Approach
Treatment planned around the whole face.
Every case starts with a conversation and a careful diagnosis. I look at more than alignment — smile aesthetics, facial proportions, function, airway and sleep, and the relationship between the teeth, jaws and surrounding facial structures. Two patients with the same crowding rarely get the same plan.
Smile design
Tooth position is only part of it. I plan for smile arc, incisal display, buccal corridors and midline so the finished smile suits the face it lives in.
Facial proportion
Lip support, chin projection and profile change as teeth and jaws move. I plan those changes deliberately rather than discovering them at the end.
Function
A smile has to work. Bite, chewing, joint comfort and long-term stability are built into the plan from the first appointment.
Airway & sleep
Narrow palates, constricted arches and retruded jaws affect how people breathe and sleep. When it's relevant, expansion, advancement and appliance therapy are part of the conversation.
Technology
Digital scanning, Invisalign (including palatal expansion and mandibular advancement), self-ligating and customized brackets, MARPE and sleep appliances — chosen for the patient, not the other way around.
Working with others
Complex cases rarely belong to one clinician. I plan alongside general dentists, periodontists, oral surgeons and craniofacial teams so the result holds up.
