Dentofacial Orthopedics
You may have noticed that our doctor specializes in “orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics.” While most people have heard of orthodontics, many are confused by the dentofacial orthopedics part of the title.
Drs. Gilman and Yillian specialize in “orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics”. Dentofacial orthopedics is one of the nine specialties sanctioned by the American Dental Association. This specialty focuses on guiding facial growth and development. Meanwhile, orthodontics focuses on managing tooth movement.
Our doctors are experts in both areas of the specialty, they integrate their knowledge into treatment plans to create a result that is balanced and aesthetically pleasing.
