About Us
Though an orthodontist can enhance a smile at any age, there is an optimal time period to begin treatment. Beginning treatment at this time ensures the greatest result and the least amount of time and expense.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that the initial orthodontic evaluation should occur at the first sign of orthodontic problems or no later than age 7. At this early age, orthodontic treatment may not be necessary, but vigilant examination can anticipate the most advantageous time to begin treatment.
Meet Our Doctor
Dr. Brodie Bowman
is a native of Ft Walton Beach having attended all 3 local schools- Kenwood, Pryor, and Choctaw. After graduating from Choctaw in 1989, he attended both the University of Central Florida and the University of Florida where he played soccer for the University club teams and surfed competitively in the National Scholastic Surfing Association. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science from the University of Florida as a member of the National Honor Society and was selected to attend dental school at Nova Southeastern University in South Florida.
He completed both his D.M.D and Orthodontic Residency with Highest Honors from Nova Southeastern University, College of Dental Medicine in 2003 and 2005, respectively. Dr. Brodie spent the next 3 years serving as an Orthodontist in the USAF. He was stationed at Yokota AB outside Tokyo, Japan for 2 years and finished his military service at Keesler AFB, in Biloxi, Mississippi as Chief of Orthodontic Services. After separation from the USAF, Dr. Brodie settled next to the slopes in Denver, Colorado where he joined a group practice and helped build 3 additional offices during the 5 years he practiced in Colorado. Dr.Brodie and Dr. Grace often discussed the idea of working together and it didn’t take much enticing to recruit Dr. Brodie back to his turf of Ft Walton Beach.
Dr. Brodie and his family are thrilled to be a part of this warm, inviting community and feel privileged to work with and continue Dr. Grace’s legacy of orthodontic excellence.
