Dr. Michael French

Dr. Michael French was born and raised in Southern Alberta, in the small town of Cardston. In 2003, he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery from Indiana University. He was then accepted to the Indiana University Graduate Orthodontics program, where he completed a Masters thesis and 2 years of orthodontic specialty training. Dr. French is a registered Specialist in Orthodontics and is Fellow of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada.

Despite his many years away from Alberta, Dr. French knew it was always home and his orthodontic career commenced in October 2005 in a practice in southwest Calgary. Over the years, Dr. French had a vision of building his own practice, from the ground up, and on February 11, 2014, that dream became a reality; Authentic Orthodontics opened its doors!

Dr. French enjoys playing basketball, golfing, camping, and spending time with his family. Dr. French and his wife, Shantel, have 8 children that keep their life busy and exciting. They are also active members in their church and community. He is very personable and likes to get to know each patient throughout treatment.
