Welcome to Silcox Orthodontics! Choosing a doctor can be tricky because we all want the very best result for ourselves and those we care about. I would like to tell you about myself and my training so you can feel confident that you are receiving the very best orthodontic treatment.
I graduated Magna Cum Laud from Brigham Young University and was the Senior Student of the Year in my college. I attended dental school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill which is consistently ranked one of the top 5 dental schools in the country and graduated in the top 5%of my dental school class. While in dental school I fell in love with the orthodontic profession and was accepted into UNC’s prestigious three-year orthodontic residency program. I studied under the best of the best, even William Proffit, the father of modern orthodontics. In 2007 I received my Master’s degree in Orthodontics and Oral Biology at UNC. After my residency, I taught in the UNC Orthodontic department as adjunct faculty. I enjoyed my years of training, but the most rewarding part of my career has been taking that knowledge and transforming people’s smiles and the way they feel about themselves.
Outside of the office I enjoy water and snow skiing and riding my bike–road or mountain it doesn’t matter. I’m a die-hard Carolina fan and root for my Tar Heels any chance I get. (Don’t mention the 2016 NCAA National Championship game or I might cry.) I owe a great deal to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and am a huge supporter and advocate. Read more about my family’s journey as well as how you can support LLS. From weekend hikes to days on the slopes, I love to enjoy the beauty of this amazing state with my family.
I hope to see you soon! And remember, smile, life is good!
