Cottage Grove & Eugene Team
Jaiden
Orthodontic Assistant
Hi, I’m Jaiden and I look forward to helping as you change your life by changing your smile! I enjoy making people smile and feel more confident throughout their treatment. I encourage great oral hygiene and offer patient care including changing wires and colors, taking X-rays, and Invisalign® checks. It is rewarding to help the community by creating stronger and more confident people with new smiles. Having a great smile really impacts your life and that shows from a person’s first appointment to the last. I love being able to bond with each patient and am looking forward to getting to know you!
My wonderful fiancée Zach and I have two Rottweiler fur babies, Maverick and Marleigh. I love to take the pups for walks and cuddle on the couch with them. My hobbies include sand dollar searching, paddle boarding, and anything that involves family. I love taking photos and love music, too. Some things that make me smile: the color teal, tea, Smartfood popcorn, my Toyota Tacoma, and makeup.
Marissa
Orthodontic Assistant
Hello and welcome to Chvatal Orthodontics! I’m Marissa and I work in our clinic, where I help our patients during treatment. In addition to providing patient care, I work hard to keep our clinical flow smooth and also handle sterilization duties. I love interacting with patients and their families. We get to see everyone fairly frequently, and that gives us plenty of time to get to know one another. Many times, once a patient has finished treatment, we then get to see and care for their younger siblings, or their mom and dad decide they want to change their smile, too. It’s fun to get to know whole families like this!
I’m a native Oregonian, having grown up in Creswell, just a few miles south of Eugene. I enjoy film, sports, crafting, and my boys: Aaron, my sweet, musically talented, and hilarious boyfriend since 2012 and our Puggle, Nesta! He is my whole heart and has such a wonderful soul!

Hi everyone! I have had a passion for dentistry since the 7thgrade, and now I get to live out my dream! I love meeting new people, building relationships with patients, and brightening everyone's day (and smiles!) At Chvatal Orthodontics, I enjoy helping patients achieve their perfect smile, in fact, I'll be one of the first people you will see as I take your photos, x-rays, and a super-cool 3D scan of your teeth to help Dr. C. make the best plan for you.
I love working here and getting the opportunity to be a part of this amazing team. I can't wait to meet you and perfect your beautiful smile!
I was born in Round Rock, TX, but grew up as a true Oregonian down in Medford.

All kidding aside, I love my wonderful coworkers who always have jokes, encouraging words and a helping hand. Our amazing leadership team, whose kindness and selflessness always goes above and beyond. I also love how Dr. C is always investing in our growth not just within the field but as good humans. I am beyond thankful to be able to experience the culture that has been cultivated here.
Outside of work I love being outdoors. You will catch me riding my motorcycle down back roads, going out on my SUP with my Fur child Luna and camping/exploring in the wonderful forests we are so lucky to have around us.

I love being part of Chavatal Orthodontics and building friendships while helping create amazing smiles!
I’m married to my best friend and we have a Chocolate Lab named Maggie Mae, who is the apple of our eyes. In my free time, Mags and I are usually out and about at the river or the parks around town. We also love to go camping! Do you have a favorite camping spot? I would love to hear all about it!
