grateful to have her as part of Lakes Orthodontics. 💙

🌟 Team Member Highlight: Hai 🌟

If you’ve ever liked, shared, or smiled at a Lakes Orthodontics post, there’s a good chance Hai was behind it 📱✨

Hai has been part of the Lakes family for 8 years, starting at the front desk, then helping patients navigate insurance and finances, and now leading our team as Lead Concierge. Her journey is a testament to her dedication, care, and commitment to making every patient feel supported.

Outside of work, Hai is social and easygoing - always up for an adventure, but just as happy unwinding at home with her husband and her corgi, Nami 🐶. Her idea of a perfect night includes an adventure novel and a feel-good TV show, cozying up after a busy day!

Hai loves helping tell the stories of our patients and team, and is proud to be part of a practice that goes beyond braces to truly care for people. 💙

✨ Lakes Orthodontics Holiday Party 2025 ✨
Last night we celebrated one of our favorite traditions — our annual ornament and gift exchange — at CHS Field in St. Paul during the Glow Festival of Lights! 🎁✨🌟

It was a magical evening surrounded by lights, laughter, and the warmth of our incredible team. We’re so grateful for the chance to reflect on the year together and to appreciate the amazing individuals we get to work with every day. Our team truly is a family, and we feel so lucky to touch the lives of our wonderful orthodontic patients. 💙🦷

As we wrap up the year, we want to wish all of our patients and their families a joyful holiday season and a New Year filled with love, peace, and bright smiles. Thank you for being part of our Lakes Orthodontics community — it is an honor to be part of your journey. ❄️💫

We had the most amazing display of Northern Lights in the Twin Cities last night! For many of us, this was our first time witnessing this phenomenal and rare event oftentimes only seen in the far north of Minnesota near Canada! What a magical and special moment! Here is a sample of our team’s photos taken from our homes last night! Post your amazing photos in the comments!! 👇🌅

🌟 Team Member Spotlight: Maddie! 🌟

If there’s one word to describe Maddie, it’s multitalented! She’s been part of the Lakes Orthodontics family for 6.5 years and her journey here is nothing short of inspiring.

Maddie first came to our office as a patient of Dr. Denis (Dr. Wang’s predecessor). From there, she became an intern, earned her license as a dental assistant, helped out at the front desk, and now shines as our amazing Lead Treatment Coordinator. 💫

Outside of work, Maddie loves spending time outdoors with her family, boyfriend, and her adorable corgi, Zeppelin 🐶. She’s also a big fan of exploring local coffee shops… Always on the hunt for the next best latte! ☕️

Maddie is a true triple threat! Hardworking, versatile, and full of heart. We’re so lucky to have her on our team! 💙
