Patient Impact

"A patient came info my office with a severe malocclusion that was esthetically unappealing. He was very shy, quiet, and did not want to smile or open his mouth. I was able to talk to him and reassure him that we would provide the best care for him and that his teeth will look awesome after braces. I was able to relate to him and his interest in video games and computers. After his treatment, he was a completely different person. He was very talkative, smiled a lot and the shyness just disappeared. His mother later told me that he went to 3 other orthodontists before me and that he would only start orthodontics with me. It felt good to know that I had such a profound impact on a child's personality and life."
