Dr. Jill P Hodges graduated from the University of Tennessee Center for Health Sciences with a degree in Dentistry in 1981. She continued at UTCHS fro her masters degree in Orthodontics in 1983. She was one of the first two females to graduate with a degree in Orthodontics.

Dr. Hodges aquired her interest in teeth from her father, Dr. Bailey W. Prichard. He was an orthodontist in Memphis, Tennessee for twenty-five years. As a teen, she worked as an assistant during the summers. Dr. Jill likes to joke she's done every job in the Ortho office from cleaning the bathrooms to being the doctor.

Dr. Hodges, during her twenty-plus years in practice, has treated many unusual and difficult cases. She enjoys all ages from sixty-five year old adults to three year old thumb suckers. The office will strive to care for her patients promptly and efficiently.

Braces
by Taylor

Silver is called braces
The shiny metal tool
They glue them to your teeth
Yes, I know this may sound cruel
With lots of scary gadgets
They crank and wind them up
Every six weeks you will return
Take Tylenol from a cup
The rubber bands are colored
But some I say are not
They let you choose a preference
Only onve I've ever got
Make sure to turn down candy
The sticky, chewy goo
Your brackets will pop off
And then they will be new
Take care and brush them well
Your braces are important
And soon you will replace them
With a shiny plastic ornament
