Newby, DDS and his longtime orthodontic assistant Kay Kissick and grandson Braeden Dugan. Dr. Newby and Kay have worked together for 37 years. General dentists who practice orthodontics have been told that in order to be successful, you must have a great assistant. Kay is certainly that and more --she is clinically proficient, a super wire bender, organized and caring of our patients. Braeden is currently undergoing NPE and mandibular lip bumper therapy. His peer group represents the third generation of orthodontic patients that Dr. Newby has treated. He is thankful for the teaching and guidance of the many excellent AOS instructors that have helped him to become a good multidisciplinary dentist. It is true: learning orthodontics, particularly diagnosis, helps the practitioner to become more proficient in all areas of dentistry.
