Brent E. Larson DDS, MS

Dr. Brent Larson received his DDS from the University of Minnesota and his MS and certificate in Orthodontics from the University of North Carolina. He has actively practiced orthodontics in the US Air Force and at a private practice in Rochester, MN. He previously served on the faculty at the Mayo Clinic and currently serves as Professor and Director of the Division of Orthodontics, as well as the Assistant Dean for Advanced Education at the University of Minnesota. He has written many scientific articles, contributed book chapters, and given many lectures in the US and abroad. He recently received the Distinguished Dental Alumnus Award from the University of Minnesota and was named the Century Club Professor of the Year in 2017. He is a past-president of the American Association of Orthodontists.
