Crafting Smiles, Cultivating Confidence

Welcome to my world! I'm Dr. Heather Kierl, and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to share a bit about myself with you.

Dr. Heather Kierl

Dr. Heather Kierl was born and raised in Sand Springs, Oklahoma, and has always had a passion for creating confidence through beautiful smiles. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Oklahoma State University, then completed both her Doctor of Dental Surgery and orthodontic specialty training at the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry.
Her journey into orthodontics began at age 12—right from the orthodontic chair. Her teeth were so wild, she was captivated by the changes it made to her smile and her confidence. She knew she had to be a part of this for other people.
With over 12 years of experience, Dr. Heather is known for her warmth, precision, and love of all things smile-related. At Scissortail Orthodontics, she brings a calm, compassionate, and sometimes very chatty presence to every appointment.
When she’s not crafting smiles, you’ll find her spending time with her daughters, Vivian and Quinn (future soccer stars and potential orthodontists), standing near the front door anticipating her next amazon prime order, baking a new dessert recipe, scoping out the best coffee spots in town, or working out. She and Dr. Philip are proud to be raising their family in the heart of Oklahoma—right alongside their Scissortail family.

I love creating confident smiles! Born and raised in Sand Springs, OK, I’ve always believed in the power of a great smile to transform lives. My own orthodontic journey started at 12—and it changed everything for me.

At Scissortail Orthodontics, I combine over 12 years of experience with the latest technology to deliver precise, personalized care in a calm (and sometimes chatty!) environment. Whether I’m fine-tuning a smile or catching up with a patient, I’m all in—because this is more than just teeth, it’s about confidence, joy, and community.

Bryan H.
My daughter (13 yo) was very nervous about getting braces. From the initial assessment through the first several months Scissortail has been amazing! The resources they provide are top notch and we have already started to see significant improvements in her mouth. They worked well with our insurance and were clear about expenses and payment plans.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words about us and our staff. We work diligently day in and day out to provide the best patient experience possible, so it’s wonderful to hear when we meet our goals!

Dr. Kierl and his team value customer satisfaction. I also appreciated that I was always seen in a timely manner. I do not think I ever waited up to 5-10 minutes to be seen throughout the duration of my treatment. I will recommend Scissortail Orthodontics.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words about us and our staff!
