I am a 31 yo who had had braces as a teenager. I went to Dr. Shanker based on recs from others and have been very happy. Instead of trying to fit me with expensive braces, he is trying to work with a special retainer in hopes that will take care of things. Also, I have jaw clicking and instead of recommending costly and painful surgery, he recommended an easy to do exercise that has done wonders. Not to mention the office is a fun, vibrant environment and the staff truly loves working there. It's GREAT for kids - each station has a TV and there are monthly contests. They actually don't mind going to the orthodontist!!
