I had always wanted a straighter, more beautiful smile, so I finally decided to do it! My situation was too advanced for Invisalign, so we chose to do traditional braces.

My orthodontic experience was way easier than I ever thought. Dr. Kate, Dr. Guest and their assistant, Heather, were gentle throughout the entire process. They also kept me informed about the progress I had made and how much time I had left! Halfway through my orthodontics, I had my baby tooth removed and and implant placed! Even THAT was easy!

I don't even know it's there because it looks great and functions just like a natural tooth! The best part about my implant was that it was completely painless, there was NO recovery time, and the entire procedure took less than an hour! I'm really happy with the final result and I try to tell everyone I know to come to New Horizons for Orthodontics because the service, professionalism and final results just can't be beat!"

Not happy with the gaps in her smile and the misalignment of her teeth, Adrienne rarely smiled and was self-conscious of how her smile looked. She wanted to straighten her bottom teeth, and not have any teeth overlapping.

“The team at New Horizons was always really friendly, and took the time to get to know me as my treatment progressed. They really worked with me to understand and get the result I wanted – I even got my braces off in time for prom! Since my braces were removed, I feel more confident with everything. Having a straighter smile helps me feel like I can talk to people more at my after-school job where I deal directly with clients. I feel more comfortable laughing and talking with them. New Horizons is definitely the best place to go!”

Adrienne is a vibrant young woman, whose confidence was restored with her orthodontic treatment, and now she never stops smiling!

Unfortunately, rather than having a positive experience and a plan to follow, the Hoshaws left the office disheartened and feeling like they had somehow been at fault for not taking steps earlier. Derek resigned himself to the fact that he would live like this for the rest of his life.

When Derek first came to New Horizons, he had a large space up front, 2 baby teeth still remaining, and an impacted upper tooth slanted sideways. During a routine visit, Dr. Guy Gross planted the seed that he could make Derek look great. Derek began pondering the thought. His wedding was coming up and he knew his fiancé would love pictures of him standing front and center with a big smile on his face. Having full confidence in Dr. Guy, Dr. Kate and the entire New Horizons team, Derek took the first step with braces, timed to be removed just before the wedding. Completing his full smile makeover in the comfortable surroundings at New Horizons, Derek had his baby teeth removed, dental implants placed to fill the spaces, and porcelain veneers.

Now, Derek feels like a completely different person. He even had to retrain his muscles to smile, it had been so long. Now, in addition to showing his beautiful smile, he even carries himself differently and says that “it was definitely a life-changing experience.”

gap between his front teeth, but in general he didn't particularly mind the appearance of his smile. Because it's important to us that we ensure our patients absolutely love their smiles, we took the time to get to know Garett, and we talked to him about the gap a little more. We found out that prior to coming to New Horizons, Garett was told, "If I got my teeth fixed so the gap would go away, most likely it would start to come back over time." After our thorough examination of Garett's smile, we assured him that we could fix the gap, permanently, without risk of it returning. In fact, we explained to him that we could fix both the cosmetic and functional problems at once with traditional braces, wisdom teeth extractions and bonding. In Garett's words, "The doctors and staff made me feel that I'd been a patient of theirs for a long time and that they knew me and knew what I wanted - and that made me feel at ease and at home. New Horizons made me feel I was special, and not just another patient coming in the door."

We are as delighted as Garett is with the results! Here's how Garett sums it up, "Now people tell me when I'm out having a good time, 'Garett, you have a really nice smile,' which makes me smile even more." If you, or someone you know, is suffering from pain from malalignment of teeth or has unsightly spaces or gaps between their teeth, please give us a call. We'd love to help you, like we helped Garrett!
