After 21 years there have been so many wonderful moments, you start to take them for granted. Almost everyday someone comes into our lives at the office that impacts us in a fantastic way. From a young woman with Cerebral Palsy that just can’t wait to have her teeth straightened and the smile it brings to her face not only when she gets her braces on but the delight in seeing her beautiful smile when we are finished. The joy a 9 year old has when they overcome their fear of having their braces or expanders placed and when they are finished with their appointment.
When our adult patients that have been waiting 20 years to “get there teeth fixed” and they finish after having gone through jaw surgery and braces, they are as excited as a child on Christmas Day.
I get asked frequently if I treat adults. I always respond of course we do and it really makes our jobs that much more interesting. Not only do we have the opportunity to interact with people other than teenagers, Adults present a whole new set of challenges as an orthodontist, these are the types of daily interactions that, even after 21 years make going to work fun!
I love it when patients that I treated 10 years ago come back in as adults and I get to see what they have become as they grow up, and begin working, getting married or having their own families!
