Tell us about your customer base.

Our patients vary from infants with cleft palates to 85-year-old musicians, and every age in between. Our doctors specialize in orthodontics, orthopedics and TMJ for children and adults.

Our job is to help improve the way your teeth fit together so you can have a healthier mouth as well as a beautiful smile. If your bite isn't right, it can lead to abrasion of your teeth, gum recession and jaw-joint disorders.

The wonderful thing about a healthy bite is as we correct the way your teeth fit together, they become straightened and aligned and when we have finished, you end up with a "fabulous smile."

What are your strengths?

Commitment to excellence, years of hard work and trying to make a difference in what we do. We are also fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Topeka area dentists, who are among the best in the country.

What is your business philosophy?

We strive to provide the highest level of clinical care combined with individualized service in order to ensure that each patient's orthodontic experience is a pleasant one. We treat our patients as we would treat our family --- with care and compassion.
