Contract Doctor
Dr. Andrea Radabaugh, DDS
Dr. Christensen is pleased to announce that Dr. Andrea Radabaugh has joined our Team, on a part-time basis, to help us treat patients with airway issues from babies who are tongue tied to adults with obstructive sleep apnea. Patients love her calm demeanor and sweet personality. She has already proven her skills with our infant tongue tie patients. Dr. Radabaugh still has her dental practice in Craigmont, Idaho so is only in our practice part-time. We appreciate her willingness to help us in our very busy and growing airway practice.
I was born and raised in southern Idaho. I graduated in 2005 from Boise State University, magna cum laude, with a bachelor's degree in Biology. I went on to attend Creighton University School of Dentistry, graduating magna cum laude with a Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 2010. During one year of an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency at Idaho State University, I was able to expand my knowledge in all aspects of dentistry.
My husband of 11 years, Fred, and I make our home in Craigmont, along with our seven year old daughter, Hadley. I have owned my practice in Craigmont for almost 12 years. In my free time, I enjoy reading, sewing, crafting and crocheting. I also volunteer in my community as a 4- H leader and as a member of the Friends of the Library.
My daughter was born with a significant tongue and lip ties and struggled with breastfeeding, speech, dental crowding and sleep issues. Unfortunately it wasn’t until she was 5 years old, that we realized why. Her treatment at Christensen Orthodontics has us on our way to resolving these issues. I also lost my 40 year old brother this year as a direct result of untreated sleep apnea, so I fully believe in and support the mission of Christensen Orthodontics in treating sleep and airway issues and not just straightening teeth. I joined Christensen Orthodontics in October of 2022. As a dentist, I am realizing how underdeveloped jaws, airway issues and tongue ties are affecting my patients. I am excited to now be a part of this amazing team helping patients and families in the LC Valley and surrounding areas.
Administrative Team
Anna Riggers
Orthodontic Treatment Coordinator
I started working for Dr. Christensen in June 2010, but started working in the dental field in 2006. I am one of our treatment coordinators, so I see new patients for consultations. I have an Associate’s Degree and my certification in Dental Assisting from the College of Southern Idaho. I am also high-speed hand piece certified.
I enjoy interacting with our wonderful patients and their families on a daily basis. Getting to know new people and building relationships with them is one of the best parts of my job. Dr. Christensen and our team are so much fun, as well. We all get along so well and enjoy joking around with one another and getting the patients involved. There is so much laughter in our office!
I have a wonderful husband, Kyle, who I married in October 2011. We have two awesome children, Grady and Millee. They keep us busy! We love traveling, especially if it's a road trip. We also enjoy going to our cabin in Elk River where we can ride our side-by-side, go fishing and hunting, and just enjoying the outdoors!

In our spare time, we love doing anything outdoors that we can do together.
Lissa Cockrell
Financial Coordinator
I started working at Christensen Orthodontics in November of 2021. I didn’t know what to expect, as I had never worked at an orthodontic office before. What I found was an amazing team of people that work hard to ensure that the patients not only have a great smile, but have the best health possible. Dr. Christensen wants the best for each and every patient that walks through the office. He shares that passion with the rest of the team, and they all work hard to give the patient the best experience and outcome possible.
As the Financial Coordinator, I work closely with insurance companies. I submit claims to them so you don’t have to. Although I don’t see patients when they come in, I have an open door. I welcome everyone with financial questions to stop by so we can review their account.
I have been married for 32 years. We have 3 adult children, all of which are married. We have 2 grandchildren and one on the way. We are hoping for more grandchildren in the future, so we can spoil them rotten, as well. When I’m not working, I love camping, fishing, boating, and spending time with family.
Destiny Titus
Scheduling Coordinator
I have the privilege to welcome all patients with a smile, as well as scheduling their individual appointments. I also handle all referrals and send out appointment reminders. I really enjoy the interactions I have with patients and knowing that what we do here is helping improve their health. Everyone here is so patient focused; we take the time to get to know each individual and improve their overall health from start to finish.
I currently live in Lewiston with my husband and our five, beautiful children. We enjoy the outdoors so we spend most of our time camping, hunting, fishing and boating. We also love watching our kids play sports and compete in academic competitions.

I began my work as an orthodontic assistant at Christensen Orthodontics in 2017. The first thing I noticed after working here is the amazing team. I love getting to work with all of these fabulous people who make work so fun. Everyone has their special part to play, and everyone works together to make sure our patients’ experience is the best they can get.
I really enjoy the opportunity to meet so many new people, and seeing their confidence build when they get their new smile. It’s amazing to change lives and help people breathe better!
I have a wonderful boyfriend. We spend a lot of our time traveling and adventuring as much as we can. We also enjoy summertime activities like camping, paddle boarding and road trips. In my free time, you can catch me enjoying the sunshine or reading a good murder mystery.
Sara O'Connor
Clinical Assistant
I started working at Christensen Orthodontics in May 2022. I always knew I wanted to work in the dental field but had no idea what to expect when I was hired. I love working here and getting to meet all the patients. I’ve loved seeing the difference we can make with our patients whether it’s confidence with their smile or helping them breathing better.
When I’m not at work, I enjoy fishing, hiking, and playing video games with my boyfriend. I really enjoy hanging out with friends and family. I also have a wiener dog who keeps me on my toes. We love playing fetch in the backyard and taking naps together when we’re done.
McKenzie Triplett
Clinical Assistant
I joined this team shortly after beginning my own treatment journey. I realized shortly after my first visit that curiosity got the best of me, and I had to help others understand the benefits of our goal here at Christensen Orthodontics. My favorite part of working at Christensen Orthodontics is getting to know every patient one on one whether it’s how their day is going or questions about treatment. I strive to see everyone leave happy and concerned free. In addition, I like to spend my free time with my animals. I have a dog named Bear that has been by my side for the last five years, and a horse named Cherry who helped me win the Lewiston Roundup, for amateur barrel racing, in 2019.

I look forward to coming into work each day to improve the health and well-being of our patients.

Jessica Dickson
Lab Technician
I started working for Dr. Christensen in October 2017. Though I have only just begun my career in the dental field, I have worked in the medical field for 18 years. As our lab tech, I make all those fun shiny appliances for your mouth! My favorite part of my job is knowing that with all the appliances I’m making, I’m not only helping our patients with a beautiful smile but in many cases opening airways and saving lives. I love my job; the team has been so inviting and helpful. I am so happy and blessed to be working for such a great, kind-hearted doctor!
I have lived in the LCV all my life. I have a son Treyten who is my world. We love camping with our family and two little fur babies Bentley and Dolché. When we’re not camping, we are hanging with our family and friends.

I started working for Dr. Christensen in August 2022. After spending almost 20 years in the law enforcement and security field I needed a change of pace. I found the perfect fit with the team at Christensen Orthodontics. As one of the two lab techs I get the pleasure of making and knowing that the appliances we construct are significantly impacting someone’s life.
I grew up in Sandy, Oregon and have an amazing wife named Victoria. We met during a Muay Thai martial arts class in Portland, Oregon and have been married since 2013. We have a dog and two cats. We spend a lot of time together riding our motorcycles, 4 wheeling, working out, or enjoying live music.
