About Us

Dr. Foch M. Smart

Dr. SmartDr. Foch Smart was born and grew up in Metairie, Louisiana (a suburb of New Orleans).  He graduated from the University of New Orleans in Civil Engineering.  He worked as a structural engineer for five years and even became a licensed professional engineer (P.E.) in Louisiana.  He jokes that he took the "trial and error approach" to careers.  As a result, he encourages all of his young patients to spend time with someone actually working in the field they are interested in before going to college!

He attended dental school at LSU School of Dentistry in New Orleans and completed a three-year residency in Orthodontics at the University of Tennessee.  Dr. Smart graduated first in his class from Orthodontic Residency and also won the Chairman's Award for Excellence in Orthodontic research.

Dr. Smart truly LOVES his work as an orthodontist!   He says he feels extremely fortunate that he has the opportunity to earn a living doing something he enjoys so much.   He is eternally thankful to his wife Lori for all of the sacrifices she made to allow him to go back to school to pursue a career in Orthodontics.   Dr. Smart says, "I must give glory to God for all He has done for me.   I have been blessed beyond what words can express.   God's grace truly is amazing."

Dr. Smart and his wife Lori have three children (Josh, Melanie and Jonathan) whom they dearly love and feel like have grown up too fast.  They are active members of Vaughn Forest Church and enjoy teaching an LCBF (Sunday School) class and hanging out with the students as much as possible.   Dr. Smart's hobbies are running (reluctantly :) and computers.

We have the finest staff an orthodontic office could ask for. 

Amy  -  Amy is amazing.  She has also worked with us since 2006 and has learned more about orthodontics faster than almost anyone we've ever seen.  She is very intelligent and an extremely dedicated worker.  In the time that she has worked with us, Amy has acquired the skills to do most any task we ask her to.  She also accomplishes these tasks better and faster than many assistants who have been working in Orthodontics far longer than she has.  In addition to her clinical and organizational skills, she has also has a consistently positive attitude and is truly a joy to work around.  Amy also is a student at Troy State in Montgomery.
