If anyone tells you that you need jaw surgery or teeth pulled to straighten your or your child's teeth, fix an over- or underbite, or make room in a crowded mouth, go see Dr. Nussbaum first. He is one of those rare specialists practicing not just dentistry but gnathology (look it up). Dr. Nussbaum is gentle, patient, considerate, thoughtful, highly skilled, and a natural teacher who will spend as much time with you, the patient, as you need. His gentle, painless techniques reshape the jaw naturally using Crozat appliances, which appear to be the most important gadgets in the gnathologic toolbox. Go to the www.aago.com web site and click on "Consumers," then "Before and After," to see photos of people whose jaws were reshaped without surgery.
