Meet The Team

Melanie serves as Treatment Coordinator at Okamoto Orthodontics, where she loves guiding patients through their journey and watching their confidence — and their smiles — transform along the way. She’s driven by curiosity and creativity in everything she does.

Outside the office, Melanie enjoys reading, cooking, baking, and getting outdoors for a good hike or walk. Thanksgiving is her favorite holiday, complete with a dinner party and homemade pumpkin pies, and she loves nothing more than a family vacation to unwind and explore somewhere new.

Tori joined the Okamoto Orthodontics team as an Orthodontic Assistant, bringing a genuine love for helping patients feel more confident in their smiles. She finds it especially rewarding to watch patients progress through treatment and to build real relationships with them along the way.

Outside of work, Tori is all about family time — she loves spending holidays and gatherings with her parents and brothers. She also enjoys playing video games, heading to music festivals, and making the most of every free moment with the people she loves. At home, she’s kept company by her cat Lucy, a three-year-old Maine Coon mix with a taste for puréed treats and a serious hobby of bird watching.

Samantha is a familiar, welcoming face at the Front Desk of Okamoto Orthodontics. As the first person patients interact with, she takes pride in making scheduling quick and easy and in getting to know patients throughout their treatment journey. She’s currently pursuing her RDA, with plans to continue on toward Dental Hygiene down the road.

When she’s not at the practice, Samantha loves hiking to waterfalls (and isn’t shy about jumping in!), staying active at the gym, and cooking up new recipes with friends. A former multi-sport athlete, soccer remains her favorite, and she treasures family cookouts and gatherings with her aunts, uncles, and cousins.
