DDS, MS
Hodge Orthodontics

I started Hodge Orthodontics with the goal of leveraging the latest orthodontic technology to better service the modern lifestyle. We offer custom treatment from the design of appliances to remote monitoring for fewer in-person office visits. Orthodontic treatment is such a right of passage to many. We make it more efficient and convenient.

PRESSING QUESTIONS

Best career moment so far

Leaving a job and starting my own office.

What keeps me coming back to my job every day

Watching my patients’ self confidence grow makes my day every day! My team also makes my days a lot of fun!

The one thing I wish people knew about my field

Early screenings are paramount to preventing complex treatments in the future. Every child should be screened by an orthodontist at age 7. Don’t wait until all baby teeth are gone.

How I knew this was my passion

Orthodontics is the perfect combination of science, art, aesthetics and service. It is a discipline that incorporates all of the things I am intrigued by and passionate about.
