Meet Our Orthodontic Team

Cristy Arent – Office Manager

Hello, I'm Cristy and I have been with the office since 1993. I do a little bit of everything around the office, from financials to scheduling, accounts payable and receivables to helping in the operatory when needed. The best part about working in orthodontics is seeing the patients leave with a huge smile on their face. Nothing makes you feel better than seeing patients happy with what we did. I love getting to know our patients and parents and I take a real interest in what is going on in their lives.

I am originally from Waverly and now reside in Lincoln with my husband, Craig, two children, Paul and Lexi, and two Brittany Spaniels. I enjoy spending time with my family and watching my children play sports. I am active in fundraising for both my church and my children's schools.

Nancy Berner – Assistant and Lab Tech

Hi, I'm Nancy. I've been with this practice for over 30 years, can you believe it? I love working in the orthodontic field, it's so great to know that I am helping people improve their smiles and their self-esteem. Our practice is a wonderful place to be. Our patients are treated to a stress free environment where they are able to relax and enjoy their time spent with us. Our patients are the best! We love having fun, and making sure that each patient and family member enjoys their time spent at our practice.

I am originally from St. Paul and have lived in Aurora since 1996. My husband, Gary, and I have three children, Scott, Todd, and Stacie, and we are the proud grandparents of four beautiful grandchildren, Caleb, Quin, Kaden and Easton. When I am away from the practice, I enjoy spending as much as possible with my grandchildren. I am involved in my church and often volunteer for different congregation benefits. I look forward to meeting you!
