'My father, Dr. Wesley H. Ardoin, was also an orthodontist; being a second-generation orthodontist allows me to hear new stories from my patients parents about my father 's impact on their lives. Those stories inspire me to constantly improve myself, professionally and personally, to continue his legacy.
