List of Services
I and my extremely talented team offer a variety of proven teeth straightening and whitening solutions and services. Below is a description list of our most popular requests from patients and some of the other services that we provide. I look forward to talking with you about your needs!
Invisalign®: Invisalign® treatment is appropriate for the vast majority of patients with fully
erupted molars. This is a series of clear trays that are worn to move your teeth. They are
virtually invisible and unlike braces they can be removed for eating.
I have adults between the ages of 65-80, who have always wanted straight teeth, but were concerned what their friends and relatives would say if they got metal braces instead – no worry with Invisalign® treatment since no one will know!

Adult Braces: Adults from ages 18 to 83 have been treated by me in the past 20 years. Whether you have a ting gap between your front two teeth or you have missing teeth and things have shifted, you need to have me on your dental team with your general dentist so that you can be properly informed so that you can make the right decisions about your mouth.
I have had patients visit me only to find out that a tooth didn’t need filled, a crown didn’t need to be done yet, a dental bridge was placed before the teeth were moved into better positions first and had dental work that had to be redone.

Teenager Braces: Teenagers from ages 10 to 17 are seen for what most people call teen braces. Caution is given here since ¼ of the children in the world who need braces today should have started at age 6 to handle severe problems that could have been corrected fully while the bones of the face were still soft and growing. After the age of 10, the bones start to harden, making problems permanent.
Waiting for all the baby teeth to fall out is false information since many treatments should have started at age 6. The other problem is that ¼ of the girls today loose most of their baby teeth as early as 9 years old so this also proves that one must not wait to start treatment – age 6 by a qualified doctor like me is the key – not all orthodontists are trained in early treatment!

Early Treatment Braces (Age 6-11): I’m fully trained to deal with most problems of crooked teeth and jaws that are presented to me. Most general dentists did not get training in this field while in dental school usually because there was not enough time to be taught this in a 4 year dental program.
For that matter, it may seem odd or confusing to you, but ask yourself, if you were to get 10 opinions from 10 different orthodontists about a severe buck teeth problem for your child, then “Why are there 10 different opinions and why do most of the opinions tell you to wait until the baby teeth fall out and nothing is needed right now?”
The answer: Look at the doctor’s credentials, where they went to school, ask how many early treatment cases of your child’s problem have they fixed at age 6. I have a Master’s degree in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics – it states this on my diploma. The dentofacial orthopedics comes from the words: dento = teeth; facial = face; ortho = straight; pedics = child. So, combine all of these words means to straighten the teeth and bones of the face of a child.
If your child’s upper front teeth stick out from the lower from teeth more than the end of a #2 pencil erasure, they need to be seen. Other problems need seen at age 6 are bulldog bites, “buck” teeth, open bites (front teeth do not touch – only the back teeth), severe front gaps or spaces, severe crowding and if your child bites down and you don’t see their lower teeth.

for Zoom 2.
Thumbsucking, Fingersucking & Pacifier (Binky) Habits Stopped: I have no doubt that I’m the leading expert in the country in this field. I have stopped over 323 children within a week to stop their habits that are damaging their teeth and bones of their face. Not only do I stop these habits easily with simple education steps, no hypnosis, no sharp appliances – only a pleasant experience (parent is there during all steps), but I correct the damage caused by these habits.
Left untreated, the damage doesn’t reverse itself or just “go away or get better with time.” If the child is first seen in my office after the age of 8-9, many parents are then advised that their child’s problems now need more expensive braces and jaw surgery is often required.
The key is to be seen by age 6 if your child does or had any of these habits. Most general dentists and even some orthodontists don’t recognize the damages nor do they know how to fix them at age 6.

TMJ Pain and Noises near the ears: TMJ stands for the names of the two bones that form a joint near your ear. The “T” stands for the temporal bone that is part of your skull right above your ear hole. The “M” stands for the Mandible, which is your loser jaw bone. Where these two bones meet is the joint (“J”). So, people that have pain in or near their bones call this TMJ (temporomandibular joint) pain or they state “TMJ” to say it faster.
I have dealt with patients who could barely open their mouth on the extreme end and patients with a few clicks and pops in this joint on the simplest end. The problem today is that many patients don’t get properly diagnosed of their bite problems that I’m able to fix. By the time they make it to me, they usually have seen five doctors in medicine and dentistry and come in with a bag of plastic things that fit over their teeth called splints. Some have been taking drugs prescribed for them that do nothing to fix the problem, but only hides it until the TMJ gets worse.
My job is to fix your TMJ problem and coordinate any other related treatments with doctors who I only work with. This way, your TMJ problem is kept under control, communication is kept within the TMJ team (and you are on the team!) to give you the quickest result to be out of pain and to obtain a normal bite.
But, there is a big BUT – I only will treat your TMJ if I can help you and that your problem requires movements of your teeth to correct your problems. Click here to go to the webpage with photos and more info on: How to self-diagnose you and your child needs to come see me now for TMJ.
