Why did you become a orthodontist?
From a young age, I have always been a very artistic person. I have enjoyed drawing, painting, and even excelling in music being proficient in playing multiple instruments. I also did very well academically in school and my favorite courses were the sciences. I was drawn to dentistry because of the intimate connection it had to both the arts & the sciences. When i was a teenager, access to orthodontic treatment that my family could afford was not available to us. Once I started dental school I immediately took out extra student loan money to begin treatment since I could get it at a discount being a dental student. It was during that time when I was learning about dentistry, while seeing the changes my own orthodontic treatment was having on my bite, smile and aesthetics that I truly realized that I wanted to be able to bestow that transformation onto other people.
