Alison
Orthodontic Assistant

I became the records technician/orthodontic assistant because I enjoy helping people feel great about their smiles! I walk you through your first appointment by taking detailed records on your case, then assist the doctors along the way.I feel my career is exciting and challenging because every day is a learning experience. I am continuously taking courses and attending seminars to maintain my orthodontic skills. The greatest part of my job is seeing the satisfaction on each patient's face when their treatment is completed- that's when I know that I've helped someone feel better about themselves.

Besides being an orthodontic assistant, I love outdoor activities, especially during the summer. I enjoy camping, soccer, coffee-drinking and spending time with family and friends.
