Interesting original artwork and decor.

Much care was taken in the design to make each office visit relaxed and enjoyable-a truly positive experience, it is like entering a Jungle Jim exodus before having your teeth fixed . We also decorate our office with flowers for all flower‘s lover, it is an Ikebana art as many of our staff including doctors are Ikebana art Masters too! Many of the paintings on the wall are painted by Dr Anka!

Each Doctor has completed a rigorous orthodontic residency after attending dental school.

You are cared by two doctors

The benefit of having two doctors in the office is tremendous. Although Dr. Anka and Dr. Aonuma have very similar treatment philosophies, the doctor's routinely confer with each other to establish definitive treatment plans in their patient's best interest.

All options of treatment are presented

The patient is informed of the treatment options available so they can make the best informed choice.

Parents are informed of treatment progress at each appointment

We make a conscious effort at every appointment to update you on treatment and if it is progressing according to schedule. We are committed to keeping you informed and we will always make time to answer your questions.

We do not use recycled braces or bands that were used in someone else's mouth!

Although a legal and common practice, we never use recycled braces. We feel braces are precision devices manufactured to be in one mouth only!

Treatment is completed within the estimated treatment time.

We have a very high success rate of completing treatment within the estimated treatment time. We pay close attention to the best time to initiate treatment and make sure not to start a child's treatment too early. Efficient systems are in place to help ensure that treatment is completed on schedule with the best possible result.

Up to date sterilization systems are in place.

Our instruments are autoclave sterilized between every patient. Single-use/disposable items are used when possible.

State-of-the-art appliances bring our treatment to a new level of clinical performance.

• Our clear brackets are virtually invisible and are designed to move the teeth efficiently. White coated wires are available as well.
• Nickel-titanium arch wires create a continuous-light force resulting in more efficient tooth movement with less discomfort to our patients.
• Invisible Clear Aligner is one option for adult patient who wants unseen bracket (clear and removable). The appliance can be also use in conjunction before fixed appliance to reduced the show up brackets time.
• Consequently treatment is completed more quickly with a more ideal occlusion (bite).
• The majority of orthodontic relapse occurs along the lower front teeth and is usually caused from poor cooperation using a lower removable retainer. As a result we almost always recommend a permanent retainer on behind the lower front teeth. They are not visible and comfortable to wear. We will discuss with each patient a definitive retention plan tailored to their individual needs as treatment comes to completion.

WE ARE CARING

Treatment is tailored to each patient's individual needs.

Care and consideration is taken by the doctor and staff to treat each patient as an individual and not a "cookie cutter" treatment approach where every patient receives the same treatment modality regardless of their chief reasons for seeking orthodontic care.

A commitment to communication at each visit.

We make a conscious effort to update you about you or your child's treatment at every appointment. With daily "appointment summarys" and periodic formal progress reviews, patients and parents are kept abreast about treatment and if it is progressing according to schedule.

Our secretary will take your phone calls in English

We will always make time to answer your questions.

Many of our patients are adults. The office has been designed taking into consideration the specific needs of adult patients. In each office, specific treatment areas were created to allow for more privacy. Treatment planning of adult patients differs from that of child patients. Treatment modalities have been created to minimize visits while maximizing efficiency to accommodate an adult's busy schedule.

Most adults choose to use clear braces that are virtually invisible or lingual orthodontic braces, or the combination of both. Our retainer is a clear plastic and/or lingual fixed retainer that is totally invisible.

Approximately 5% to 7% of the United States population is believed to have skeletal facial deformities resulting in jaw malrelationships. Often in these situations, orthodontic treatment alone may provide an unstable and unpredictable solution to a severe malocclusion (bad bite relationship) and the result may be significantly compromised. Therefore, orthodontia, in conjunction with jaw surgery may be necessary to achieve a proper result. Following are different skeletal irregularities that orthodontics in conjunction with orthognathic surgery can address to improve the ability to chew, speak, breathe and in many cases enhance appearance.

Orthodontic and oral surgery team approach

Orthodontic and oral surgery team approach
Treatment is initiated by the orthodontist. Dr. Anka and Dr. Aonuma job is to properly align the teeth so that when the jaw is surgically moved the teeth will fit together properly. After the surgery further orthodontic tooth movement is necessary to finalize the result. Although for every patient the timing of treatment is different, a common scenario is as follows: 1. 6-12 months of presurgical orthodontic treatment 2. Orthognathic surgery procedures 3. 6-12 months of post-surgical orthodontic treatment.
