Being an orthodontist enables me to watch my patients' self-confidence grow. As their smiles develop and their external appearance changes, the effect that has internally on their self esteem is beyond words. Providing this wonderful gift to a patient is, for me, the most important aspect of my job, and makes being an orthodontist worthwhile!
