in this issue: on the cover 28 Office Visit: Dr. Emily Howell We visit the Georgia practice of 2020 TCA cover winner Dr. Emily Howell, whose name was chosen at random from all the orthodontists who completed their ballot in the 2020 Townie Choice Awards. This orthodontist-and former Miss Georgia!-built her practice from scratch and has more than 500 active patients. She discusses how her business degree gave her an upper hand in managing her practice, the importance of giving back to her community and how her pageant experience continues to inspire her to be a positive role model to her patients.
