Dr Collett is married with two adult sons and enjoys spending time with the family. He volunteers as a timekeeper with basketball. "I enjoy being an orthodontist and don't view the day’s work as a chore, but rather an opportunity to talk to and meet many interesting people, while helping them obtain the smile they desire. It is a gratifying experience to see someone’s self-esteem and happiness improve with a better smile."
