📍T W O Y E A R S
📍50k miles on my Jeep
📍40+ nights in a hotel alone (away from my wife and two young children)
📍2 hour drive each way (sometimes twice/week)

A LONG CHAPTER ENDS. So grateful for my Sumter crew. While starting a practice from scratch, having a part time associateship is a normal rite of passage for an orthodontist. My opportunity ended up being quite far away!

While some days/nights were VERY hard (leaving my newborn boy) and lonely, they also gave me the chance to recollect, catch up on admin work, and most importantly…help pay the bills!

I am so grateful that I had the opportunity, because without it, High Tide would have been almost impossible to build. These are the behind-the-scenes that usually get left out of the normal, shiny instagram posts.

I will miss hearing “Welcome ‘Home’!” upon entering the , my solo meals at .on.main, and the all sweet ladies at .

I am looking forward to spending 💎 MORE TIME AT HIGH TIDE ORTHO 🥳

Excited for what’s ahead,

Expander delivery appointments can be more fun (and comforting) with big sisters helping out 👧

Kenna had her older sister assisting Dr Trev during the expander delivery! And they were ALL SMILES after the appointment 😊

Great job today, girls!! 🙌🙌

Thanks for the 📸, mom!!

No sibling rivalry here! These two got their Phase 1 braces off at the same time and just in time for hot dogs, fireworks, and whatever they weren’t allowed to eat with braces, (but probably still did 🤷‍♂️ 😂 )

The team at High Tide wishes everyone a safe and fun
4th of July holiday! 🇺🇸 🎆

We will be closed tomorrow and the 4th, but will still be fielding calls and texts to the office phone number 🤙

The Tide Is Changing!

Thanks to all that attended Dr Trev’s CE lecture about Phase 1 orthodontics and its relationship to improving sleep disordered breathing (among other great benefits).

There is so much new information out there in the field of orthodontics right now; we love to be able to share our own High Tide patient clinical progress to exhibit the power of collaboration, research and innovation to help better our community ❤️

Special thanks to for the chairs!!

A big “Happy Birthday” to Jill! We appreciate everything that you do, whether it be holding down the fort or bringing in your sweet pup to work (who has become the official office doggy).

Jill is an incredibly talented assistant with crazy good problem solving skills. Never the center of attention (by request lol) but wanted to give her a shout out anyways. We are so happy that she made Charleston her home ❤️

High Tide Team Ziplining!

The team headed to in Awendaw for a fun evening where we all faced the following fears: heights, overuse of puns, and uncomfortably tight safety harnesses

We survived and had a great time! Love this team ❤️

This brave and beautiful kid has a big day today. 💪🏼 She is getting her tonsils out, her adenoids out, and getting tubes placed AT THE SAME TIME

Airway has been a super important part of my practice at High Tide, and we take this issue with our young ones seriously! The field of orthodontics is changing, and I’m proud to be a part of the movement that has been promoting phase 1 early, interceptive treatment in the right situations (I like the idea of dropping the term “early” from this phrase as this term gives the feeling like we could wait for “later” treatment. Most of the time we probably can wait, but some kids can REALLY benefit from Phase 1 treatment)

The girl in the picture is my daughter, Bowie. When she sleeps next to me, I can hear her struggle to breathe, I see the tossing-and-turning and the difficulty of awakening in the mornings. It’s easy to see the issues as a parent, and this just stimulates my desire to help these kids even more!

Did you know that orthodontic expansion can improve mouth breathing and help with nighttime grinding and/or snoring? And might be best when combined with tonsillectomy?

There is even literature that shows that early orthodontic expansion can help shrink tonsils/adenoids!? (It’s a controversial idea and gaining traction)

“Early” orthodontic expansion is not a cure-all for sleep-disordered breathing, but more a potential integral aspect of a team approach (ENT, Myofunctional therapist, pediatric dentist, pediatrician, general dentist can all play a part) that can improve the growth and development of our kids!

I will be doing more writing/speaking about this in the near future, but for now I want to wish my own kid the best of luck today. Go Bowie!!

📕 High Tide Interns 📚

We were excited to host a few student interns with an interest in the field of orthodontics this week! These students are/were also patients of Dr Trev. What a compliment to have them want to spend time with us AFTER the braces come off 😆

Dr Trevs loves teaching and doesn’t mind the extra company! Shadowing was crucial to Dr Trev in determining his future profession, so just paying it forward!

Nick, Kat, and Shiraz.. you guys rock 🎸 Looking forward to more days of learning together!

Yes, it’s true.. We actually ❤️ teeth at High Tide. Especially SHARK TEETH!

Isla brought Dr Trev a shark tooth that she recently found on Drum Island. She is so thoughtful that she gave Dr Trev a present on her OWN birthday!!

Dr Trev was given a shark tooth, Isla was given an appliance 😂. Thank you Isla, and Happy birthday!!🎂

Isla inspired us to find some more! We are going to start collecting teeth for a “Shark Tooth Library” display at our office. Let’s see how many different types we can find! 🦈

Dr Trev came up empty handed on Bulls Island last weekend. Any tips for finding these things??

This is so cool.

These pictures were taken almost two years apart!

Picture 1 (March 2023): When Dr Trev met little Bowie at the Carolina Park spring vendor and was just starting to spread the word about his practice

(obviously she was an instant favorite for being the “O.G. Bowie” as Dr Trev’s 4 year old daughter is also named Bowie. That’s why they took the original photo together!)

Picture 2: taken today after O.G. Bowie got her braces on! 😊 😊 and she’s a LOT taller!

Go Bowie! ⚡️
