I love to make people smile! It is so cool to see the joy and self-confidence when a patient sees their new smile at the end of their treatment. I love the challenges of designing a treatment plan to efficiently move the teeth and then partnering with my patients to make their result stunning.
Orthodontics is not just straightening teeth to me; it is also about taking the time to really know each patient and truly caring about whats going on in their lives. Orthodontics is a great profession that stretches me to connect with patients. It challenges me to execute excellent orthodontic treatment and brings me great joy when, at the end of the day, I have done everything I can to make my patients smile. Dr. Schlicher
