Being an orthodontist is the best way to combine my love for the sciences and detailed artistic creation. I get to work with individuals who are excited about transforming their lives by changing their smiles, and creating unique works of art that everyone can admire and enjoy.
Its an honor to be part of a persons journey for the short time theyre in treatment. Every day I meet new people, strengthen connections with established patients, and witness the growth and change of those in my care.
It is good to know that the smiles we accomplish have a positive effect on a person not only while in treatment, but in the future, contributing to their happiness and success. I love being an orthodontist and cannot imagine a more rewarding way to spend my days. Dr. Timothy Poppell

He remained at the University of Florida, completing his orthodontic residency, and then established Poppell Orthodontics in the Debary area.
A large part of Dr. Poppells success, and that of his patients, is a due to his ongoing pursuit of continuing education.

Often, people start orthodontic treatment feeling self-conscious about their appearance. They tend to be withdrawn, uncomfortable in social situations, and hide their teeth by ducking their head or covering their mouth.
As treatment progresses, our patient begins to change. We see them walk taller, making eye contact and willingly engaging with others. The best day for us is when we see our patient smile unselfconsciously, broadcasting confidence and comfort with who they are.
Following your exam, Dr. Poppell will create your treatment plan. He recommends an efficient, comfortable approach that will soon have you sharing your new smile. Well review the plan with you, explaining whats involved, all options, and encouraging your questions. Then its up to you: no pressure and no upselling, just accessible information.
