Collecting, Using, and Sharing Your Information
We collect information that you choose to provide through website forms, emails, or direct contact. This information is under our sole ownership and is never sold or distributed.
We use your information primarily to respond to your inquiries, schedule and confirm appointments, process billing, and provide quality orthodontic care. We only share your information with entities outside our organization when necessary to deliver these services or as required by law.

- Request deletion of your personal data, where permitted by law
- Manage your communication preferences with us
Please contact our office directly to exercise these rights.
Our Approach to Data Security
We take administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to secure your information. While we prioritize protection, no system is entirely risk-free. For that reason, we discourage sending highly sensitive details (like Social Security numbers) through online forms.
