Dr. Tivis’s journey with orthodontics is personal — he was once a patient and orthodontic assistant at the very practice where he now creates beautiful smiles. For nearly 8 years, he has been helping patients achieve confident, healthy smiles with the same compassionate care he once received. He is currently a remote care key opinion leader and was chosen to be a speaker for Invisalign. He was also chosen to be a speaker and educator for Smile Doctors, the largest orthodontic organization in the country. One of his favorite parts about his job is being able to use the most advanced technology, such as 3D printing, Invisalign® aligners, and remote care to help patients achieve their dream smiles.
