Born and raised in Indiana, Dr. Danielle Godley earned her bachelor’s degree from Anderson University and her DDS from Indiana University School of Dentistry. She then completed a three-year orthodontics residency at the University of Michigan before moving to Houston, Texas, where she practiced while her husband completed his medical training. The couple later returned to Indiana with their two daughters, Grace and Lola, and planted roots in Zionsville—where Godley Family Orthodontics was born.

When she isn’t helping patients achieve their best smiles, Dr. Godley enjoys spending time with family, traveling, and indulging in arts and crafts projects—especially around Halloween and the Zionsville Fall Festival Parade.

At its core, Godley Family Orthodontics is guided by a simple mission: to serve others and inspire joy. Dr. Godley and her team do this by providing beautiful, balanced smiles with treatment that’s simple, efficient, and tailored to each patient.

Patients of all ages—kids, teens, and adults—will find a full range of orthodontic options here, from classic and clear braces to Invisalign and aligners. But what truly sets the practice apart is its attention to overall health. Dr. Godley incorporates advanced technology and focuses on airway health, growth guidance, and even myofunctional therapy to ensure patients leave not just with straighter smiles, but healthier futures.

Giving back has always been central to Dr. Godley’s vision. She has participated in mission trips and supports numerous local initiatives, including the Damar Foundation, STEM Connection, and Metropolitan Youth Ballet. Closer to home, her practice is an active sponsor of the Zionsville Lions and their community events, continuing her commitment to strengthening the place she calls home.

Since opening her practice, Dr. Godley has faced the challenges of building a business from the ground up—but she wouldn’t trade the experience. With an incredible team and strong community support, her office has continued to grow, evolve, and refine its systems to provide the best possible patient care. Looking ahead, she hopes to keep inspiring joy and delivering orthodontic care that feels personal, genuine, and family-centered.

Dr. Godley encourages parents to schedule an orthodontic evaluation for their children by age 7—or earlier if there are breathing or airway concerns. Most kids won’t need treatment that young, but early evaluation can prevent severe issues down the road. For adults, she reminds residents that orthodontic treatment isn’t just for teens—whether it’s a touch-up, express treatment, or full care, today’s options are more convenient than ever. Complimentary consultations are available, with no commitment required.
