Little Time - Big Results!

Daniel’s mom was concerned because his two front teeth were in front of his lower teeth but his upper laterals were trapped behind the lower teeth.
She felt this problem would require years and years of orthodontic treatment to correct. Instead, only18 months later, Daniel is sporting a perfect smile!

They both have been pleased with their visits to our office (although neither one cared very much for the palate expander used to create enough room on top for all his teeth.) From the friendly service of the scheduling coordinators to the expertise of the doctors and assistants in the clinic – treatment moved forward very efficiently. Both mom and Daniel love his beautiful smile and the fact it was done so quickly just gives them even more time to enjoy it!

A Patient's Inspiration To Pursue a Career In Orthodontics

Kyu walked into our office with the idea of changing the way his teeth looked and ended up changing careers. Kyu worked in the building next door to our office in Sylvania as an engineer, so coming in for appointments was a breeze. As he came in for appointments, he talked extensively to Dr. Haerian about the mechanics and biophysics of orthodontic treatment. He was intrigued with the similar vocabulary engineering and orthodontics shared –torque, abutment, bridge, etc.

At the same time, he had been discussing careers with his cousin who had decided to pursue a medical field and was considering dentistry. Kyu came to the conclusion that he, too, would enjoy working hands on with people and that a degree in orthodontics would allow him to apply some of his engineering skills to patients instead of paper. Since then, he has been on the fast track to earning a degree in dentistry before pursuing a specialty in orthodontics. Dr. Haerian is pleased with Kyu’s smile, but he’s even more pleased to know that he inspired Kyu to follow his dream.

Peggy's Story in Braces

Over the course of time, Peggy had undergone orthodontic treatment two other times before deciding to try one more time at Sylvania Orthodontics. Lucky number three turned out to be her winning number as she can now chew comfortably on both sides rather than just on the left. An added “age defying bonus” turned out to be a fuller upper lip after treatment.

Her children had preceded her in completing their orthodontia at Sylvania Orthodontics to correct cross bites and straighten teeth. Peggy noted that no matter what part of the country her adult children reside in, they can always count on their dentist remarking on their “perfect teeth.”
