Orthodontics is a service that provides an improvement in the appearance of the teeth, the general function of the teeth, and in general dental health. Teeth, gums, and jaws are an intricate body part and can fail to respond to treatment. If good oral hygiene is not practiced, tooth decay and enlarged gums can result. Joint discomfort and root shortening are observed in a small percentage of cases. Teeth change throughout our lifetime and there can be some movement of teeth and some change after treatment. Our office is committed to meeting or exceeding the standards of infection control as mandated by OSHA, the CDC and the ADA. We also abide by HIPPA guidelines, insuring that patient information is kept private.

I hereby state that I have read and understand the above paragraph and have truthfully, to the best of my ability, answered all the above questions.
