About Orthodontics
Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that specializes in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. Orthodontics can boost a person's self-image as the teeth, jaws and lips become properly aligned. But an attractive smile is just one of the benefits of orthodontic treatment. Proper orthodontic treatment can help to prevent tooth decay, gum disease, bone destruction, chewing, airway and digestive disorders.
More than any dental specialty, orthodontics requires a team effort from everyone involved - parents, patient, orthodontist, and staff. Many orthodontic problems are quite complex, involving the growth patterns of the face as well as misaligned teeth. Orthodontists have undergone two to three additional years of university-based postdoctoral residency training in order to learn the special skills required to manage the complexities of orthodontic treatment.
Philosophy/Mission
Orthodontic Excellence
Treat the WHOLE FACE, not just the teeth-Dr. Minars and staff believes that orthodontic problems involve more than just teeth, so we look at the whole face when treating our patients. Tooth and jaw problems can be corrected so that everyone can be proud of their teeth and smile.
Team Work
As orthodontists in Florida,
Dr. Minars believes that orthodontic treatment involves teamwork and everyone is a member of the team. Dr. Minars, the front office staff, the treatment coordinators, the orthodontic assistants, the patient's family, and of course, THE PATIENT! In fact, the patient is the star player on this team. Everyone works together to achieve the desired end result-a beautiful, healthy smile that is yours for a lifetime.
Personalized Attention
Dr. Minars will personally see the patient during each visit. He will conduct an exam and discuss how the orthodontic treatment is progressing. Dr. Minars believe in a "hands on" approach to orthodontic care and he will never be too busy to spend the necessary time needed to achieve that beautiful smile.
Friendly Atmosphere
From the first to the last visit, we want you to experience a patient-friendly, casual atmosphere that makes the patient feel comfortable and at ease. Our office is designed with the patient in mind. Simply put, our home is your home.
Mission
Our goal is a beautiful smile that not only improves appearance but also self-esteem. Through the use of state of the art techniques, effective communication, and personal attention, we will ensure that this goal is accomplished.
