Hi my name is Peni and I’m a Georgia/Atlanta native. My career in Orthodontics spans 40 years, receiving an Associate’s Degree in Dental Lab/Business. My first job was with an established Lab in Atlanta, then a start up Orthodontic Lab that is now one of the largest Orthodontic Labs in the nation, located in Cumming, Ga. I became curious how the appliances I was fabricating worked and decided to do an internship in an orthodontic office. What I learned in that year was challenging and exciting, I was hooked! I enjoy working with all our patients adult, teens & children. My experience includes working with special needs patients, training at Emory University to help educate teens for inclusive classes with those on the autism spectrum.
I live in Demorest, have 2 adult sons, Dru and Dustin, a sweet cat and dog. I love the mountains and beach, traveling to both during the year. This chapter of my career with Sosebee & Britt Orthodontics I am pleased to work with the finest Doctors and staff! I look forward to meeting and guiding you through your orthodontic journey!
