He was taught under the direction of Dr. James L. Vaden who was the past president of the American Association of Orthodontics. He also fi nished his thesis, one of the six pieces of work he has had published, and has also presented research at eight different locations nationwide.

Dr. Williams obtained his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Washington and taught orthodontics at the University of Tennessee dental school for three years. Before receiving his degree in orthodontics, he worked in his own Dr. Williams and family practice as a general dentist with his wife working as his assistant to provide for his family of fi ve during school. He learned to have great respect for the hard and sometimes stressful work general dentists do daily.

Dr. Williams comes from a dental family. Four out of eight siblings work in the dental fi eld and his father also is a general dentist. Dr. Williams himself has been working in dentistry since the young age of sixteen.

Dr. Williams chose to specialize in orthodontics because...as he would say, “It is FUN, and improving peoples smiles is rewarding. I enjoy working with kids and their families.” He has been an orthodontist for 7 years.

Dr. Williams enjoys spending time with his family. He also enjoys water and snow skiing along with camping. Dr. Williams fi nds it rewarding to help out in his community with service work. “Nothing is more rewarding than helping others,” Williams said. He cur- rently volunteers as a Scout master and basketball coach. Neighbors often comment that Dr. Williams is down-to-earth — he runs a backhoe, shovels dirt and is often found doing hard work.

Dr. Williams is happily married and has three handsome boys and just recently adopted a daughter from Russia. His family loves being here in Twin Falls and enjoys giving back to the community.
