When you make an appointment for an orthodontic consultation, you are getting over thirty years of my professional opinion. I hope to find out what concerns you most, and start building a relationship with you. I will form immediate impressions about your teeth, but as we say, “don’t judge a book by the cover.” It’s only my opinion until I can use photographs, special radiographic images ( x-rays) and 3-D scans of your teeth to understand your situation thoroughly using science.Then we will need to meet again to discuss a plan going forward to reach your goals. Of special note, please remember your upper teeth need the lower teeth to function-which is one reason why orthodontic treatment works best on BOTH jaws at the same time!
