I couldn't imagine or recommend a better orthodontist for my daughter. She has special needs which caused, in addition to just an awfully crooked, impacted, ill-ideal , etc set of teeth in her mouth, initial surgery for her mouth as young as 6 months to start And again recently for something unrelated. That said, Dr. Lawrence's expertise on the best path from the beginning with her has been exceptional. He literally made miracles happen in her mouth, even having to identify a solution to a teeth issue that "isn't even in the Ortho medical book". She's had braces for many yrs now, and will likely still have for some time, but I really could never recommend someone better for my famy in the field.
