your treatment we will begin right away.

1. Non-Extraction

This works best for children between the ages of 5 and 9.
At this age we can expand the jaw giving more space and still allowing the adult teeth to develop naturally.
Of course treatments vary from person to person and for some children we may not have to expand their jaws.
Extraction - It is more common for adults to have teeth extracted to provide the necessary space for movement.

2. Long Term Stability

To achieve long term stability we collaborate with a general dentist, an ear, nose and throat doctor as well as a speech therapist to obtain the optimal results for you.

3. Personalized Treatment

For the duration of your treatment you will always have the same
treatment method.
There are various treatment methods and different doctors use different
methods, but once you choose the method that is right for you, you will always
receive the same treatment method even if a different doctor is treating you.
