I just had my braces removed after a two year adventure in having braces as an older adult. My teeth look very, very good! I was motivated to have my teeth straightened because I could not think of anything worse than not having my own teeth as I grow older. Orthodontists seems to charge about the same rate no matter how good (or bad) they are so I opted for the one who is clinical faculty for the ENT department at UCD and who my regular dentist and periodontist recommended...as did their staff. Dr Evrigenis has a well run professional office...everyone is obviously happy at work and has consistantly high skills both individually and as a team. I did not have insurance coverage for braces...few adults do...I expected a great deal of personal attention and I received it. I had no problems with having a mouthful of metal because of the staff's attention to detail. I would certainly urge people who are in need of orthodonture for themselves or their family to call this office and really interview them. I sincerely believe that there is no one else in the Sacramento region who can make braces as good experience as his office has done for me
