Lucy Evans
Orthodontic Therapist
I’m Lucy, I have worked in dentistry for 25 years gaining a vast amount of experience in all sectors of dentistry, however, I have always had a passion for Orthodontics. I gained my Orthodontic therapy qualification from The Royal College Of Surgeons London in 2010 and haven’t looked back since. I have been very fortunate to travel to many places to attend lots of conferences and workshops and have been lucky to travel as far as America. I have worked at The Bay Orthodontics since May 2023, it’s great to have a new challenge. The best thing about my Job is meeting patients and parents, then following their journey seeing the patients grow in confidence whilst we give them the perfect smile. If I wasn’t an Orthodontic therapist I would have liked to be a paediatric physiotherapist. In my spare time I enjoy heading to our caravan in North Wales for long beach walks with my husband and 2 children, paddleboarding and making memories.
