My name is Teresa Rahaim and I have been in orthodontics since 1991. Through the years I have seen so many changes in orthodontics but one thing stayed the same and that is the goal of a beautiful smile. That’s what I love about my job! Meeting new people and learning about what they want to achieve and helping make that happen is the greatest reward.
I have a son who is a travel nurse that I am very proud of. When I’m not working I love to ride bikes, beach trips, family time and of course baseball season!

My journey in Orthodontics began in 2008. I fell in love with it immediately! My job is amazing for so many reasons! Developing patient relationships is very important to me. I love that at each patient visit, I am able to help advance their treatment with bringing them one step closer to a perfect smile! A perfect smile can change anyone’s life and that’s always a rewarding feeling at the end of a day! In my free time, I love family fishing days with my husband and son! I also enjoy watching live music, grabbing a cup of coffee from somewhere new, and spending time with my girlfriends.

I graduated from PRCC with an associates and dental assisting degree in 2016. In 2012, my family and I moved to Columbia, MS after my dad came home from the Deepwater Horizon explosion. When my husband and I got married we moved to Hattiesburg and started our family. My favorite part about working at Magnolia Orthodontics is being able to work with the best team I could ask for. The best part of my job is seeing a patient smiling ear to ear after getting their braces off. In my free time I love hanging out with my family and watching my baby girl grow.
