Not only is Dr. Emily B. Abay the new associate orthodontist at Abay Orthodontics, but she is also the youngest daughter of Dr. Emeline Belen Abay.

Dr. Emily was born and raised here in Wichita, Kansas, and grew up coming into our same Abay Orthodontics office in College Hill - progressing from walking around and chatting with patients, to helping at the front desk, to shadowing procedures and appointments with educational intent, to now working alongside her mom. Both doctors are thrilled to be practicing together.

Dr. Emily attended the University of San Diego in Southern California for her undergraduate degree, received her dental training at Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts and completed her orthodontic residency at Columbia University in New York City. With her education, Dr. Emily is well versed in the orthodontic specialty and is proficient in utilizing traditional braces as well as clear aligners for comprehensive treatment.

Dr. Emily is a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, American Dental Association, and is board certified by the American Board of Orthodontics.

Per her educational pursuits living across the country, Dr. Emily has always enjoyed new experiences and diverse interests. She believes this stems from the influence of her parents and five older siblings. Prior to practicing orthodontics, Dr. Emily was able to follow passions of working with children with special needs, dancing, and even cheering for one season in the NFL!

Following Dr. Abay’s model, Dr. Emily sees her patients at every visit, ensuring appropriate care, individual patient needs, and ideal treatment progression. Hoping to carry on the legacy of patients being treated like family, Dr. Emily is firmly committed to the Abay Orthodontics mission: to make you smile.
