‘‘I only recommend treatment that I would do for myself or my children.”

Why did Dr. Fodero choose orthodontics?

“I became interested in orthodontics in college. I’m artistic and love working with my hands, but I always had an aptitude for math and science. I wanted a career that would allow me to pursue my two passions — having the artistic license to work with my hands while having the challenge of problem solving. My medium is not typical of most artists — I work with teeth. I engineer moving them to make a beautiful smile that has a profound impact on someone’s self-confidence and overall dental health. It’s very rewarding.”

What’s the best part of being a Chatham orthodontist?

“The best part of my job is connecting with people. I enjoy forming a relationship with my patients, particularly young people because I get the privilege of seeing them change and grow. I also had orthodontic treatment, so I relate to the process and do my best to make it as pleasant as possible. Finally, I enjoy seeing the end results, of course!”
