He is dedicated to ensuring every patient receives not only a radiant smile but also an outstanding orthodontic experience from start to finish.

Dr. Tyler lives locally with his wife and three children. He enjoys spending time with his family adventuring outdoors.

He enjoys learning new skills and volunteering at church and in his community, striving to live and lead with purpose.

Dr. Tyler prides himself on having a chairside manner that blends professionalism, warmth, and genuine commitment to his patients. He looks forward to helping families in North Attleboro and the surrounding communities create confident, healthy smiles for years to come.

"Through practicing general dentistry, I developed a passion for helping patients find confidence and pride in their beautiful, healthy smiles. I chose to specialize in orthodontics to gain the advanced knowledge and skills to handle any case and provide the best outcomes for my patients. An old quote, “If you see someone without a smile, give them yours,” rings true. Orthodontics is a wonderful specialty where I can interact with patients from all different walks of life and impact their long-term happiness and how they present themselves to the world."
