Craniofacial Orthodontics
Dr. Nick serves as the Craniofacial Orthodontist for Hasbro/Rhode Island Hospital and Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University, focusing on patients with craniofacial abnormalities, such as cleft lip and palate, jaw deformities, facial asymmetries, and other congenital or acquired craniofacial conditions.
Dentofacial Orthopedics
Dentofacial orthopedics is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. The goal of dentofacial orthopedics is to achieve not only straight teeth, but also a balanced facial profile and harmonious dental and skeletal relationships.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a branch of dentistry that combines orthodontic treatment with corrective jaw surgery to address significant dental and skeletal irregularities. It is typically used for cases where orthodontic treatment alone cannot fully correct the functional and aesthetic issues.
TMJ
Orthodontic treatment can be used to correct Temporomandibular Dysfunction. By properly aligning the teeth and jaws, orthodontic treatment can help alleviate the strain on the TMJ, reduce symptoms, and improve overall jaw function.
Early Intervention
Early intervention orthodontics, also known as interceptive orthodontics or Phase I orthodontic treatment, refers to the early detection and treatment of orthodontic issues in children. It involves addressing orthodontic problems at an early age, typically during childhood, before all permanent teeth have erupted.
Airway Orthodontics
The primary goal of airway orthodontics is to optimize the airway passage and improve breathing function, particularly in individuals with obstructed or compromised airways. It recognizes that certain orthodontic and facial skeletal abnormalities can contribute to airway problems, such as sleep-disordered breathing, snoring, and obstructive sleep apnea.
