At Glass Orthodontics, our patients are more than just smiles – they’re part of the family. Behind every confident grin is a team that truly loves what they do. From treatment coordinators to orthodontic assistants, each member of our crew brings a unique personality, story, and passion to the practice. Get to know the friendly faces who make Glass Orthodontics such a special place to be:
Abbey – Orthodontic Assistant
Abbey joined Glass Orthodontics in 2019, but has been working in the dental field since 2003. She grew up in the heart of Great Bridge in Chesapeake, Virginia (the best part, according to her!). Abbey loves working under Dr. Glass, whom she calls the most understanding and caring boss. Every patient brings something different to the chair, and she enjoys making connections and learning each person’s story. Fun fact: she’s an animal lover and a proud dog mom to two fur babies. And weirdly enough, cheese is her least favorite food!
Ashley – Patient Coordinator
Ashley joined the front desk team at Glass Orthodontics in 2024, bringing warmth and a love for helping people to her new career in orthodontics. Originally from Portsmouth, Virginia, she now lives in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, and appreciates the supportive, family-like feel of the office. She loves how easygoing the patients are – and when she’s not at work, she’s enjoying life as part of an active-duty military family, spending sunny days with her kids at the beach, ball field, or racetrack.
Cadie – Orthodontic Assistant
Cadie began her orthodontic career journey in 2022 when she joined the team at Glass Orthodontics. Originally from Florida, she later moved to Lexington, North Carolina, and then to Moyock in 2020. She loves the tight-knit group of girls she works with and the fun relationships she builds with patients – especially sharing laughs (which, by the way, you can hear from a mile away)!
Caroline – Orthodontic Assistant
Caroline has been in the orthodontic field since 2016 and joined the Glass Orthodontics team in 2019. As a military kid, she moved around a lot but spent the most time in Chesapeake, Virginia. She loves working in a fun, positive environment and seeing the life-changing impact orthodontic treatment has on her patients’ confidence. When she’s not at work, Caroline is a proud boy mom of two – and she runs a cake pop side hustle that’s just as sweet as her personality!
Charlee – Orthodontic Assistant
Charlee began working in orthodontics in 2020 and joined Glass Orthodontics in 2023. She’s originally from Virginia Beach, Virginia, and now lives in Shawboro, North Carolina.

Kari – Treatment Coordinator
Kari brings decades of experience and insight to her role as Treatment Coordinator at Glass Orthodontics, where she’s been since 2021. Kari loves the reputation Glass Orthodontics has earned through word of mouth and how patients arrive with a sense of trust and excitement.

She also hits the gym regularly, loves roller coasters, and plans to skydive for the first time this summer!
Kelly – Orthodontic Assistant
Kelly has been in the orthodontic field since 1998 and brought her years of experience to Glass Orthodontics in 2023. Born and raised in Sarasota, Florida, she appreciates the close-knit, family-like atmosphere the team has created.

Sydney started with Glass Orthodontics in 2020. She’s from Chesapeake, Virginia, and has worked in treatment coordination and alongside Dr. Glass in various roles. Sydney loves the energy in the office, the strong sense of community, and how many of her kids’ friends (and their parents!) trust Glass Orthodontics for treatment. Patients feel like family here – and Sydney wouldn’t have it any other way. Outside the office, she’s a busy mom of three boys who loves to paint, tackle DIY projects, and spend time at the football and basketball courts.
