Meet Dr. Sheila Birth
Orthodontics is my passion. I believe
it's one of the best professions in the world, and I am honored to know that
each day I am able to make a difference in someone's life. Every smile is
important to me, and I enjoy giving patients a beautiful smile that they
can live with for the rest of their lives. Seeing the changes
that my patients go through when they achieve a beautiful and functional smile
is the reason I became an orthodontist.
