One of the best things about being an orthodontist is the excitement everyone has for the day braces are removed. The joy patients and families have at seeing that first beautiful, braces-free smile is the best reward. Having the privilege of making a positive impact on patients of all ages is what makes the practice of orthodontics so special.
I graduated from the University of Georgia with a BSA in Biological Sciences and BA in Economics. I then attended the Medical College of Georgia, where I earned my Doctorate of Medicine in Dentistry (DMD) and my certificate of specialization in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. I started my career practicing orthodontics in Atlanta, Georgia.
I am originally from Loveland, Colorado, and am so happy to be back as I greatly value time spent with family, friends, and giving back to the community. My husband, Ashton, and I are excited to be involved in such wonderful, kind, and vibrant communities in northwest Colorado. We also enjoy traveling, hiking, running, and skiing.

Don't worry! Braces aren't nearly as scary as you may think. In fact, braces today come in a variety of styles, materials, and colors, making life with braces much easier, more comfortable, and even more stylish than in the past.
Orthodontic braces are a big part of life for many people your age. While braces may have had a bad reputation in the past, today's braces make it easy to look good and feel good! Please contact our practice to schedule your next orthodontic checkup.
Orthodontic treatment is no longer just for teens. In fact, the American Association of Orthodontists states that one in five orthodontic patients is over the age of 21. Many adults are choosing to receive treatment because they understand the importance of maintaining their health, and they want to feel better about their appearance. Adults everywhere are taking advantage of the opportunity to receive orthodontic care, and now you can too.
For many adults, the thought of having metal braces is enough to discourage them from receiving treatment. However, today's orthodontic treatment options offer a variety of braces and appliances that are comfortable, aesthetic, and customized to meet your needs. Types of braces include:
The main difference to remember when treating adults or children and teens, is that in younger patients the jawbones are still developing. For adults, these bones have stopped growing, which may mean the possibility of orthognathic surgery to align the jawbones. Other differences include:
Our practice also recognizes that adults and children have different needs, and require a different level of attention and care. We will work with you to ensure that you receive the most appropriate treatments, and that your needs are met with understanding and respect from us.
