Kyu walked into our office with the idea of changing the way his teeth looked and ended up changing careers. Kyu worked in the building next door to our office in Sylvania as an engineer, so coming in for appointments was a breeze. As he came in for appointments, he talked extensively to Dr. Haerian about the mechanics and biophysics of orthodontic treatment. He was intrigued with the similar vocabulary engineering and orthodontics shared –torque, abutment, bridge, etc.
At the same time, he had been discussing careers with his cousin who had decided to pursue a medical field and was considering dentistry. Kyu came to the conclusion that he, too, would enjoy working hands on with people and that a degree in orthodontics would allow him to apply some of his engineering skills to patients instead of paper. Since then, he has been on the fast track to earning a degree in dentistry before pursuing a specialty in orthodontics. Dr. Haerian is pleased with Kyu’s smile, but he’s even more pleased to know that he inspired Kyu to follow his dream.
