Changing Lives With The Gift Of Confidence
Apple Valley Orthodontics orthodontic treatment

Our team

Get To Know Us

Our team is committed to our core values and goes above and beyond to ensure our patients are cared for and feel like a part of our family.

Jose

Office Manager & Treatment Coordinator

I like the friendships that grow between the patients, their families, and me. I look forward to their visits as a time to see how their smile is progressing and hear the latest news. Witnessing the changes in a person’s self-esteem and watching their confidence grow never gets old. I love seeing the final, beautiful smiles, and each patient’s excitement.

I have a beautiful wife named Lissette. We have four kids, three daughters and one son. We spend most of our weekends at the soccer fields all over Southern California. If you see us, say hi! I also have a pack of beautiful show Rottweilers that keeps our daughters busy as well.

Amy

Clinical Manager

I love orthodontics! It has been a pleasure to be a part of Apple Valley Orthodontics for the past ten years. Our patients’ happiness is what matters most to each and every one of us. Every day, we get to help improve our patients’ smiles, help build confidence, and elevate their overall oral health. It is so rewarding to give these patients the smiles they want and deserve. Their smiles are my inspiration!

Being with my family and friends is my priority when I’m not working. I have two wonderful sons and a pet named Misty. I enjoy taking my kids to their sports activities and doing crafts, as well as spending time with my friends and family and traveling.

Amanda

Registered Dental Assistant

Hi! I graduated from San Joaquin Valley College dental assistant program and joined Apple Valley Ortho in 2021. I love working here! Everyone is so nice and Dr. Velez is an amazing orthodontist and person. I enjoy seeing our patients experience their smiles changing and them being so happy with their final smile.

On my days off, I like to hang out with my family, play video games, and watch movies.

Isaac

Registered Dental Assistant

I have been an ortho assistant for over 25 years and committed to providing excellent service and quality. I have a wonderful wife and two beautiful daughters. My hobbies are boating, BBQ’ing, kickboxing, and exercising. I attend the local church and give my life to the golden rule, treating others, as I would like to be treated. I look forward to serving and bringing a smile to your face.

Christal

Dental Assistant

I’m passionate about my job, helping people feel comfortable, cared for, and confident throughout their smile journey means the world! My goal is to create a welcoming environment and build genuine connections with each patient. I love being the reason someone gains confidence, it’s the most rewarding part of what I do! On my days off, I enjoy spending time with family, traveling, and being a dog mom! Which helps me recharge and stay inspired.

Derrick

Sterilization Tech

I have been with Apple Valley Orthodontics for a year and I love working with everyone. I keep our instruments spotless, safe, and ready for every patient. I always make sure our practice meets the highest standards for infection control. In my free time I enjoy riding bikes and quads.

Margarita

Records Technician

I love working with this team and sharing so many laughs. I have learned so much about ortho since working here and am excited to learn even more day by day. My favorite part is seeing all the smiles and giggles from our patients.

On my days off I love hanging out with family and friends. Some of my hobbies are working out, boxing, and listening to music. A fun fact about me is that I am going to school for sports management/film.

Aries

Customer Service Front Desk

Hello, My name is Aries, I love being a part of the Apple Valley Orthodontics team! Getting to experience how awesome it is to be able to meet new people, and welcome back familiar faces in our office has been so rewarding. The feeling of helping our patients feel confident, secure, and happy with their service here at Apple Valley Orthodontics is what motivates me to do my very best when it comes to delivering a friendly first experience for our patients. Seeing beautiful smiles being made is what I’d count as a job well done!

When it comes to after work and my days off, I enjoy spending time with my family, my cat Cleo, and catching up on my reading or watching Anime!

We had a wonderful consultation at Apple Valley Orthodontics for my son, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Bianca was fantastic — friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to explain everything thoroughly and made sure my son felt comfortable and involved in the process. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her patients and takes pride in what she does.

The office itself is clean, organized, and welcoming, which made the visit even more enjoyable. From start to finish, we felt respected, informed, and supported. I highly recommend Apple Valley Orthodontics, especially if you have the chance to work with Bianca!
