Susan Coffey, Instructor

Susan is a Registered Dental Assistant working with Dr. David Jackson as a chair-side orthodontic assistant in Farmersville and Royce City, Texas. In addition to working with Dr. Jackson in the dental office, she assists him in teaching his Straight Wire Series courses. After assisting in these courses, Susan and Dr. Jackson, decided it was time to offer an assistant's program. Dedicated to making new doctors to orthodontics successful, Susan understands the importance to have empowered assistants.

This is how The Empowered Ortho Assistant Program was born.  As a detail-oriented person, Susan is able to bring her knowledge and experience to empower orthodontics assistants on all levels.  She will motivate her students to go back into their offices and be able to support their doctors to make orthodontics successful.
