Meet Dr. Dickens

Meet Dr. DickensDr. Dickens first got a passion for orthodontics in 1996 while working as a researcher for the UNC Orthodontic Department.

"While at UNC, I had great experiences to see firsthand how life changing it can be to help someone smile. I feel very lucky to be in a profession that helps kids and adults feel better about themselves. I especially love seeing people who have just gotten their braces off smile in the mirror and take pride in how good they look."
