Passionate, Skilled, and Approachable
Get To Know Dr. Vivian Snider
Dr. Vivian Snider is not your typical orthodontist. A Colorado native, she grew up surrounded by the Rocky Mountains, which instilled in her a love for the outdoors and an appreciation for natural beauty. This passion now translates into her orthodontic practice, where she strives to enhance each patient's naturally beautiful smile.
Dr. Snider's journey to becoming an orthodontist has taken her all across the country. She received her undergraduate degree from Dartmouth College, where she played Division 1 volleyball, and her dental degree from Columbia University. After completing her orthodontic training at the University of Illinois in Chicago, Dr. Snider practiced orthodontics in her hometown of Colorado Springs before moving to Montana and joining an office in Billings. She is thrilled to have settled in Bozeman to open her private practice and finally put down some roots!
What truly sets Dr. Snider apart is her commitment to creating a fun, energetic, and patient-focused practice. She believes that orthodontic treatment should feel like a positive experience, not a chore. Her approach combines the latest in orthodontic technology with a warm, personable demeanor that puts patients of all ages at ease.
When she’s not caring for her patients, Dr. Snider can be found skiing, hitting the trails on her mountain bike, and participating in local sports leagues. Her active lifestyle makes her a perfect fit for the Bozeman community, and she’s excited to be here, helping her neighbors smile brighter.
