When told she must have chosen to become an orthodontist because of her beautiful smile and teeth she just laughs and tells her back story to the smile she has today. “My decision to become an Orthodontist was solidified the day my braces went on in fourth grade. Due to my misaligned teeth and excessive overbite and overjet, my confidence was always affected. After two sets of braces with a Bionator in between, my self-esteem was elevated beyond all my expectations. Today, my goal is to be able to provide this same transformative experience to all my patients and create the beautiful smile every person deserves.”
