We understand that you desire the best possible orthodontic treatment for you or your child. With that in mind, we take great pride in providing excellent treatment results in a fun, friendly, and timely manner. Here are a few reasons to choose Dr. Kelley and our team to provide your orthodontic care:
Is the doctor an orthodontic specialist?
Dr. Kelley is a specialist in orthodontics. This means that he attended a 2.5 year residency beyond the 4 years of dental school. He is a member of the American Association of Orthodontists and limits his practice to orthodontics.
Is the doctor board certified?
Dr. Kelley has completed the rigorous additional study and examinations required to become certified by the American Board of Orthodontics. He is among the small percentage of orthodontists in the United States to earn this degree of recognized excellence within his specialty. Taking the time and energy to become board certified demonstrates a desire to be held to excellent clinical standards.
Does the doctor completely explain all of the treatment options?
Dr. Kelley spends a lot of time with new patients going over their photographs and x-rays to ensure that they have a complete understanding of their orthodontic needs. He then explains all of the treatment options and uses 3-D computer imaging to demonstrate how the treatments work.
Is the proposed treatment individually tailored to meet each patient's needs?
Care and consideration is taken by Dr. Kelley and our staff to treat each patient as an individual, not a “cookie cutter” treatment approach where every patient receives the same treatment.
We feel that we use the best brackets and wires available
We use the Damon bracket system, which is a self-ligating bracket that reduces friction and often treatment times.
