By joining our clinical squad, you will get to work alongside and learn from a truly elite group of board-certified orthodontic specialists:

• Dr. David R. Datwyler: A UCSF Dental and Oregon Health Sciences residency graduate who spent ten years in architecture before bringing his sharp eye for precision, design, and human connection into orthodontics.

• Dr. Andrey Gaiduchik: An ABO Board-Certified specialist with advanced expertise in cutting-edge adult maxillary skeletal expansion (MARPE and MSE techniques), blending technology with highly customized care.
• Dr. Aimee Zakaluzny: An ABO Board-Certified diplomate with nearly a decade of military service as a US Air Force General Dentist and Orthodontist, who has mentored residents worldwide and treats patients with structural excellence.
• Dr. Steven H. Scott: A University of Michigan Orthodontics and UCLA dental graduate bringing over 28 years of master-level expertise, focusing on perfect occlusion, structural function, and confidence.

• Orthodontic Chairside Assisting: Provide high-quality chairside support to our doctors during routine wire adjustments, bondings, debondings, and specialized appliance placements (like MARPE/MSE).
• Patient Engagement: Welcome patients into our family-focused office, track their excitement as their smiles improve, and provide clear oral hygiene and care education.
• Clinical Operations: Accurately take orthodontic diagnostic records (photos, digital scans, or X-rays), sterilize specialized instruments, and maintain a pristine, efficient chairside bay.
• Team Synergy: Actively collaborate with frontline and clinical teammates to keep our fast-paced daily scheduling running like clockwork.

What We're Looking For (Qualifications)
