Meet Dr. Demro

Education and Experience

Dr. Judith Gloeckner-Demro was raised in the Dubuque, Iowa area. She attended the University of Iowa College of Dentistry, where she was awarded her Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS) in 1984.

Dr. Demro practiced general dentistry for four years in Clear Lake, then decided to further her studies and returned to the University of Iowa. She graduated with a Master of Science (MS) degree and a Certificate in Orthodontics in 1990.

Dr. Demro’s experience as a general dentist, prior to her orthodontic training, gives her exceptional insight into the dentition and complex oral health conditions. This allows her to design orthodontic treatment that goes beyond aesthetics, ensuring a lasting improvement in a patient’s bite, jaw function, and dental health.

After completing her Master’s degree and orthodontics certificate, Dr. Demro returned to the area and established her orthodontic practice in Mason City; in 1998 she established her own private practice. In the ensuing years, Dr. Demro has developed and maintained three satellite offices, in Clear Lake, Forest City, and Sheffield, in order to best serve the greater North Iowa region.

Dr. Demro is an active member of the American Association of Orthodontists and the American Dental Association. She is also a Fellow in the World Federation of Orthodontists and is board eligible. Additionally, she is a board member and past-President of the Iowa Society of Orthodontists.

Through these organizations, Dr. Demro has access to the latest research and advancements in the orthodontic specialty. Staying abreast of emerging technologies, materials, and methodologies ensures each of her patients receives optimal treatment and finishes with the best results.
