“I love being an orthodontist! Everyone deserves the self confidence that comes with a beautiful smile. I believe that people should enjoy the transformation of their smiles in a fun, positive, patient-focused environment. Through state-of-the-art technology and advances with time-tested, sound techniques to align jaws and straighten teeth, we're able to exceed our patients' expectations. For my patients, orthodontic treatment is much more than a smile.” – Dr. Rawlins
