Both doctors are active members of the American Association of Orthodontists and the Minnesota Dental Association, continuously pursuing continuing education to stay updated on the latest techniques and treatments. Gaalaas Orthodontics offers a comprehensive range of orthodontic services for patients of all ages, from children to adults. Their services include initial oral examinations and consultations, orthodontic treatment for children addressing issues like crowding and bite discrepancies, and orthodontic treatment for adults which can correct problems such as tooth loss and degradation of supporting structures. They provide traditional braces, which are fixed appliances, as well as clear aligner therapy, such as Invisalign®, a discreet and removable option. For more complex cases involving jaw relationships, they collaborate with oral surgeons for orthognathic surgery. The philosophy of Gaalaas Orthodontics centers on providing personalized, high-quality care in a friendly and patient-centered environment. They emphasize educating their patients about their treatment options and collaborating with their general dentists for integrated care. They strive to meet individual patient goals and are committed to creating healthy, beautiful smiles for the entire family. While specific patient reviews were not extensively detailed in the search results beyond a general positive sentiment for similar practices, their long-standing presence and family practice model suggest a strong community focus and commitment to patient satisfaction.
