Why Choose Us?

Most orthodontists focus mainly on “straight teeth”.  Dr. Bird focuses on the “Why?” and determines the underlying structural and/or behavioral abnormalities that have caused the improper alignment of teeth.  By addressing these underlying issues, we aim to eliminate the main causes that lead to crooked teeth.  Our goal is to achieve beautiful, wide smiles that last a lifetime.

We also focus on the proper growth and development of the jaws to encourage proper airway development. We are able to maximize our patients’ growth potential and also help to regain what may have been “lost” in adults.

We have a state-of-the-art 3D Imaging System to analyze our patients’ teeth, roots, TMJ, airway, and sinuses.  With more information than is obtained from a traditional X-ray, we are able to provide treatment that is beyond straight teeth. We can evaluate our patient’s airway, tongue position, tonsil and adenoid sizes, and jaw bone widths.  Constricted airways can cause sleep disorders, leading to a lack of brain development, learning disorders, and attention disorders.  

It’s often a team approach!  We collaborate with airway dentists at Bird Pediatric Dentistry and in the community, ENTs, chiropractors, speech therapists and myofunctional therapists!
