Hi there! As an orthodontic assistant, I assist Dr. Crowder with placing braces and removing them. I am also responsible for adjustments, hygiene instruction, sterilization and lab work. My favorite part of the job is seeing patients gain confidence as they move through the process of having their teeth straightened. When I am not in the office, I enjoy painting, photography and surfing PInterest. I live in Ozark with my wonderful husband of 21 years, Chris, and our two children, Taylor and Connor. I love the end results of orthodontics and the confidence it gives our patients. Seeing their smiles when the braces come off is priceless!
