We believe orthodontics is about more than straight teeth. It’s about building self-esteem and confidence and giving people young and old something to smile about. In the past, orthodontic treatment was often postponed until the adolescent years, when all of the permanent teeth had come into the mouth. We now know that many orthodontic problems can be treated much earlier and much more easily by working with the growth that takes place in younger children. Early detection can have a tremendous impact on a young person’s dental health.

We also believe that everyone deserves a great smile, including adults. In fact, it’s the condition of of a person’s teeth, gums, and supporting bone that is the most important element in deciding on treatment, not a person’s age. Advances in technology have reduced the discomfort associated with having braces and have allowed for longer intervals between office visits, making braces more convenient and desirable for adults and children alike.
