Orthodontics
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry specializing in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of jaw, face and bite irregularities (malocclusions*). Orthodontic treatment is provided by an oral health care provider known as an orthodontist, who has completed two to three years of additional training beyond dental school.
Recent years have brought about many changes within the dental industry, specifically with regards to orthodontic treatment and care. Now more than ever patients are experiencing fewer incidences of cavities and missing teeth due to the heightened awareness of fluoride use and preventative dentistry. This increasing awareness on the health and look of a patient’s smile has fueled the desire for many to seek out orthodontia not only as a medical necessity, but for cosmetic reasons as well.
Whether it’s traditional braces or custom made removable appliances, orthodontics can help you have the healthy, straight, beautiful smile you’ve been waiting for!

*Malocclusion is the technical term for teeth that don’t fit together correctly. Malocclusions not only affect the teeth, but also the appearance of the face. Most malocclusions are inherited; however some are due to acquired habits such as thumb sucking and tongue thrusting. The spacing left from an adult tooth being extracted or an early loss of a baby tooth can also contribute to a malocclusion.

Testimonials
"MK Dental office was recommended by a friend and Dr. Minasyan has not only lived up to, but exceeded all my expectations. He’s incredibly thorough yet gentle, honest and direct yet caring. Most importantly- he’s very efficient and trustworthy - so much so that I’ve sent all my family members to him for all their dental work. Thanks so much for taking care of us"
"The staff and the Dr. Minasyan are all super professional and efficient. I had several cavities and needed to keep the appointment on the shorter side, and Dr. completed all of them so quickly but carefully, while ensuring that I was thoroughly numbed and pain free. I would definitely trust this team for any other procedures/ dental needs!"
"If you're looking for COMFORT, QUALITY and THOROUGHNESS from your dental physician...you've come to the right place. We initially found Dr. Minasyan on Groupon for a routine teeth cleaning and exam. Dr. Minasyan and Michael were excellent. They were kind, thorough, informative, honest and fairly priced. We will be coming back for other work. (Just look at those pearly whites and healthy gums!)"
"Just left the MK dental office and I’ve never been more satisfied. Kharen is one of the most conscientious, funny, gentle dentists I’ve ever met. This is coming from a dental chicken. I also got an old-school dental cleaning which was very thorough and will never compare to a laser cleaning in my opinion. Highly recommended!"
