Julia – Records Technician

I’ve worked at Bussick Orthodontics for four years and can honestly say that I have made forever friends. What I like most about my job is seeing new patients and watching the progression of their smile and ultimately the end result. They are always so happy with their smile. I have a husband of 24 years and two boys ages 22 and 21. Things that I enjoy are the outdoors, traveling, fitness, and entertaining friends and family.

Kelly – Clinical Assistant

I have been working here at Bussick Orthodontics since 2016, though I have worked in the orthodontic field for over 25 years.

I love being a boy mom to my sweet son Ryker and spending time outdoors fishing, kayaking, and gardening.

I’ve been working here since May of 2019, but have been in the dental field since 2015. I married my husband Carson in the fall of 2018 and we have since welcomed our son Dayne into the world. At the end of the day, we really just enjoy being with family and friends, and our sweet dog Echo.

Estefania – Clinical Assistant

I joined the Bussick Orthodontics team in April of 2021 and have enjoyed working and learning here! The best part about working here is seeing the joy of changed smiles in all of our patients.
