Dr. Beth treats both children and adults and with each treatment comes different rewards. In college, her advanced level psychology courses were in developmental psychology and in orthodontics she gets to participate in her young patients' development. Dr. Beth plays an active role, not only in developing their face and smile, but she also influences the development of their self-esteem. It is her pleasure to experience these young people as they mature into young adults while in treatment. Working with adult patients allows her to help them create a healthy bite and beautiful smile that they love to show off, as well as cultivating a personal relationship during this process. In both cases, seeing each patient finish treatment with a beautiful smile, with a healthy bite and seeing the pride and confidence that their new smile provides is the ultimate reward.
