About Us

We are known for the incredible level of service that we provide, and for the fabulous results that we are able to achieve. We are not a high-volume practice. Dr. Held and her Team personally know each patient. When you become our patient, we consider you to be part of the family. Our goal is to offer you truly exceptional orthodontic service.

In that light, we will go the extra mile to work with your general dentist and any other dental specialists (when necessary), to provide you with the full Dental Team care.

Orthodontics is a journey, and it is more enjoyable to go on a journey with friendly people. Throughout every step of your journey with us, we will do everything possible to make your orthodontic treatment fun, efficient, effective, and safe. We hope to be the best part of your day each time that you visit us. We want you to have an incredible experience while gaining the best possible smile and function. And, we want you to feel comfortable recommending us to your friends.
