Did you know Dr. Bode is a board certified orthodontist? This is an optional achievement for orthodontists, requiring written and in-person exams plus submitting completed cases! 🤓🦷

Meet Dr. Lynn Bode!

In sixth grade, Dr. Bode knew she wanted to be an orthodontist—and she has never looked back. She shares, "Being an orthodontist is rewarding because I can maintain a relationship with my patients while solving a complex problem, and the end result is a self-confident smile."

A graduate of Temple University's orthodontic residency program, Dr. Bode initially submitted and banked cases for board certification, but then life got busy. Before she knew it, she had started a practice and had two children, leaving very little free time. Her desire to achieve board certification persisted, so she set a goal to complete the process before her youngest child turned one year old.

"With two kids under the age of two, it had been a while since I had taken time to focus on something for myself," she says. "I didn’t realize how proud I would be of this accomplishment. Becoming ABO-Board Certified gave me a sense of professional and personal satisfaction." The experience continues to influence her practice today, as she evaluates treatment outcomes using ABO criteria and views each case as an opportunity to grow. "Grading my work helps me to become a better orthodontist." Dr. Bode achieved board certification in 2018.

Dr. Bode's patient-centered approach was inspired by her own experience as an orthodontic patient. She recalls how her orthodontist spoke directly to her—not just her parents—during her first consultation, a moment that left a lasting impression. Today, at Richmond Orthodontics in Richmond, Indiana, Dr. Bode strives to create that same experience for her patients by ensuring they feel informed, involved, and empowered throughout their treatment journey.
