As professionals, we're devoted to providing you with top-quality orthodontic care as well as thoughtful,skilled attention to all aspects of your treatment. We realize that the orthodontic process can be a scary one, so we take special care to customize the process and make sure the orthodontic treatment chosen fits as smoothly as possible into your lifestyle.

What is appropriate for one patient may not be for another, so we provide a comprehensive facial analysis before any work is done to determine the appropriate treatment for each individual. We make special efforts to keep visits relaxed and enjoyable. And you can always count on receiving a lot of support and encouragement from an office that truly cares about its patients.

Today's orthodontic appliances are smaller and more comfortable than ever, with a wide variety of options from which to choose. Regular metal braces are used in the majority of cases and newer appliances have virtually eliminated the need to have a patient wear "old-fashioned" headgear. According to the problem being treated, we also offer custom-made appliances and newer European removable appliances with excellent orthopedic results. Whether your treatment requires braces, removable appliances or a combination of both, your treatment has one goal: a winning smile and good oral health.

  

Good Dental Health Begins Early
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that a child visit an orthodontist for a check up no later than 7. This my surprise you because orthodontic treatment is usually associated with adolescence. Though treatment does not necessarily begin at this early age, an examination is very important to ensure maximum dental health for your child. An early examination allows the orthodontist specialist to determine hwo and when a child's particular problem should be treated for maximum improvement, requiring the least amount of time and providing the greatest benefit. With some patients, early treatment achieves the results that are unattainable once the face and jaws have finished growing.
