What Specialty Orthodontic Training Means for You

Orthodontists complete two to three additional years of specialty training beyond dental school, focused entirely on correcting the alignment of teeth, jaws, and facial structures. That focused training makes a measurable difference in how cases are evaluated, how treatment plans are built, and how results hold up over time. The American Association of Orthodontists notes that properly aligned teeth do more than improve a smile — they make it easier to clean teeth, reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease, and support healthy bite function for life.

Dr. McCullum’s training at the University of Louisville, where she served as class president during her residency and conducted research focused on reducing radiation exposure for patients, reflects the clinical rigor she brings to every treatment plan. She was inducted into Omicron Kappa Upsilon, Phi Kappa Phi, and the Delphi Society, and received the American Association of Orthodontists Award among several other honors. For New Washington families choosing where to go for orthodontic care, that record reflects a doctor who takes the standard of her work seriously.

A Doctor-Owned Practice With Genuine Local Roots

That continuity of care is a defining characteristic of the McCullum experience.

For New Washington families with children approaching that first evaluation, our pediatric orthodontic evaluation page covers what to expect, and the early intervention services page outlines the full range of interceptive treatments available for younger patients.

Empathetic Care for Every Patient

Dr. McCullum is a mother of a child with special needs and brings hands-on experience from working in combined pediatric dental and orthodontic settings.
