Our Philosophy of Treatment
A Comprehensive Approach to Lasting Results
At JMG Orthodontics, our philosophy is simple: a healthy, confident smile begins with balance. We don’t just focus on straightening teeth—we focus on how your teeth, jaws, and joints work together in harmony.
There are two ways your bite comes together: where your teeth fit best, and where your jaw joint sits most comfortably. Our goal is to align these two positions so that your bite feels natural, your jaw functions properly, and your smile looks its best for years to come.
To achieve this, we take extra steps in our diagnostic process. Using advanced records and an articulator—a device that simulates the natural movement of your jaw—Dr. Griffies carefully studies how your teeth and jaws work in motion. This allows him to design a treatment plan that ensures comfort, stability, and long-term success.
The Benefits of Our Approach Include:
A healthy, beautiful smile that lasts
A functional chewing system with properly aligned teeth and jaws
Strong periodontal health to protect your gums and bone structure
Balanced facial aesthetics and natural proportions
Improved TMJ health and comfort
Long-term stability of your results
This philosophy guides everything we do, helping patients achieve not only straighter teeth but also healthier, more confident lives.
