We don’t take shortcuts when planning your treatment. We advise complete diagnostic tests (x-rays, photos and impressions of the teeth) at your consultation when treatment is indicated. There is no substitute for having all the diagnostic information. A lack of information can lead to improper treatment.
You are offered a choice of many payment options. You don’t even have to write a check because we can do it automatically for you if you desire.
You receive care in a stable practice. The same orthodontist, in the same locations for more than 14 years.
Your treatment is “state of the art”. Computer video imaging, cavity fighting adhesives, latex-free elastics and space age low force wires are all available.
