Meet The A-Team


Tracy
Practice Administrator
I started my career in dentistry 25 years ago as a certified dental assistant. After 15 years, I transitioned to being a treatment coordinator and then management. I enjoy helping patients with all aspects of their treatment and am looking forward to helping you and your family with your orthodontic treatment needs.
I live in Cary with my husband and our 2 miniature dachshunds.


Jenna
Lead Orthodontic Assistant
I was born and raised in a small town in Texas. Since 2004, North Carolina has been my home. I have had the privilege of working in Orthodontics for over 10 years, and I can confidently say that it is my passion. When a patient loves their smile, I feel very fortunate to have been a part in that process.
In my spare time, you can find me with my friends and family at breweries, playing games, and loving my fur baby, Mowgli!


Gail
Orthodontic Chairside Assistant
I am originally from Buxton, Maine. I relocated to Raleigh in July of 2024. In my free time I like spending time with my dog Quinn, family, and friends. I’ve always had a passion for dentistry and helping people. I have been a dental assistant since 2018. I recently went back to school to further my education and graduated from an expanded functions dental auxiliary program in 2023. I am excited to grow my knowledge even further here at Altherr Orthodontics as an orthodontic assistant.


Amanda
Orthodontic Chairside Assistant
I was born and raised in Raleigh, NC. I attended two years of dental assisting school and started in Orthodontics, in 2016. I have been doing it ever since. I love getting to know all of our patients, and watching their smiles transform. It’s amazing to watch how what we do increases our patients’ confidence and improves their smiles.
Outside of work, I love to spend time with my husband and hanging out with family and friends.


Esme
Orthodontic Chairside Assistant
I was born and from the tidewater region of Virginia and moved to North Carolina after my husband took a new posting with the Navy in the summer of 2024. I myself served as well. I have been in orthodontics now for over 4 years and have thoroughly enjoyed it, especially working with my hands. I love to see the difference we make with a patient's confidence.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family (husband and a two year old) and friends.


Karen
Scheduling Coordinator
I moved to North Carolina from California over 18 years ago. I have worked in all the different fields of dentistry over the past 6 years.
I look forward to seeing and speaking with all of our patients here at Altherr Orthodontics. After work, I like to watch my daughter at her swim meets or spending time with my adult sons. If not with my kids, I love to be out adventuring, drawing and gaming.
