Practicing orthodontics has meant so much to me because creating a beautiful smile has such a positive impact on my patients' lives. I love to see the changes in my patients'personalitiesfrom the time they walk through the door for their very first visit, being apprehensive and afraid to smile, to the day their braces are removed. They are more confident, have increased self-esteem, and cannot wait to show the world their beautiful new smiles.
I am an active member of the teaching staff at Albert Einstein Medical Center's Department of Dental Medicine, where I teach orthodontic practice and theory to graduate orthodontic residents. Through my experience in general dentistry, teaching orthodontics, and love of continuing education, I am able to offer my patients the most modern up-to-date approach to their care.
I have been a Certified Invisalign Provider for many years and have incorporated this technology in order to give my patients an alternative to fixed, traditional braces. I have also added laser technology to my practice, which allows me to perform many simple orthodontic procedures comfortably and conveniently, and I am certified by the World Clinical Laser Institute in soft tissue surgical and periodontal applications.
I live in Doylestown with my wife Tiffany, my son William and our pug Winston. My wife is an elementary school teacher and we have lived and worked in Doylestown for over 20 years. I enjoy spending time outdoors skiing, swimming, and I can often be seen riding my bike around the back roads of Doylestown.

Orthodontic appliances are made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to the proper position.
Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. You can now choose clear or metal brackets and, in some cases, the color of your appliance. Wires are far less noticeable, and the latest materials are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort. Today, any age is a great age to wear braces!
Treatment time varies and can last between one and three years, depending on several factors including age, treatment method, and how minor or severe your case is. A big factor in a successful treatment is you! The more involved and diligent you are, the more efficient your treatment will be. For children, receiving interceptive or early treatment can also help provide a quicker treatment time.
