Adults and kids alike can benefit from the boost in self-confidence that comes from having a great-looking smile with beautifully aligned teeth. Orthodontic treatment can even improve chewing, speaking and oral hygiene in certain cases. And with today's virtually invisible orthodontic appliances, it's possible to keep your treatment a private matter.
Below is the information you need about our hours, location, appointment scheduling, insurance acceptance and billing. We make our best effort to find appointment times that are convenient for our patients. Obviously, it is not possible to schedule everyone after school. We reserve this time for regular adjustments and retainer checks because they are short visits that allow the fewest number of patients to miss school.
Dr. Waters grew up watching his father, an orthodontist in a small community in northern New York, build relationships with his patients by running a small, two chair practice. Like his dad, he enjoys and prefers to provide the majority of the patient care himself rather than delegating to assistants.
For many teens, braces are a rite of passage: They're one more example of the changes adolescents go through at this time - along with growth in stature, edgier tastes in clothes and music, and an increasing degree of self-awareness. But is there any particular reason why orthodontic appliances and teenagers seem to go together?
