Meet Dr. Tim Bitner

Education and Experience

I was born in Omaha, Nebraska and lived all around the world, including England, while my dad was in the Air Force. We eventually made it back to Utah where I went to school at Bear River High. Soon after gradating, I served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ in Belém, Brazil while speaking Portuguese.

Upon returning home, I married my high school sweetheart, Carly Jo, in the Brigham City Temple. We both attended Brigham Young University where I graduated with highest honors (Summa Cum Laude) with a Bachelor's in Exercise Science.

I then attended the University of Utah School of Dentisty where I recieved my Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS). After four years of intense training, I was accepted into the Orthodontic residency at the University of Minnesota. At the completion of those two years of specialty training, I earned my Master of Science (MS) degree and a Certificate of Orthodontics.

After 10 years of higher education, we returned home and I worked as an associate orthodontist for Dr. W. Clark Andersen for three years when the practice was known as Edge Orthodontics. After his retirement in July of 2025, I purchased the practice and changed the name to Bitner Orthodontics.
