Orthodontics gives me the opportunity to provide patients with a better smile, and in most cases, the chance to improve the function of their teeth. I have gotten to know some wonderfully unique people, from our great patients to our awesome staff. Working with different individuals helps me to stay focused and enthusiastic because are all working to achieve a common goal:great smiles and good bites!
I attended the United States Air Force Academy and Rhodes College for my undergraduate education. I continued on to the University of Louisville for dental school, andearnedmy Doctorate of Dental Medicine in 2003. My orthodontic residency and Master of Science were also obtained at the University of Louisville.
Continuing education plays a vital role in providing my patients with the newest and most effective orthodontic treatments. I attend the annual American Association of Orthodontists conference for continuing education to learn about the most recent advances in my field. I am also currently Invisalign certified.
I was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio and completed my undergraduate studies at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Icompleted my dental training at the University of Louisville, where I met Dr. Gilbertand earned my Doctorate of Dental Medicinewith honors.
I also completed my residency training at the University of Louisville, where I earned a certificate in orthodontics and a masters degree in oral biology. After residency training, I practiced in San Diego,where I met my wifeJacquelyn.
My approach to orthodontics applies the latest technologies, including clear aligners (Invisalign), mini-screw implants, self-ligating braces, and soft-tissue lasers. Orthodontics has seen some major breakthroughs in the last ten years, and Im very passionate about staying on the leading edge of treatment technique, technology, and patient care. I regularly attend the AAO annual meetings, as well asother seminars, and work closely with a network of orthodontists to share ideas and best practices.
I truly want our patients to have fun during the process and be proud of the dynamic smiles that we create together. What inspires me most about this great profession is seeing the lasting, positive impact that a great smile can have on kids and adults alike.
When Im not at the office, Ispendtime with my wifeJacquelynand our two boys, Austin and Bennett. Although we find ourselves at home more these days, we are adventure seekers at heart. We love to travel and try out new activities,from white water rafting and zip lining to racing in half marathons and paddle boarding at the beach. As for less adventurous activities, I enjoy running, cycling, and playing golf.
The team at Smiles Forever Orthodontics has more than 230 years of combined dental and orthodontic experience, and many of our staff members have been with this practice for more than ten years. After many years of cultivating a team-oriented environment, one principle has become clear:You are the most important member of our team!
We are committed to providing the highest quality of clinical care and personalized service in a warm and compassionate atmosphere. Our doctors and staff enjoy getting to know each patient and thefamily, and love creating relationships that last multiple generations.

I'm a dental assistant and refer patients to Dr Wells and Dr Gilbert all the time. But most importantly, they treat my own daughter. She hasn't had a straight forward case, but Smiles Forever has done a great job helping my daughter through it. Great place for braces!!

Fabulous place for all your orthodontic needs! They have walked us through all the steps for getting my daughter's braces on. They take their time and all the technicians are super sweet, patient, and kind. My daughter is looking forward to a perfect forever smile. They are quick to fit you in for emergencies too. Ms. Rachel is our favorite! Highly recommended!
