✨ Meet the Staff ✨

Say hello to Sam! 🦷💙

Sam is one of our clinical assistants and works in all three of our offices — Columbia, Jefferson City, and Osage Beach! She will also be celebrating her one year with Twaddle Orthodontics this June! 🎉

Sam first started with us as a State Tech shadower while completing the dental assistant program at State Tech. It didn’t take long for us to realize she would be the perfect addition to our team with her quirky, outgoing personality and the way she connects with both patients and coworkers alike.

In her free time, Sam enjoys arts and crafts, all things Pokémon, and showing off her creative side. 🎨✨

Fun fact: Sam is still actively playing Clash of Clans and is currently on level 188 of Town Hall 14… and from what we hear, that’s pretty impressive! 😂📱

✨ Meet the Staff: Rachel ✨

Rachel just celebrated her 1 year anniversary with Twaddle Orthodontics as a clinical assistant! 🦷 You’ll often find her helping patients in our Jefferson City and Osage Beach offices, with the occasional visit to Columbia when needed.

In her free time, Rachel enjoys spending time with her family and fishing 🎣 She’s also known for always having a fun and creative nail design — you’ll definitely have to check them out at your next visit! 💅

Rachel is also currently going through orthodontic treatment with braces herself, so feel free to ask her for any braces tips and tricks along the way! 😁

Fun fact: Rachel is absolutely terrified of frogs 🐸😅

✨ Meet the Staff: Leanna ✨

Leanna joined Twaddle Orthodontics in 2024 as a clinical assistant and quickly hit the ground running thanks to her prior dental experience. You’ll often find her in the clinic at our Osage Beach and Jefferson City offices, and she also helps with new patient appointments—making sure every visit starts off smooth and comfortable.

Outside of work, Leanna loves spending time with her son, Tripp, and her family. She enjoys being out on the water, making memories at the lake, and spending time with her dogs. She’s also a big fan of hunting and anything that gets her outdoors.

Fun fact: Leanna still practices general dentistry in her off time 🦷
