Glenn D. Krieger, DDS, MS, FAGD

Founder and Board President

Dr. Krieger graduated dental school in 1992 and moved to Seattle in 1996, where he established a solo boutique restorative practice.

After 20 years as a restorative and cosmetic dentist, Dr. Krieger returned to residency to become an orthodontist and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. He currently maintains a private orthodontic practice in Lewisville, TX and is the founder of Orthopreneurs, an organization dedicated to helping orthodontists run their practices with an entrepreneurial bent.

In the course of Dr. Krieger’s professional journey, he has always tried to assist organizations that helped veterans and their families. When Dr. Krieger started encountering disabled veterans who could not afford orthodontic care for themselves or family members, he decided that he had to do something about it. Thus was started “Embracing Our Warriors”, a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring that qualified disabled veterans and their family members get the orthodontic care they need.
