Dr. Seely loves to create beautiful smiles!

Dr. Seely doesn’t just align teeth, she treats to the face.  Using computerized simulations, airway analysis, TMJ analysis, facial photos, occlusal (bite) analysis, she can change profiles and create a smile that is placed correctly within the lips (Click here to see “Treated by another orthodontist and Unique Corrections”).

Designing Smiles with an Architect’s Eye

Dr. Seely has long been drawn to architecture and design. While she once considered a career in
architecture, she ultimately chose dental/orthodontics, a profession that allowed her to blend her love
for artistry, structure, and problem solving. She satisfied her passion for design by meticulously creating
her own home, down to the smallest detail, an now enjoys maintaining it-along with her detailed and
flourishing garden.

A Lifelong Passion for Precision

From a young age, Dr. Seely has always been passionate about working with her hands. She began as a
self-taught seamstress in sixth grade, a skill she carried through college-an early sign of her precision,
creativity and attention to detail. These qualities later helped her excel in dental and orthodontic school,
where she graduated at the top of her class and was the youngest in her cohort.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Seely is also an author. Her recently published Christian book, “Follow your
Shepherd and You Will Never Be Alone,” reflects her faith and desire to inspire others. She looks forward
in writing more books and hopes to find time to teach, sharing the unique mechanics and techniques
that contribute to the transformative results she achieves for her patients.
