Our Team Mission

We believe that facial beauty is created by balance, symmetry and proportion. By moving your teeth into ideal positions that are in balance with your facial structures, we can help create a comfortable, functional and harmonious occlusion (bite). We believe in creating a natural smile for each individual, and by treating conservatively, we try to minimize extractions, or the removal of permanent teeth. We tie-in this philosophy by utilizing the latest technology to diagnose and create a treatment plan for each patient’s chief concerns.

Orthodontists are dentists who have completed an additional two-year residency program (approved and accredited by the American Dental Association) to specialize in the study, prevention and correction of irregularities in tooth and jaw relationships and deformities of the face produced by these conditions.
Historically speaking, the orthodontic profession is the second oldest medical specialty, and traditional values are extremely important. For many years, orthodontists have typically corrected malocclusions (“bad bites”) by moving only the teeth. Today’s treatment plans, however, are much different from treatment philosophies of the past. This is primarily due to technological advances, new techniques and a better understanding of growth and development. We not only move teeth, but we also modify poor skeletal and neuromuscular growth patterns. This results in better functioning bites, more pleasing smiles and facial structures that exhibit balance and harmony.

Patients typically seek orthodontic treatment for numerous reasons including aesthetics, health, comfort and function. Our goal is to provide a pleasing smile with a properly functioning bite that has healthy teeth, healthy bones and healthy supporting gum tissues. We aim to create beautiful and healthy smiles so our patients can enjoy all the physical and psychological benefits of a fantastic orthodontic result.
