Our Orthodontic Philosophy
“At the core of our orthodontic approach lies the belief that optimal structure leads to ideal function. We are dedicated to challenging the biological limits of the oral foundation to achieve not only optimal health and function but also to promote healthy behaviors. By striving for excellence in orthodontic care, we aim to empower our patients to embrace a lifetime of confident smiles and overall wellbeing.” – Dr. Taera Kim, DMD, MSD
Why Choose Orthodontics
The advantages of orthodontic treatment go beyond just improving your smile. Orthodontics play a significant role in:
- Promoting better oral health – by aligning your teeth, orthodontic care makes brushing and flossing more effective, supporting gum health.
- Relieving discomfort caused by misaligned bites – orthodontics help balance the bite, easing pressure and discomfort.
- Shortened treatment times thanks to modern orthodontic advancements.
- Offering a variety of treatment options, designed for comfort, convenience and aesthetics.
- Enhancing jaw alignment and function.
- Supporting implant and restorative dental procedures.
- Improving airway and tongue resting positions.
Investing in orthodontic care is now more appealing and accessible than ever.
