You will probably always see a picture of her hanging at my unit in our offices. We love taking walks and going to her daddy's volleyball and fast-pitch softball games.

JAMI
Hi! My name is Jami. I've worked as an orthodontic assistant at Crowe and McGuire Orthodontics since June, 2004; however, I've been an assistant since 1999. I have successfully passed my National Certified Orthodontic Assisting exam, my Expanded Functions Dental exam, and the Basic Skills Dentistry exam. I married my high school sweetheart, Steven, in July 2000. We have been blessed with two beautiful girls, Emily, 7; and Lauren, 3. They keep us very busy with gymnastics, dance, and softball throughout the year and we are loving every minute of it. I have been especially busy these last couple of years with going back to college to finish my bachelor's degree in Health Science and will be applying to the Dental Hygiene Program in the year 2012, in the hopes of becoming a dental hygienist. I have been very blessed with the support of my family at home and with my family at work, which is exactly how I think of them. I have several hobbies when I am not busy with my kids, school or work, which are reading, star gazing with my telescope, taking walks, and watching movies. Even though my road as an orthodontic assistant will be coming to an end and a new one will begin as a dental hygienist, I will always consider Crowe and McGuire my home and I think once you visit out office, you'll feel the same way! Hope to see you soon!

My name is Brittany Wagner. I moved to the Southeast Missouri area 2 1/2 yearsa ago from Chicago. I decided to move right after I graduated from high school to be closer to my family. I spent one year studying general courses at Three Rivers College. After realizing that dentistry was the field I wanted for my life-long career, I decided to take a dental assisting evening class in Cape. I have never been happier with a decision in my life. My wonderful instructor led me to McGuire Orthodontics, which has given me the oppportunity to work in an environment I am passionate about. Not only do I get to work one on one with our patients, but I am privileged to work with an amazing group of people. I love the fact that I assist in creating beautiful smiles everyday. When I am not in the office, you can catch me caught up in a good movie or book. I enjoy spending quality time with family and friends as well. In the future I plan to stay with McGuire Orthodontics, get married, and become a mother. I have leared that every dream can become a reality if you work for it. I can honestly say that I am living my dream everyday.

I have had the privilege of seeing many smiling faces throughout my career in the Orthodontic field. I have watched our patients come in as timid children with crooked little smiles grow out of their shell into amazing adults with "of course" BEAUTIFUL SMILES! I am also a full time student at Three Rivers College. Very soon I will have my Associate of Arts degree in Business Administration, and then I will move on to my bachelors. In my down time, along with my husband and our children, we enjoy watching movies together and just catching up on what has happened in the past week. Friday night movie night is a tradition we look forward to each week.
