Seeing a child or adult who wouldnt smile before treatment beaming with confidence once their new smile is completed is a great reward. Witnessing this boost in self-esteem and positivity is what energized me to keep up the hard work.
From little kids who are teased or bullied about their smile, to adults who are ashamed to show their teeth socially and professionally, getting to see the transformations that happen as their beautiful, healthy smile develops, is why I look forward to coming to work each morning.
The Windy City Orthodontics team attends many hours of dental and orthodontic education every year. They study topics from orthodontic mechanics and appliances to advances in diagnostic and development, as well as practice management.
I grew up in the northern suburbs of Chicago and now call the Windy City my home. I share my life with a little black mixed-breed rescue dog, Cinder. Like many rescues, she has issues were working through, and strive to give her security, attention, reassurance, and love.
