Dual Trained Orthodontist and Periodontist
As an orthodontist, the FACE4D philosophy embodies a holistic approach to oral health that goes beyond straightening teeth. It emphasizes the importance of airway health and oral motor function. It helps us create a dental and skeletal framework for proper lip seal, and promotes proper occlusion, periodontal stability, and joint stability. Integrating skeletal expansion for kids and adults (including MARPEs) allows us to optimize the transverse dimension, allowing us to center the teeth in the bone. This creates tongue space, widens the nasal floor, improves the airway space, and creates broad and beautiful smiles. By integrating these elements, we as clinicians can enhance both the function and the aesthetics for our patients, contributing to their overall wellness and longevity. FACE4D’s interdisciplinary approach aligns with my commitment to achieving not only beautiful smiles, but also long-lasting healthy outcomes for my patients.

Fellow of the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry
The continued development of the soft-tissue paradigm means that we look at our patients in a different way than we did in the past. The interdisciplinary team has expanded beyond all phases of dentistry, and includes medical specialties such as ENT, facial soft-tissue surgeons for facial enhancement and when combined with orthodontics and contemporary oral and maxillofacial surgery, truly spectacular esthetic and functional outcomes may be reached. Follow this fascinating journey from the past to the present and look forward to what is possible in the future with FACE4D!

Creator of FAS-FACE Aligner System
The FACE4D philosophy is above all the desire to bring all medical specialties together. Over the years dentistry has shifted away from the medical profession and has become increasingly isolated. Behind every set of teeth is an entire stomatognathic system that deserves attention but has been neglected. In segregating from the medical field, the dental industry has overlooked many important areas of the system such as airway, muscles, joints, ligaments, skin, and the cervical column. FACE4D aspires to bring dentistry back to the medical field by partnering specialists from both fields to give our patients much more than just aligning teeth.

Specialist in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics
Technological advances have inspired the dental world to raise quality and also challenge the classic therapeutic concept.
FACE4D is a method that relies on the latest dynamic diagnostic technologies and the highest treatment standards to provide excellent solutions to our patients.
Orthodontic treatment with aligners has greatly improved in predictability thanks to the FACE4D concept. This means stable results in minimal treatment time. FACE4D allows for a multidisciplinary approach to treatment, enhancing therapeutic possibilities in both simple and complex cases.

Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics
Interdisciplinary Dentistry has been a complex concept since its popularization in the 1980s. Only a few teams have successfully implemented it due to the challenges of effectively collaborating across diverse specialized knowledge and techniques. Comprehensive philosophies, such as "Interdisciplinary Dentofacial Therapy" (IDT), developed nearly 38 years ago, have helped address many of these challenges. Since then, numerous exciting and transformative advancements have significantly evolved interdisciplinary therapy. Today, dental teams are increasingly partnering with their medical counterparts, focusing on airway health to enhance the quality and quantity of patients' lives. Individual team members are becoming digitally empowered, improving diagnosis, treatment planning, patient education, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
