About Us

Inspiring and creating confident smiles for over 50 years.

Our core values

1. Family

No one is a chart on the wall. When you come into our office, we want you to know you are appreciated, and we will never recommend anything we wouldn’t recommend to our own family members.

2. Journey mindset

Orthodontic treatment takes time, and we want you to know we are with you the entire way. If you have questions or get nervous at any point during the process, we have your back.

3. Efficiency

We understand your time is priceless. That’s why we ensure appointments are appropriately scheduled so you spend the majority of your time with our team, not our waiting room.

Fun Facts

  • What is your favorite TV show? My favorite TV show is NCIS. Of course, I LOVE the “Gibbs” episodes the best (who doesn’t?!) The jury is still out on the “Parker” replacement. I may have to find a new show!
  • Your ortho story: I had orthodontic treatment in the 80’s as a 13-year-old and finished when I was 17. At my final retainer check appointment, I spoke to the office manager about the possibility of an internship during my senior year at the office. I essentially was “hired” on the spot and with the exception of a 5-month break to “try out” college; I am still here today!

  • Your ortho story: I had braces when I first started working at OSS in my 20’s. Over time I stopped wearing my upper retainer and my teeth shifted. I got to a point in my late 40’s that I would not smile showing my teeth. My teammate, Talisha, and I decided that we would do ortho together! I am so glad that I did; I love my smile now!

  • Your ortho story: I had orthodontic treatment when I was 11-12 years old but as an adult, I was not happy with my smile. So, I decided to get orthodontic treatment again in my 50’s. I cannot tell you how happy I am with my smile, how my bite feels and that I made the decision to have treatment again. I was a much better patient when I was younger than I was in my 50’s, but my co-workers were so patient, kind and gentle during my appointments.

American Board of Orthodontics Certified

All orthodontists must be licensed to practice; however, board certification is a voluntary achievement that not all orthodontists choose to pursue. In order to become board certified by the ABO, an individual orthodontist is thoroughly interviewed by a highly respected panel of examiners to demonstrate his or her orthodontic knowledge, clinical skills, and judgment.

The ABO certification process signifies a unique achievement: a significant step beyond the two to three years of advanced education required for a dentist to become a specialist in orthodontics. The process requires the orthodontist to demonstrate actual accomplishments in patient care with detailed case reports on the treatment provided for a broad range of patient problems.
