EMMA

Emma completed her Bachelor of Oral Health Therapy at Curtin University in 2014. Emma worked for oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr Brent Allan from 2014-2020, where she gained a particular interest in surgical orthodontics and orthognathic surgery.
Emma grew up in a small country town and has always loved the country lifestyle, so in 2020 Emma made the move to Albany to work with the amazing team at Albany Orthodontics conveniently including her older sister and mentor Kelsie, Dr Stewart’s other hygienist.

JACLYN
TREATMENT COORDINATOR
Jaclyn joined the team at Albany Orthodontics in 2018. As our treatment coordinator Jaclyn works closely with Dr Stewart to explain your treatment options, to answer any questions which you may have and to facilitate your treatment. She can also be found at the front desk or assisting in the clinic including clinical photography and digital scanning.
Jaclyn has worn clear aligners in the past so can explain that experience first-hand. She has an in-depth knowledge of all aspects of orthodontic treatment.
Outside of work Jaclyn is a regular blood donor and is a volunteer fire brigade member. She is also involved in the 10th Light Horse Albany Troop. Jaclyn graduated from Agricultural College with multiple accolades including the VET Beazley Medal and Agricultural Dux. At home on the farm she has two horses, a sweet chocolate border collie and a cheeky black cat.
KYLIE
ORTHODONTIC THERAPIST
Kylie has been working in orthodontics for over a decade. She loves working in a profession where she gets to see her patients regularly and is able to share in their journey as their smile transforms.
Kylie also has personal experience as an orthodontic patient as she had braces (in the ‘90s) and then recently had her smile ‘tweaked’ with aligners.
She is happy to say that orthodontics dramatically changed her smile and arguably her life. After braces she was known as ‘Smiley’ at high school (admittedly that was probably partly due to it rhyming nicely with ‘Kylie’) and she went on to become a dentist.
“I am proud of our team at Albany Orthodontics and I hope that you enjoy your time at our practice as much as I enjoy working here.”
