For a mom, a smile is more than straight teeth. It’s confidence on school picture day, joy on her child’s face, and peace of mind knowing her loved one is being cared for by people she trusts.
That’s why families across Central Iowa continue to turn to DSM Orthodontics—a practice rooted in the community and dedicated to creating generations of beautiful smiles.
Nestled inside a charming, classic house-style building on University Avenue in Des Moines, the office has been a cornerstone of orthodontic care for more than 70 years. Originally founded in 1954, the practice built a legacy centered on trust, excellence, and treating every patient like family.
In 2025, Dr. JJ Grabouski brought new energy and modern expertise to the practice, continuing this proud tradition while helping today’s families feel confident in their care.
Parents want to know their child’s orthodontic journey is in experienced hands—but they also value accessibility, affordability, and convenience. That’s where DSM Orthodontics truly stands out.
