Orthodontics is the perfect marriage between the biological sciences, working directly with people, and working with my hands to create something tangible, lasting, and cosmetically beautiful. My greatest love, however, are the people I meet because of orthodontics. I get such joy in both treating and getting to know my patients for a brief window in their life. I see children come into the office with all kinds of malocclusion and misalignment, but over the course of a few years, I get to know them as individuals while correcting their orthodontic problems.
