Why Orthodontics
From an early age, I loved working with my hands and understanding how things work. My father was a professor of engineering, and my parents built our house by hand during my childhood. There was always a project underway, and I loved exploring, problem solving, and figuring out how to build things. I found deep satisfaction in working on small details and refining a project until it was just right. Over time, I realized that orthodontics brought together my love for fine details and working with my hands, while also giving me the chance to connect with people in a meaningful way. I love orthodontics, and I’m honored to be part of each patient’s journey.
