When I came to the United States, my teeth made me look like Dracula. Not surprisingly, in my 2nd year of dental school I became an orthodontic patient and wore a full metal set of braces. I got them off a day before my wedding. Straightening my teeth was a life changing process. It gave me the kind of self-confidence Ive never had before. It had such an impact on my life that I decided I want to give that gift to other people. Dentistry is my love but orthodontics is my PASSION!
