Why Choose Us

With an emphasis on preventive care, Dr. Matsumoto’s goal is to work with the body’s natural growth process to prevent conditions from developing, treating them efficiently before they create further difficulties.

Early Intervention

Intercepting orthodontic issues before they progress to a severe state is essential. Most orthodontic conditions are preventable – but only if addressed at the right time.

An orthodontic screening by age 7 can prevent vital challenges: airway issues, difficulty breathing & chewing, sleep disorders and our maxillary skeletal expander (MSE) offers a non-surgical solution to correct narrow jaws, ensuring optimal breathing, chewing, and overall oral health.
