Meet our team of talented staff and care providers

Dr. Helm is a board-certified orthodontist who graduated first in his class from the University of Nebraska before earning his Master of Science and specialty certificate from The Ohio State University. Known for his “perfectionist at heart” philosophy and conservative approach to care, fellow providers have recognized him as a “Top Orthodontist” in 5280 Magazine every year since 2013. Beyond his clinical expertise, Dr. Helm is a published researcher in bone biology and a leader in the field, having previously been selected by the American Association of Orthodontists as an emerging leader.

Since opening his Green Valley Ranch practice in 2010, Dr. Helm has remained deeply committed to his community, both through local school support and providing care to children in need via the Colorado Orthodontic Foundation. Outside of the office, he is a devoted husband and father of three, which helps him relate personally to the families he serves. Whether he is volunteering at his church, skiing, or cheering on Denver’s sports teams, Dr. Helm brings the same passion to his personal life as he does to creating life-changing smiles for his patients.
