Cheryl
Clinical Coordinator
Hello, my name is Cheryl, and I'm a clinical assistant for Drs. Lee and Katie Graber. I've been with Graber Orthodontics since 1986. Working at Graber Orthodontics has given me an opportunity to keep up with all the researched & proven changes in new technologies for Orthodontics. My favorite procedure in Orthodontic assisting is the indirect placement of braces which results in an ideal placement for the patient with less chair time, more precision, and more comfort for them. I also love reviewing the cases for our informed consent books for orthodontic treatment. These are presented to the patients at their consultation and reviews information regarding their case. My patients are great because most of them are excited about getting a beautiful smile. Now that our office provides the latest in new Suresmile robotic wire bending technology, our patients will get to that point in less treatment time with more precision and comfort.

Mallory
Marketing Associate
Hello, my name is Mallory, and I’m the Administrative Coordinator/Marketing Associate for Drs. Lee and Katie Graber. I’ve been with Graber Orthodontics since 2010, and my favorite thing about the practice is its family atmosphere. Many of our patients start orthodontia at a young age and getting to see them grow and establish themselves throughout the years is truly a remarkable experience. As a newer team member, I really enjoy building those relationships and, through marketing, getting to recruit new family members! A respectable aspect of Graber Orthodontics is the fact that Drs. Lee and Katie make sure to speak to the patients, as well as the parents, after each and every appointment to insure that everyone is informed and on the same page.
