After 10 years in private practice in the San Francisco Bay Area, I created StraightSmile Solutions® as an orthodontic consulting company that directly services primary care dentists and their unique needs. I can consult on any orthodontic service, process, vendor, or procedure but ultimately my core values are airway focused (AirwayDontics™), non-extraction, non-surgical, early orthodontic treatment (My Phase 1 Smile™). I met my husband, a general dentist, in dental school at UCSF. When he inquired about adding ortho to his menu of services, he asked which course he should take. I took a deep dive, and I was appalled by the lack of quality, airway focused, holistic, comprehensive orthodontic education for General and Pediatric Dentists. I’ve always loved to teach, and I thought I could help save lives and airways by not only teaching primary-care, oral physicians how to do ortho the RIGHT way but also make the process efficient and productive. On a personal note, I live in Honolulu, and I love spending time with my husband and my teenage kids and volunteering as a Senior Girl Scout® Leader and for USA Swimming® as a N3 Stroke and Turn Judge. I appreciate your support with my small business as I love the flexibility of orthodontic coaching because it allows me to travel with my kids who are both nationally ranked, competitive swimmers. My eighteen-year-old son, Evan, is aiming for 2028 Olympic Trials and currently going through Division 1 recruiting and his fifteen-year -old sister, Olivia, ins’t too far behind him . You make this dream possible for our ohana. Mahalo!
