Shelby – Director of Operations

As the Director of Operations, I run the website, create content for our social media channels, coordinate our advertising and community involvement, and identify and promote what makes Omaha Orthodontics unique as an orthodontic office. I love what I do because I am able to interact with the patients as well as the entire staff to help create a fun atmosphere in our office.

Alexa – Clinical Assistant

As a Clinical Assistant at Omaha Orthodontics, I’m happy to be part of a team that enjoys sharing a fun, positive, caring atmosphere day after day. My favorite part of each day is seeing the amazing transformations in our patient’s teeth throughout their treatment. I believe you’re not fully dressed without a beautiful, proud smile so it’s rewarding to take part in helping make our patient's smiles their best accessory. My interest in working in the dental field began when I was younger, as I was experiencing changes in my smile from oral surgeries and braces. While I grew more confident in myself after my treatment, I was inspired to have a helping hand in others reaching their perfect smile, so they can gain that boost of confidence, too.

I’m from the small town of Cedar Bluffs, Nebraska, where I kept busy playing sports year-round including volleyball, basketball, and track. In my free time, I like heading back home to spend time with my wonderful friends and family, doing crafty DIY projects, or anything that involves traveling, outdoor activities, and country music concerts.
