Cynthia
Registered Dental Assistant
Being an orthodontic assistant is truly fulfilling as I have the opportunity to play a role in a significant chapter of a patient’s life. Witnessing their smile undergo a successful transformation is exhilarating; it’s akin to watching a flower bloom!
My journey in the dental field began with my enrollment in the Dental Assisting Program at Carrington College in July 2015, culminating in graduation in May 2016. My responsibilities involve providing comfort care and assisting with orthodontic treatments to align teeth, and seeing my patients’ transformations unfold is incredibly rewarding.
Our team comprises some of the most compassionate and enjoyable individuals I’ve ever encountered. We share a deep appreciation and respect for one another and have a great rapport with our patients. Through our collaborative efforts, we foster a sense of unity that makes dental appointments positive and enriching experiences for our patients.

Orthodontic Assistant
I love my job as an orthodontic assistant at Markham Orthodontics because I get to welcome each new patient to their orthodontic journey. My goal is to be the best part of their day, guiding them through each step with care and compassion. It’s incredibly rewarding to witness the joy on patients’ faces when they see their transformed smiles at the end of their treatment.
During the pandemic quarantine, I picked up a new hobby of working out at home, which not only kept me physically active but also allowed me to spend quality time with my family and friends. As the youngest of four sisters, family has always been a significant part of my life.
One of my greatest passions is traveling, and I dream of exploring destinations like Egypt and Tokyo someday. The opportunity to immerse myself in different cultures and experiences excites me, and I look forward to fulfilling this dream in the future.
