We not only want you to have a fabulous smile when youre finished with treatment, but we want you to have fun while youre here. Her patients, big and small, enjoy her natural ability to make them feel comfortable through the orthodontic process and help them quickly and easily achieve the smile of their dreams.

I LOVE my job. I love helping patients and families achieve their dream smile. People come to me with tooth puzzles to unravel and design with their specific needs in mind. The transformation of my patients as they gain confidence and a new outlook on life brings me so much joy. Seeing a persons inner self change to match the change on the outside is the best reward for a job well done.

I grew up in Chapinand attended Chapin High School. After graduating in 2003, I attended Wofford College where I graduated magna cum laude with a B.S. in biology, andearnedmembership in Phi Beta Kappa honor society. I received my Doctorate in Dental Medicine from the Medical University of South Carolina. There I was recognized with first graduate honors and selection to Omicron Kappa Upsilon, a dental honor society. Following dental school, I traveled to Chicago where I completed my orthodontic specialty residency and masters degree in oral science. My thesis focused on aspects of positive psychology and its link to orthodontic treatment in adolescents.

I am the oldest of four kids and the daughter of an elementary school teacher. Kids, big and small, have always been a part of my life. I am proud to be a part of an office that puts our patients oral health as the utmost priority. Every day, I work together with your dentist to provide a seamless approach to the health and function of their developing mouths. I look at each of my patients, young and old, as if they were my own family. I cant wait to meet you and see how Vincent & Bullwinkel Orthodontics can serve you and your family.

We had a wonderful initial consultation visit with Dr. Ply. The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and helped put our minds at ease for the orthodontic work we need to have done on our child. I highly recommend them!

Such a pleasant, happy environment! I never dreamed I'd wear Spark Aligners and have a great smile after hiding my teeth for so many [senior] years. Dr Ply, Dr Bullwinkel and staff are delightful. The entire office ROCKS!! I feel right at home there.

The BEST! I have lingual braces ( on the inside of my teeth) Dr. Bullwinkle is one of two orthodontists in the State of South Carolina to offer this service. I couldn't be happier with the results, the treatment I receive, the knowledge level of the staff, the cleanliness of the space, the respect with which Dr.Bullwinkle treats her staff and the friendliness of everyone there. I drive up from Bluffton and don't mind it one bit! I actually look forward to my appointments. If you are looking for the best orthodontist in the low country, take it from this retired hospital nurse, you have found her! Kit Burke
