Dr. Wadler is a native Houstonian and grew up in Bellaire and graduated from Bellaire High school in 1963. He attended Tulane University in New Orleans where he met his wife DeDe. After graduating from Loyola College of Dentistry in Chicago, Dr. Wadler did a 2-year residency at University of Texas Dental Branch in Houston and received a certificate in Orthodontics and a Masters in Oral Science. He started his Orthodontic practice in 1973 in Southwest Houston and has been a leader and innovator in the Orthodontic community ever since. He lectures on Orthodontics, SureSmile and Invisalign to various dental groups and is a guest lecturer at the Orthodontic department at University of Texas Dental Branch here in Houston. His proudest accomplishment, however, is his family- daughters, Melissa, Lindsay and Elizabeth and son Jarrett.

He spent much of his leisure time coaching their sports teams and now enjoys hanging out with his grandson Jackson. His bigger thrill is having his oldest daughter, Melissa, practice with him. When not with his family or at the office he can be seen playing lead guitar with his band "Midlife Crisis and the Hot-flashes" or attending to his guitar collection. Dr. Wadler looks forward to taking care of you at Bellaire Family Orthodontics.
