Here are some examples of our orthodontic work. You can click on any photo to see a larger version.
alex
Alex had been told surgery was required because of his “total reverse crossbite” – his lower teeth were completely inside his upper teeth and just didn’t meet at all.

We developed Alex's jaws with crozat wire appliances then aligned his jaws with twin-block appliances and finally straightened his teeth with braces.
liam
When Liam first came to us, he had very narrow jaws and extremely crowded front teeth. This treatment took less than 2 years to achieve - Liam was a great patient!

We opened up Liam's jaws with a series of removable appliances [plates] and, when there was enough room, we straightened his teeth with braces.
michael
Michael fell off his bike when he was very young and damaged his teeth. So his front teeth were growing into the roof of his mouth.

We widened Michael's jaws with Schwarz plates, pushed two teeth forward with finger spring appliances, and used braces to bring the teeth into line. Later we removed his second molar teeth to allow his wisdom teeth to erupt into his mouth.
It was snowing hard when we drove
into Los Alamos. There was a clinical feeling
to the town as if every man, woman, and child
was a doctor. We shopped at the Safeway
and got a bag of groceries. A toddler
looked like a brain surgeon. He carefully
watched us shop at the exact place where he would
make his first incision
