“Orthodontics is a profession where I can have a positive impact on my patients in many different ways. Straighter teeth and a better bite can have health benefits, but we also get to create more confidence and self-esteem. We can truly transform lives! I truly love my profession. I can not imagine another profession that would have given me so much joy. I am passionate about orthodontics and every day I strive to be better.”  – Dr. Valeriano, Your Orthodontist
