It Just Takes 3-Steps to Begin to Live Life Smiling
1.
Initial Exam
Dr. Darin will meet with you and your child, determine if orthodontic treatment is the best next step, and answer all your questions.
We take the time to get to know the human being that’s attached to the teeth
2.
Learn about treatment options
We present you up with all of your options, including no treatment. We will give you an individualized plan to address your unique concerns and fit treatment into your schedule and budget.
3.
Get a smile you love
We will set up a schedule of treatment, usually appointments every 6-8 weeks. As you progress with treatment, you (or your child) will see your confidence grow as you get a smile you love.

Lifetime Satisfaction Guarantee
To our valued client
We understand that orthodontic treatment is a considerable investment. This is why we offer you a lifetime satisfaction guarantee for comprehensive orthodontic treatment (YES, I said lifetime satisfaction guarantee – MY lifetime, not yours!)
If you ever require orthodontic treatment again, after we straighten your permanent teeth, even if re-treatment is necessary because you didn’t wear your retainers, we will straighten your teeth again for FREE. You will never pay for the cost of braces or aligners twice in our office.
