Convenience

We call Larkspur Landing home, which is the site of the former Old Hutchison Gravel Quarry where movie classic Dirty Harry was filmed. Now the site has been converted into the popular, thriving, family-friendly open air atmosphere of the Marin Country Mart which draws people from all over the San Francisco Bay Area for its Farmer’s Market, great restaurants, exercise classes, live music and shopping. Our office is located in the professional building directly across the street from the Marin Country Mart.

Our office serves, but is not limited to:

    • Larkspur
    • Greenbrae
    • San Rafael

We Offer Virtual Appointments!

Our patients know us for our early adoption of orthodontic technology and techniques to provide the most patient-friendly, comfortable, efficient, and effective orthodontic treatment experience possible. We are therefore excited to announce that many of your orthodontic appointments can now be conducted virtually!

For our Invisalign patients: Our Dental Monitoring  and Invisalign Virtual Care programs combined with our team’s extensive Invisalign expertise enable us to monitor the fit of your Invisalign aligners remotely. These programs analyze images of your teeth to help us compare your current alignment to the expected position of your teeth, evaluate your bite, and give you regular feedback about whether you are ready to move forward in your aligner sequence. If you have not yet signed up for our virtual monitoring programs, please text us at (415) 459-8006 with the best email and mobile number to get you started. If you are nearing the end of your final few aligners, please email updated photos https://marinortho.com/taking-photos-your-teeth-tutorial/ to [email protected]. Ask questions directly in the email and/or follow up with an existing patient virtual consultation https://marinortho.appointlet.com/ . You can also text/call us at 415-459-8006 to book the virtual consultation. This video appointment will be to discuss any further goals for your Invisalign treatment and answer questions.

For our braces patients: The personalized care and attention our practice has always been known for is now available to you at home. All our doctors are available via email to evaluate how your tooth alignment and bite correction look and how you’re doing with your rubber bands. If you’re a patient between Phase I and Phase II or done with treatment, we’d be happy to evaluate  how your adult teeth are coming in and/or how your retainers are fitting. Finally, if you are one of our youngest patients with a palatal expander, we’d love to see how the turning is coming along!

Age

The American Association of Orthodontics recommends that every child is screened by an orthodontist at age 7. For children who have significant jaw discrepancies or severe crowding, early treatment is the only way to achieve an optimal final result long term and to minimize the need for jaw surgery.

In our office, we prefer to offer early treatment to those patients who have a functional need for it, unless the family has a specific aesthetic concern they feel cannot wait. For many years, the total percentage of patients in our office undergoing early intervention has hovered at a low 20 to 30% of our total patients. While many young patients think braces are fun, they are one more thing to brush around!
