Why He Became an Orthodontist
Dr. Alkhoury’s first personal exposure started when he was very young and his older sister needed braces. As she went through each stage of treatment, he was able to see firsthand how her smile transformed for the better in every way. He noticed that she was more talkative, outgoing, and confident as a result of her treatment.
