THE TALENTED TEAM AT DR. SMILES
Meet Dr. Jacqueline Fulop-Goodling, D.M.D., P.C.
Dr. Jacqueline Fulop-Goodling, D.M.D., P.C., also known to her patients as Dr. Jacquie Smiles, started her career in orthodontics/dentistry at Boston University and, after graduation, became the first female and youngest Director of B.U.’s Predoctoral Orthodontic Department.
Dr. Jacquie Smiles is part of the Invisalign prestigious faculty department, which means she is among one of the most experienced Invisalign providers in the world, offering her patients the best quality of care. “Being a faculty member and brand ambassador for Invisalign was easy and fulfilling because I was able to discuss, teach, and have brainstorming sessions with doctors and students all over the U.S. & rest of the world. It’s something that comes naturally to me and therefore never consider it working,” she says.
The Rewards of a Life of Smiles
Dr. Jacquie’s most rewarding experience is one that she says she witnesses all the time when she removes a patient’s braces or finalizes their Invisalign orthodontic treatment. At the beginning of their treatment, when Dr. Jacquie evaluates a patient for the first time, she says that many patients don’t reveal their true self. Often they are covering their mouth and hiding their smile. Dr. Jacquie says, “The end of treatment is always the most rewarding when I witness how my patients sit up a little taller in my dental chair and become more confident, radiant and expressive. This feeling simply never gets old!” This moment is what Dr. Jacquie says is the most rewarding feeling.
