Our Approach
We're called "Great" for special reasons!! Our philosophy: ensure patients are well educated about the rationale for orthodontic treatment and all of their options; achieve the best possible outcome in a supportive environment; honor patient preference; encourage diligent maintenance of dental health during orthodontic treatment; stand behind our results during retention and beyond; encourage patients to regard their orthodontic outcome as something worth preserving for a very long time; strict attention to detail and patient safety; keep patients and colleagues well informed.

New PhD Appliance!
The PhD Appliance is still very recent on the orthodontic scene. It expands the maxilla then distalizes maxillary molars, in two steps, but with one appliance. It is a variation on the "Pendex" appliance, which can perform simultaneous expansion of the maxilla with molar distalization.

The PhD would be selected over the Pendex in a case where maxillary expansion is more critical than molar distalization and where molar anchorage for expansion is paramount. Technically, the PhD is more challenging for both the laboratory technician and the orthodontist. For the patient, the PhD would be slightly more time-consuming than a Pendex.
