About Us

Meet Dr. Brown.

Bio

My journey to becoming an orthodontist started when I got braces in third grade! I was convinced at a young age that I wanted to be an orthodontist someday because I had such a positive experience during my own orthodontic treatment. It is now my hope that I impact my patients in such a way that they leave our office feeling inspired and confident in their future and their smiles! I absolutely love what I do and I am excited to share it with you!

Outside of my practice, I love spending quality time with my family and friends. I love the outdoors and I especially enjoy taking long walks, hiking, and going on “adventures” with my husband and kids! I have truly seen the goodness of God in my life, and I hope to share that goodness with all those who step foot in my practice.
