We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is our reward and that this practice is a gift from Him. We seek to provide the highest quality orthodontic treatment in a sincere, enthusiastic and loving way to the individuals and families that entrust their care to us. We hope to exceed our patients' expectations by gratefully and joyfully treating them as we would our own families. We will continuously develop and maintain excellent, professional character and skill, the most up to date techniques and continue to provide the best care possible for every patient.
Activator/Monobloc
At our office, we see a lot of patients between 7-10 years of age who have an underdeveloped lower jaw and a severe overjet, a condition commonly known as “buck teeth”. Dr. Philipp uses an appliance that was developed in Europe to help modify the growth of the jaw. This appliance, called an activator or monobloc, is generally worn at night while sleeping, and if used consistently, in approximately one year will enable the growth of the lower jaw to catch up with that of the upper. This growth will significantly improve the profile of the patient and will result in a more normal bite and a more prominent chin. When used in a developing child, this will reduce the possibility of jaw surgery later in life.
