“I enjoy my work as an orthodontist and don’t view leaving for work in the morning as a chore, but rather another day of talking to and meeting many interesting people, while helping them obtain the smile they desire. It is a gratifying experience to see someone’s self-esteem and happiness improve with a better smile.”
