Our Services
Our office has provided comprehensive orthodontic treatment in Ann Arbor for over 30 years. We have seen virtually every type of orthodontic and orthopedic challenge imaginable. We pride ourselves in providing state-of-the-art treatment for our patients, using the latest diagnostic techniques and treatment protocols. We focus on the following:

Orthodontics:
We provide the spectrum of services that you would expect in a first-class orthodontic office, including the most sophisticated fixed and removable appliances. We strive to treat all of our patients efficiently and effectively, and we study the outcomes of our treatment to continually improve our methods.


One treatment method we and our customers have grown to like is Invisalign, this treatment consists of a series of clear aligners used to treat mild to moderate orthodontic problems. The Invisalign system is custom-made to address each patient’s individual problems using a treatment plan devised by the orthodontist. Each aligner is individually manufactured with exact calculations to gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment.

Early Orthodontic Treatment:
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children be seen by an orthodontist by the age of seven or about the time of the eruption of the upper front teeth. The purpose of an early visit is to evaluate whether changes in the child’s skeletal patterns are needed. If changes are indicated, we can plan to start at an ideal time (often in the second through fourth grade). We monitor the growth and development of our younger patients free of charge until they are ready for treatment.

There are several advantages to early treatment. If detected early, harmful habits can be corrected to avoid further and more extensive treatment. Early treatment often eliminates the need to extract permanent teeth. Treatment occurs when patients are most receptive, reducing the need for more patient-compliant treatment during the tumultuous high school years.


Adult Orthodontics:
Many people think that orthodontic treatment is just for children. The truth is people of all ages, including adolescents and adults, receive orthodontic care for healthier teeth and gums, improved chewing from properly aligned teeth, and increased confidence from esthetically pleasing teeth and smile.

We provide a variety of treatment options, including “regular braces”, selective use of “clear braces”, and Invisalign ®


Interdisciplinary Orthodontics:
We specialize in the treatment of patients with complex orthodontic problems, including those requiring corrective jaw (orthognathic) surgery, as well as periodontal, prosthodontic, or restorative care provided by other specialists. The orthodontist often coordinates interdisciplinary treatment provided by a number of dental specialists who work together as a team. We are pleased to serve in that role in order to make sure that our patients are receiving coordinated interdisciplinary treatment, including the placement of dental implants.
