Taking x-rays, photos, iTero scans, and impressions

Educating patients and parents on home care and orthodontic guidance

Keeping operatories clean, organized, and fully prepped

Maintaining sterilization protocols and digital charting

Pitching in wherever needed to ensure the day flows smoothly for patients and staff
