Experience: Choose Experience, Get Results
- Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Our staff will keep you informed about your treatment so that you understand the orthodontic goals every step of the way.
- Dr. Musgrave has been an orthodontist for over 30 years and chooses to do the right treatment, at the right time, to create beautiful smiles. The majority of our cases are treated conservatively, often without the removal of permanent teeth. Also, Dr. Musgrave treats many patients non-surgically after jaw surgery was recommended by others to correct their bite.
- Dr. Musgrave is a board certified orthodontist who utilizes new technologies yet knows how to implement the “tried and true” methods of the past. Achieving a great smile orthodontically requires more than just placing brackets and prefabricated wires to align the teeth. Rather, it requires consistent, detailed observation of the patient’s teeth to move them into just the right place–having the mindset of treating the whole face for profile considerations–to obtain the best esthetic result possible, not just “lining up” teeth.
- Dr. Musgrave spent a year treating only patients with TMJ (jaw joint) problems at the Eastman Dental Center in Rochester NY. Here he studied the imaging modalities of MRI, Arthrography, and CT from world experts in TMJ diagnosis and treatment. He received his certificate in TMJ Disorders and Orofacial Pain in 1990. Dr. Musgrave has successively treated hundreds of patients relieving them of their TMJ and facial pain
Environment: Choose Comfort, Be Relaxed
- Our orthodontic practice in Delaware and Waldo is known for its friendly, comfortable, and welcoming atmosphere. Many businesses nowadays are being controlled by corporations, which often results in a rather cold, impersonal experience. Our office takes pride in providing excellent orthodontic treatment in a more pleasant way.
- We offer free initial orthodontic consultations. A thorough and honest explanation of the patient’s dental situation is given in an easily understandable manner. By the end of the orthodontic examination, the patient / parent will understand what needs to be done to complete treatment. It is guaranteed that we will not rattle a mirror in the mouth and say . . . “Yes, you need braces.”
- Our staff members are very nice and welcoming — people you can trust. In fact, the entire staff has had orthodontic treatment so they know how it feels to have braces and can be more compassionate to provide you with better care.
