Meet Dr. Alex Figueroa
The best part about being an orthodontist is interacting with our patients and getting to know each one personally. I enjoy building relationships with patients and their families while seeing each patient mature and blossom.
I have worked in our orthodontic practice since I was 15 years old starting as a laboratory technician making retainers. I progressed to being a chair-side assistant, and completing my training, I am now an orthodontist and partner in the practice.
Meet Dr. Alvaro Figueroa
I feel fortunate to be part of a profession that I am passionate about. I grew up in a family of physicians and dentists and early on developed an interest in healthcare. Dentistry and specifically orthodontics attracted me as I saw how people with healthy smiles seemed to have more confidence.
Meet Dr. Ahmed Shawky
What I love most about my profession is interacting with patients and their families, building strong, lasting relationships. Itās incredibly rewarding to boost the confidence of my patients, whether theyāre students at our local schools or professionals in the workforce.
Coming from a family of educators, I value the importance of education deeply. Iāve spent years teaching Arabic to children in the community, and I place a high priority on educating my patients about their treatments. My goal is to make the āwhyā behind our treatment clear and understandable.
Types of Treatments
We care about every one of our patients which is why our practice offers treatment for every stage of life!Ā
Early Treatment
Adolescent Treatment
Adult Treatment
Early Treatment
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends visiting the orthodontist around age seven.
By this age, most children have a mix of baby teeth and adult teeth, making it easier for the orthodontist to diagnose and correct tooth and jaw problems sooner and without more complex treatments such as surgery.
Adolescent Treatment
Between the ages of 11 and 15 is the most common time for orthodontic treatment, and for good reasons. By 12, most if not all of the permanent teeth have erupted and are in place, and crooked teeth, gaps and bad bites can easily be detected. These problems will hardly ever correct themselves, so this is when most parents decide to seek orthodontic treatment.
Adult Treatment
Orthodontic treatmentĀ is no longer just for teens. In fact, the American Association of Orthodontists states that one in five orthodontic patients is over the age of 21. Many adults are choosing to receive treatment because they understand the importance of maintaining their health, and they want to feel better about their appearance. Adults everywhere are taking advantage of the opportunity to receive orthodontic care, and now you can too.
