Dr. Pearlman helped me straighten my teeth miraculously!!! I had fallen off a counter when I was 5, hitting my front teeth on the countertop, and the baby teeth pushed my adult teeth into an unnatural position, so that they were growing straight out. I got braces in 2nd grade, had them removed in 4th, wore a full-time retainer until 7th, and now only wear it at night. My teeth will never be fully straight, since I had braces at such a young age, several baby teeth were put in braces as well, which caused the teeth underneath to grow in a little crookedly. However, from the front it looks fine, and only a dentist and myself can see the crooked teeth. He is friendly, soothing, and extremely experienced. Wonderful orthodontist!
