Meet Dr. Dan Kratzer – Orthodontist In Shawnee, Midwest City & Norman, OK
I was born and raised in Allentown, Pennsylvania. I am married to Kristin Kratzer, who is a general dentist. Kristin grew up in Green Bay, Wisconsin. We have 3 kids, Eliza, Luke, and Evan. My kids are young, but I can already tell they will all need braces. They are popcorn maniacs, and Luke really loves candy – so I’m no different than you when it comes to some of the future challenges of life with braces!

Orthodontist With A Passion For Orthodontics & Learning

I went to college and dental school in PA before moving to Oklahoma in 2008 to attend an orthodontic residency at the University of Oklahoma. After 11 years of school, my proudest academic achievement came in 2012, when I became board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, a designation that only 30% of orthodontic specialists achieve.

At OU, I met Dr. Behrmann and Dr. Kadioglu, who are the best partners anyone could ask for. Our common mission and vision for Orthodontic Specialists of Oklahoma is to improve the quality or orthodontic care and access to orthodontic care in the state of Oklahoma. We love what we do.

Outside The Orthodontics Office

My family and I love to travel, and our favorite place to relax is the Bahamas or the Mountains. I spend most of my free time playing with my kids, taking them fishing, going biking with them, and playing cards and other games. Luke is only 4, but he always tries to stack the deck when we play – but I’ve caught on to him! Recently we have been learning magic tricks and doing artwork. If I ever have any time to myself, I like to ride my bike or visit the YMCA.

Fantastic experience! From discussing potential treatment plans with the treatment coordinator, Jessica Brooks-Rickey, to consulting with orthodontist, Dr. Alejandro Romero, my experience was top notch! Cannot recommend enough.


Leah O'Rorke


They are simply amazing! I absolutely love my orthodontist and the team they have there! Not only is the facility super clean, but it also smells amazing and provides a calm environment. I’m so glad this is where I decided to go for my braces journey!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️My orthodontist office truly feels like my happy place. I know that might sound different to some, but it’s so real for me. The space is big, beautiful, and peaceful—it just feels perfect and made for me. Every time I walk in, my whole day gets brighter. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the team makes me feel comfortable and cared for. I honestly love and appreciate this place more than words can say. Thank you for always making my visits such a positive and uplifting experience!

Always polite people there to help you with any questions you have. They work very well with my child who is on the spectrum. They have been going at a comfortable pace that works for my son so he feels more comfortable. When he needs a break in between they give him a moment to collect himself. They always answer any questions, so doing be afraid to ask. An my advice is always ask for extra bands we miss place ours all the time. i would recommend anyone I know to go here if they needed braces. Our youngest child will be getting seen there soon as well.

This place is amazing the staff and doctors are friendly and efficient. For years I have been telling my sons regular dentist about my concerns of his overbite and that it was affecting his speech, finally we were referred to this orthodontic dentist practice and they listened to my concerns and my son is finally getting the assistance he needs to get his teeth and jaw corrected. Absolutely 10/10 recommend them!
