I was born with congenitally missing teeth. Orthodontics not only changed my smile and function, but gave me confidence. I have always thought that if I could change one persons life the way mine was changed through orthodontic treatment, then my career would be a success.
Being an orthodontist is fulfilling in so many ways: I create beautiful, functional smiles; I get to see confidence and self-esteem bloom in my patients; and I really get to know each patient on a personal level over the course of their treatment.
I graduated from dental school in 2000 and practiced general dentistry for four years. During that time I realized my heart was in orthodontics, so I returned to Indiana University School of Dentistry for my orthodontic residency and Master of Science in Dentistry degree.
A large part of my commitment to patients and my profession is the ongoing pursuit of continuing education. These courses and activities keep me current on the latest orthodontic technologies and techniques and allow me to maintain the highest quality professional care for patients.
I am an active member of the Spear Study Club, which brings together local general dentists and oral healthcare specialists. We collaboratively treatment plan complex, comprehensive cases and study emerging technology and treatment planning strategies.
When Im not creating beautiful, functional, confidence-building smiles, I am usually taking the kids to one of their many activities or chasing the dog around. If I do find a few minutes to myself, though, you might find me at the Midland Trace Trail or at Barre class.
'I have wanted to be an orthodontist for as long as I can remember. I love working with all age groups, but especially have a passion for working with young people. I really enjoy helping people improve their quality of life by creating beautiful, healthy smiles. I have the greatest job in the world.' - Dr. Ronald Miller
