Questions about treatment
When should a teen see an orthodontist?
When a parent, a dentist or the teen notices crowding, gaps or a bite that looks off. A visit tells you whether to start now or wait.
Do you treat adults?
Yes. Adults come for braces, clear aligners and retainers too, and book around work.
Do I need a referral from my dentist?
Not to book. Bring your dentist's name and we will send them a note after your visit.
Not sure which one?
Come in for an exam. The orthodontist looks at your teeth and bite, and tells you what fits.
