Group and began practice on January 20, 1977.

budget. Comfortable communication is essential
for this to be accomplished. Ken is a member of

Dr. Todd Thayer, an orthodontist, practices in Byron on Thursdays
and alternating Mondays. He has been at Byron Dental Group for 16
years. He also has a practice in Roseville, MN. Three of the Byron
Dental Group assistants work with Dr. Thayer. This greatly enhances
dental treatment for patients of Byron Dental Group while they receive
orthodontic care. An example of this is coordination of orthodontic wires
or brackets that can be removed so that a patient can have fillings or
cleanings done. The patient then walks back down the hall to have the
wires and brackets replaced, all in one coordinated appointment.
