Dr. Mark McAlister is a trusted pediatric orthodontist with a lifelong passion for helping children and teens build confident, healthy smiles. Raised in the small town of Yukon, Oklahoma, Dr. McAlister learned early on the importance of personalized care and genuine connection—values that continue to guide his approach to orthodontics today.
After completing his undergraduate studies at Southwestern Oklahoma State University, he earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry. He went on to complete a hospital-based dental residency in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he gained experience treating a wide range of patients with complex needs. His advanced orthodontic training was completed at the University of Iowa, where he also conducted research on how orthodontic care can improve children's self-esteem and emotional well-being.
At our kid-focused orthodontic office, Dr. McAlister is dedicated to making every child feel comfortable, supported, and excited about their smile journey. Our top priority is to provide high-quality orthodontic care in a warm, friendly environment that children love and parents’ trust.

From the first consultation to the final result, Dr. McAlister is here to support your child with expert care and a gentle touch.
At our practice, your child isn’t just a patient—they’re family.
