A closer look at treatment in progress.

This patient is undergoing expansion and orthodontic therapy to create room for proper tooth eruption and alignment. Cases like this require careful planning, patience, and a focus on long-term stability.

Sometimes the most important changes happen behind the scenes.

Every smile has a story.

In this testimonial, a mother shares why she chose a non-extraction approach for her son’s orthodontic treatment. Instead of removing healthy teeth to create space, Dr. Sarkissian used a custom appliance to support natural growth and development.

What stood out most to her? A holistic approach that looked beyond straight teeth and considered her son’s overall facial development, function, and long-term health.

Thank you for trusting us with your family’s care.

Why do cavities develop so often in molars?

The chewing surfaces of molars contain deep pits and fissures where food particles and bacteria can become trapped. These areas are often difficult to clean thoroughly with a toothbrush, especially in children.

A pit and fissure sealant is a thin protective coating placed over these grooves to help reduce the risk of decay and make the tooth easier to keep clean.

Prevention is always easier than treatment.

Delivering an appliance to a young boy with tongue thrust. The first thing we do is enlarge the upper jaw which in itself improves tongue space and posture, expands airway and creates more room for future incoming permanent teeth. Other factors contributing to tongue thrust are tongue tie, and swallow and speech dysfunction. The tongue tie can be easily addressed with a lingual with the waterlase, and the rest should involve a therapist.

The worst thing you can do to a growing teenager is to extract healthy premolars to make space for orthodontics. The best time to intervene is during the rapid growth phase of ages between six and 10 years old with simple appliances you can develop their arches, and create a healthy foundation for straight teeth, wide smiles, healthy airways, and problem-free jawjoints. This sad case is just an example of how an orthodontist can ruin somebody’s future by not thinking outside the box, being trigger-happy and amputating healthy teeth, just to follow the long-established convention that separates jaw joint problems and airways from straight teeth.

Delivering a lower arch development appliance to a young girl with beautiful eyelashes. The key is early intervention and creating a proper foundation during the rapid growth phase of a child. Many times this will render the need for future braces obsolete or when still necessary, of much shorter duration, avoiding the need for extractions, and ending up with large airways, health jaw joints and a beautiful profile with a wide smile line.

Early intervention in a child ages between 6 and 10 is absolutely necessary and beneficial in treating insufficient jaw size during the rapid growth phase of a child. There are many signs that worn us of future crowding, but one of the earliest is the lateral incisor flaring, rotation, or crowding. If this is not addressed in time, jaw orthopedic therapy becomes much more challenging after age 12 when the primary teeth have been lost and crowding transfers on to the incoming canines and all with a vengeance. This young girl went through two sets of appliances, with the second set, incorporating what we call lap springs to flare the upper central incisors forward, which seemed to have worked wonders, eliminating the need for actual braces.
