Dr. Meghan Vanderheiden is a dedicated orthodontist with a rich background in dentistry and a passion for helping patients achieve beautiful, confident smiles. After earning her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Southern California, she spent eight years as an active duty general dentist in the US Air Force. Her commitment to continuous learning led her to pursue specialization and board certification in orthodontics where she has spent the last eight years transforming lives through the art and science of orthodontic treatment.
Dr. V works part time at Pine Top Orthodontics and full time as a colonel at the US Air Force Academy where she combines her extensive dental experience with the latest advancements in orthodontic technology to provide personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs. She believes that a healthy, straight smile can significantly enhance a person’s quality of life, and she is dedicated to helping every individual feel at their best.
Outside of her practice, Dr. V is an avid outdoor enthusiast who enjoys backcountry snowboarding, camping, and hiking. She often spends her weekends with her husband, two kids, and Corgi dog exploring nature’s beauty, whether it’s tackling a challenging trail or enjoying peaceful moments around the campfire. Her love for the outdoors reflects her belief in balance—caring for both her patient’s dental needs and for mother nature.
Dr. V looks forward to building lasting relationships with her patients and parents as she helps them to embark on their journey to a brighter, healthier smile.
