Our Philosophy
While our primary objective is to straighten teeth, we are equally concerned about achieving a beautiful smile, balanced profile, healthy teeth and a positive self-image for every person who comes to our office. We believe that looking good means feeling good. We care about our patients and do all we can to provide quality orthodontic care in a quality setting.
Our Philosophy of Care
Everything we do centers around making both your teeth and face look better because of our treatment. We pride ourselves in treating without extractions! Using our new technologies, the extraction of teeth occurs rarely. As a result, our patients enjoy a beautiful final result along with the facial support that comes with maintaining all of your teeth for your lifetime. We believe this provides better support for the jaw joints. However, this decision is made only after exhaustively reviewing the patient’s diagnostic records. Rarely, extractions are made when it is apparent that the face of the patient will benefit without compromising the jaw joints. We want our patients to be happy with their final result now…. as well as many years into the future.
We are committed to providing the care to our patients in as efficient a manner as possible. This means that we try to do as much work as we comfortably can at each visit as well as scheduling as much time as is practical between visits. Our goal is to give you the best possible care with minimal disruption of your daily lifestyle. The incorporation of the new wire and bracket technology we work with assists us in achieving this goal.
