Hi, I’m Dr. Joy 👋
I’m an orthodontist who believes braces and aligners shouldn’t be boring - and good habits deserve rewards.
I help my patients build confident smiles by coaching them through the process, celebrating the wins, and keeping things positive along the way. Showing up, wearing your aligners, and taking care of your braces matters - and I’m here to cheer you on when you do it right.
Think of me as your smile coach. I’ll handle the science and strategy. You focus on the effort. Together, we’ll get you to a smile you’re proud of 😄
