Conservative Treatment, Progressive Techniques.
(We promise we aren’t getting political!)
We believe in conservative orthodontic treatment. This means we avoid unnecessary procedures such as tooth extractions or surgery whenever possible. It means that if we can accomplish all of our goals in one phase of orthodontic treatment, we’ll aim for that. It also means that we practice preventative and active orthodontic monitoring for children, making sure that teeth come in at the right place and at the right time.
We believe in utilizing progressive techniques. You won’t see anyone wearing headgear out of our office. Not because headgear doesn’t work, but because we utilize cutting-edge technology that gives us excellent results in less time. We’ve embraced the aesthetic revolution and offer our patients a variety of clear options such as Aligners and clear braces. Our 3D scanner offers a better patient experience along with superior results and no more goopy molds that make you gag!
