We respect the goals of our patients and aim to ensure we finish your treatment on time. We also work with you to help maintain your straight teeth. To start our consultation process, we begin with a conversation about you and your needs. Importantly, we are not aligned with any specific product or process, so our focus remains on you.
The Smiles Team prioritizes informed choices and understands that the idea of having teeth removed can be intimidating for many. Our goal is to transform smiles one person at a time. This often entails:
In kids and teenagers: Establishing their jaws in the correct positions and preventing the potential late side effects resulting from moderately to severely crowded teeth. This approach can yield better breathing and overall health benefits.
In teenagers: We carefully consider your unique needs, ongoing growth, and health of individuals teeth to create a plan for straightening the teeth. We also take into account the presence or absence of wisdom teeth.
In adults: Our primary focus is on maintaining teeth while enhancing or preserving your facial balance. We achieve this using discreet braces or clear aligner solutions (such as Invisalign®) and leveraging new technologies to ensure treatment is completed on time or even ahead of schedule.
