As a Board Certified Orthodontist, Dr. Bradley brings years of experience to Godley Family Orthodontics, providing specialized orthodontic care and shares a deep commitment to serving patients with excellence, honesty, and heart.

A proud Hoosier native, Dr. Bradley completed her undergraduate degree in Biology — with minors in Spanish, Dance, and Psychology — at Indiana University, before earning her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) and Masters (MSD) from Indiana University School of Dentistry. Her well-rounded academic foundation reflects the same creativity and dedication to lifelong learning that she brings to every interaction.

She takes the time to truly understand each person’s unique needs and smile goals — and finds immense joy in building meaningful connections with her patients and witnessing the confidence that a beautiful, healthy smile can inspire. Like Dr. Godley, Dr. Bradley believes that excellent orthodontic care goes far beyond straight teeth — it encompasses thoughtful attention to airway health, growth guidance, and the long-term wellbeing of every patient she serves.

Dr. Bradley has extensive experience treating a wide variety of cases, including complex treatment with clear aligners, and is fluent in Spanish — allowing her to connect with and serve an even broader range of families in our community. She is excited to work alongside Dr. Godley, and our entire team is delighted to offer even more availability and support for the families we are honored to serve.

Beyond the office, Dr. Bradley is deeply committed to her community and actively contributes to local initiatives close to her heart. When she isn’t perfecting smiles, she loves spending time with her husband, Jeff, and their cavapoo, Lola, exploring new destinations through travel, attending concerts, and boating with family.
