This is about straight teeth.
But this is not about braces.
And it is definitely not about extractions.
Integrative Orthodontics is about more than just straight teeth...
WE ARE ABOUT HEALTHY CHILDREN
We concentrate on the things that help children be healthy and grow up with straight teeth.
You see, crooked teeth are only part of the problem...
Here's what else to look for in your child...
At the Raphael Center, we don't think crooked teeth are just inherited.
Teeth come in crooked because of habits (there are four major ones). Change these habits and the teeth can grow in straighter...often without braces at all. Wouldn't that be nice?
Plus, there are lots of health benefits to healthy habits.
Here's how we do it...
We teach kids healthy habits...
...now, what doctor does that?
In a kid-friendly place...
... nothing dental office scary here.
Using an easy to follow plan...
...with step by step instructions to follow at home.
Here's what we can do for your child.
When we address your child's mouth breathing and posture habits...just the basics, mind you...here's what happens...
Less mouth breathing
Getting the lips to close and the tongue to rest on the palate changes facial growth for the better.
Better facial profile
Good facial growth leads to a more attractive face and the teeth can easily come in straighter.
Better airway...
Good facial growth opens up the breathing spaces so you can sleep better, think clearer, and perform activities with less fatigue.
Better breathing and sleep...
The way you breathe - day and night - affects your sleep, your mood, your behavior....everything!
Straighter teeth...
And the icing on the cake is straighter teeth...naturally. No braces used here.
Testimonials

Jimmy and Jim Gallagher
"My boys just finished the program and I can only say amazing things about it. The support we get from the team and the visits keeps our kids motivated. And the change from where they started to where they ended!…there’s just no words…the caring we get from everyone here made this experience so fabulous."
Collette Rude
"Since we started the program, I’ve seen such a huge difference in Rebecca. She used to keep her mouth open mostly at night and now she breathes through her nose and her lips a closed. And of course, her teeth…such a change without braces…her teeth are beautiful now."
Svetlana Bromberg
"Sometimes at the mall when we’re going places, I notice a lot of kids with open mouths and braces...it shows a lot."
Rebecca Bromberg
"They were giving Gabriel more and more allergy medications and I said: No, there is something else going on...His jaw was so narrow and he was breathing through his mouth it was really affecting him. He was a mess. I was a mess. He was going almost every year to the emergency room... But now, after the program, I don't panic so much because I know he's feeling better. "
Rocio Caberte
"Dina needed a space saver in her mouth due to a pulled tooth. We were only looking to solve that problem but were told we could move her lower jaw forward. We went for it!
Her lower jaw definitely moved forward and her profile is certainly improved. She stopped thumb sucking and keeps her mouth closed.... Thank you for everything. We are happy with the improvement! I feel confident that the skills she learned will help her for life"

And if you're really into details...
Your first visit...
Your first visit to us does NOT commit you to any treatment. It's just for us to see if we can help your child and for you to see if you want to work with us.
We'll show you the Center, tell you about our methods, give you pictures of your child's mouth and face, and take some simple measurements so you can understand your child's issues.
Then if we're comfortable with each other, we proceed to more detailed diagnostics, tell you about fees, and start the program.
