Beautiful Smile

I have evaluated and studied every final case I have treated to help me determine what works and what doesn't work for the best function and aesthetics. This is what I have routinely done every Saturday morning since I began my practice.

I do my treatment planning out of the office so I have plenty of time to thoroughly evaluate every case. I often do treatment simulations for added information.

I place the braces on every patient myself and measure the placement to within ¼ mm. I do not just use straight wires as most other offices do. Rather, all stainless steel wires are adjusted and get detail bends placed by me. This ensures a more exact result.

By using bends and auxiliary attachments, we can alter the placement of teeth within the lips so they fit appropriate to each patient's face.

I demand a lot of my staff. My technicians know I demand more than other places they have worked, but since they are also dedicated to perfection, they enjoy the challenge.

I am a "non-extractionist," which means that I can usually create space for all of your teeth no matter how crowded, so long as it adds to better facial aesthetics. I only extract if the lips are too protrusive or would become too protrusive.

On surgical cases, I meet with the surgeon and we review our simulations, goals, and treatment plan to the ½ mm of movement.

I have my own in-office lab technician. I have worked with the same technician since I started my practice and we have developed and designed many highly effective appliances and techniques together.

I know what treatments are effective in very early ages and I understand periodontal problems in treating adults.
