meet dr. thomas dobie
Dr. Thomas Dobie is a board certified Orthodontist who started his dental training at LSU School of Dentistry in New Orleans, Louisiana.
As a dental student, he was a member of the C. Edmund Kells Honorary Society, which only inducted students that were in the top 10% of their dental class who had also distinguished themselves both academically and clinically.
Dr. Dobie earned his post-doctoral specialty degree in Orthodontics from the University of Connecticut.
In the field of Orthodontics, UConn is considered to be one of the most prestigious programs in the world, with both past and present faculty that have established themselves as pioneers in the field. During his 3-year residency program, he also completed a Master of Dental Science degree with a focus on novel approaches to accelerate Orthodontic tooth movement.
After working for a few years in private practice as an associate, Dr. Dobie joined Dr. Rollins and together they formed dobie revolution orthodontics. Dr. Dobie is currently an adjunct faculty member in the Division of Orthodontics at the University of Connecticut. He has also given back to the Dental community for years as a board member and President of both the New Haven Dental Association and the Shoreline Dental Society.

Our Mission
Love Your Smile
At dobie revolution orthodontics we recognize that the smiles we help create come from more than just treatment alone. Smiles come from straight teeth, for sure – but they also happen when we experience this process together with the shared values of friendship and humor. So when we say Love Your Smile, we are invoking all of you to embrace and improve the smile that you show to the world around you, and to reflect the caring and fun we experienced doing this together.
To ask someone to Love Your Smile is also to educate them on how it can be improved with orthodontics, how it is kept healthy with proper care, and how it should be protected during sports and other activities. If all we did were straighten teeth, our mission would be incomplete. The people we know who love their smiles the most don’t just smile with their teeth – they smile from within. Those smiles? They’re the ones that bring us the most joy.
Here at dobie revolution orthodontics, we do our very best to accomplish these goals every day, and we thank you in advance for the honor of caring for your smile!
