When a patient becomes a part of our practice, we feel a responsibility to the entire family. We provide a free orthodontic examination for everyone in the family. We see patients at all ages and prefer to do an initial exam at age seven when the permanent teeth are starting to erupt. Early treatment can often minimize future orthodontic problems and maximize our treatment results. Even Mom and Dad may have problems that they are concerned about, that may not have been addressed at an earlier age or are a result of that awful hassle called relapse. There is no obligation on your part to have treatment, it is just our way to let you know that we care about all your smiles. If we can be of service to any other member of the family, please call to make an exam appointment soon.

Sincerely,
Dr. Bob Portenga & Staff
