THE BRACE PLACE TEAM

Cindy -- Treatment Coordinator
At your initial appointment in our office, I will be visiting with you about your orthodontic concerns, assisting the doctors in gathering information, and explaining your treatment and payment options.

I joined The Brace Place team in 1999, and have been so grateful to work in such a happy and fun environment. I am married to my high school sweetheart, have 2 grown sons, and enjoy all the outdoor activities Montana has to offer.

Sonya -- Scheduling Coordinator
As our scheduling coordinator you will usually find me at the front desk helping you check in at each appointment, guiding you to the treatment area, and scheduling your subsequent visits.

I have been a member of the Brace Place team since 2010. I am married with 2 active teenagers at home. I look forward to meeting you soon!

Robin -- Financial Coordinator
As our financial coordinator I am available to help you understand financial arrangement options and pick the best option for you. I will also help you understand your insurance benefits and accept your payments throughout treatment.

Traci -- Financial/Adminsitrative Assistant
As an administrative assistant, you can find me doing a wide variety of things. Anything from scheduling your appointments, to preparing your chart with x-rays and photos, and even checking your insurance benefits. These are just a few of the many things I do throughout my busy day.

I was born and raised in Polson and moved to Kalispell in 2004. My husband and I have one beautiful daughter who makes our hearts unbelievably happy. When I 'm not at work you can find me at the lake with my family.

Chris -- Clinical Assistant
My responsibilities in our office include assisting the doctors with adjustments, placement of braces, and all other aspects of clinical work throughout each patient’s orthodontic care.

I started working at The Brace Place in 2006, however prior to that I was a patient of Dr. Mason’s! Starting at age 7 with phase one orthodontia, and moving into full treatment in my teenage years, I have experienced almost all of the procedures our patients experience at one time or another. My personal experience as a former patient gives me a great appreciation for what I do at our office, and it is exciting for me to be able to encourage patients to take good care of their braces, and seeing the beautiful smiles when they are finished with treatment.

I have two teenage daughters, whom are also patients in our office. I enjoy playing guitar, shopping, cooking, arts and crafts, decorating, and being creative.

Amber -- Clinical Assistant
I assist our doctors in implementing our patient's individualized treatment plans. This includes the gathering of diagnostic information, preparation in bonding braces, monthly adjustments, care instructions and additional clinical work.

I joined The Brace Place in 2012 as an Orthodontic Assistant. I have thoroughly enjoyed learning all aspects of orthodontic care and sincerely love my job. I delight in seeing the positive and transformational changes orthodontics brings to the lives of others and am proud to be part of the process!

I was born in Missoula, MT and moved to the Flathead valley in August of 2000 after marrying my husband. We have since had 5 joyful, expressive and charming children. I appreciate time spent with my family, friends, church and playing outdoors. I also enjoy making art, crafting, music, repurposing and doing home improvements.

Anja -- Clinical Assistant
As a clinical assistant you will see me throughout your treatment helping make adjustments to your braces and giving you helpful tips on keeping your braces clean and making your teeth move better and faster.

I am a mother of a little girl. During my free time I like to cook, go for drives, and spend time with my family. I have lived most of my life in Montana and spent a few years in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Ann -- Laboratory Technician/Clinical Assistant
As the lab technician I will help with your x-rays and pictures, help take impressions of your teeth, make sure all of the tools we use are nice and clean and help make your final retainers.

My family has lived in the Flathead Valley since 2006. As I home-schooled my 3 children, I was very active in the home-school community. We all enjoy many outdoor activities including boating, hiking, snowmobiling and skiing. Two of my children and myself were patients of Dr. Mason over the past 10 years, so when I had a chance to join Dr. Mason's team I was excited to jump into the fun environment of the office and be a part of The Brace Place Team.
