I earned my Bachelor of Science degree and a Masters in Business Administration from James Madison University and my Doctor of Dental Surgery from the Medical College of Virginia and have practiced orthodontics exclusively in Charlottesville since 1996.

In addition to earning my specialty degree as an orthodontist, I am a board-certified Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, an honor held by only one-third of orthodontists in the U.S. I am also a member of the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Honorary Dental Society, the American Association of Orthodontics, and the American Dental Association.

I served as President of the Charlottesville/Albemarle Dental Society, President of the Medical College of Virginia Orthodontic Foundation and on the Board of Directors of the Charlottesville Community Childrens Dental Center.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and three sons, traveling and exploring distant places, cheering on the UVA Hoos including at the National Championship and Final Four games in 2019, playing golf, surfing, paddleboarding and fishing.

I absolutely love orthodontics and getting to know the people behind the smiles! Its wonderful to have the opportunity to build relationships with our patients and their families and watch as their smiles transform over time. I love my job because it allows me to improve the health and confidence of our patients.

I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of Virginia (go Hoos!) and graduated with honors before attending dental school at Virginia Commonwealth University, graduating at the top of my class. After dental school, I completed an additional three years of specialized training in orthodontics at Montefiore Medical Center in New York, where I learned the most advanced techniques for treating both children and adults.

Before moving to Charlottesville, I practiced orthodontics in New York City and Philadelphia while my husband, JT, completed his residency in reconstructive plastic surgery. In addition to obtaining my specialty license in orthodontics, I am a board certified Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, an accomplishment attained by only about 1/3 of orthodontists in the US. In order to give the highest quality of care to our patients, I regularly attend continuing education courses to stay up to date on the latest advances in orthodontics. I am a member of the Omicron Kappa Upsilon dental honor society and the American Association of Orthodontists.

My husband, JT, and I met at UVA and are thrilled to be back in Charlottesville with our sweet daughter, Blair. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, cheering on our Virginia Cavaliers, and taking walks with our daughter. I love living in Charlottesville and enjoying all the restaurants, music, and fun outdoor activities it has to offer.

Most people associate orthodontics with young teenagers whose teeth are covered by a latticework of metal. There are many orthodontic patients who fit that description and wear braces as a form of orthodontic treatment. However, there now exists an increasingly popular alternative to traditional metal braces: Invisalign clear aligners.

As the name implies, Invisalign clear aligners are made of almost invisible polyurethane plastic. Rather than being cemented or bonded to the teeth as metal or clear braces are, clear aligners are completely removable, for important social occasions, for eating, and, most importantly, for tooth-brushing and flossing. However, you must resist the temptation to take your aligners out more than is advised.

Invisalign clear aligners work the same way traditional braces do: by applying carefully controlled forces to teeth to move them into a better position. The difference is that they are not made of metal; instead, they are made of clear, flexible plastic.

2.This movement will be broken down into about several dozen stages. For each stage, the Invisalign company will manufacture two plastic mouth trays or aligners, one to fit over your top teeth and one for the bottom.

3.You will wear this first set of trays for two weeks, for a minimum of 22 hours per day. You will then move on to the next set of aligners in your series to accomplish the next stage of gradual movement. You will keep doing this until your teeth are correctly aligned

Invisalign can also be used as a form of orthodontic treatment for teenagers. For the teen who wants a more discreet form of orthodontic treatment that offers comfort and more flexibility, Invisalign Teen is specially designed with teenage patients in mind.

The Magic of Orthodontics Proper alignment of the teeth is basic to Smile Design. Their position dictates how they work together and affects the way you look and smile. Only orthodontic treatment can move teeth into the right position. Simply put, when things look right, they probably are right.
