Meet Dr. Claire Fedore

Get the Lo-Down on this Orthodontist and Dapper Doc

Dr. Claire Fedore hails from East Lansing, MI, where her MSU-football-playing-all-star-dentist father got her in the teeth game early on.

Her tragic missing lateral incisor which was corrected via a magical orthodontic journey shifted her focus to the tooth-moving department of dentistry. From there, Dr. Claire did 11 straight years in Ann Arbor, MI and realized her dream of becoming an orthodontist. Widely recognized as the #1 draft pick in the class of 2016, Lineberger Ortho was eager to hire her fresh out of residency. With an artistic eye for smile design, careful attention to detail, and an organized, systematic approach to efficient, multidisciplinary patient care, Dr. Claire brings a positive attitude and passion for enhancing smiles day in and day out.
