Meet our friendly support team

My background in Human Resources has equipped me with strong communication skills and a keen eye for detail, which I apply daily to ensure smooth and efficient operations. With a friendly and organized approach, I am committed to providing a comfortable and seamless experience for each patient.

Having a straighter, brighter, and more confident smile is greatly desired and beneficial in many ways. Jessica enjoys being a part of each patient’s journey of what orthodontic treatment can do to enhance their beautiful smiles.

You will see Jessica sharing her proficiency between the front office and treatment consulting; she will do her best to assist you to make sure your experience at Modern Orthodontics is a pleasant one.

Outside of work, Jess enjoys spending her time outdoors and she loves her animals, having her own little hobby farm.

As a certified dental assistant, you’ll see me working alongside our Specialist Orthodontists, Oral Hygienists, and Therapists to ensure your treatment is as smooth and comfortable every step of the way so that by the end of your journey you leave us with the perfect smile you deserve!

It’s been great to be able to assist at Modern Orthodontics - especially during 2020 - because caring for our patients’ overall well-being (and not only their teeth) is more important now than ever before.

Also, it keeps me on my feet, which is what I need. Otherwise I’d be in bed all day eating and watching my beloved Netflix!

In late 2020, Judy joined us, working as a dental assistant and technician at Modern Orthodontics. She’s worked with us for more than three years now.

She enjoys working in the orthodontics industry, aiming to provide care and good service to patients. As well as helping patients to achieve and maintain a perfect smile by manufacturing in-house aligners and retainers.

Judy speaks Cantonese, Mandarin and English. If you need help with any translation, she’d be happy to be your interpreter :)

Hey there! My name is Maria Nguyen. I was born and raised in Vietnam, and I'm very grateful to join the team at Modern Orthodontics as a new member. My background is in medicinal chemistry, and I have a strong passion for working in the medical field, particularly in dentistry.

In 2024, I earned a Certificate III in Dental Assisting. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to work in general dentistry, oral medicine specialties, and orthodontics. I’m deeply interested in this field and always excited to learn and explore new things.

In my free time, I enjoy exercising, listening to music, and playing musical instruments as a way to relax and recharge. Improving my language skills is also a top priority for me, alongside my other hobbies.
