Parents and patients often come to us and say, But aren't braces just braces!. Unfortunately that is incorrect. There is a difference between a dentist who does orthodontics, such as a family dentist or children's dentist, and a specialist in orthodontics.
While it is legal for any dentist to perform orthodontic services, non-orthodontists have not had the additional 2-3 years of full-time specialty training that all dentists must have in order to legally and ethically call themselves an orthodontist.Dr. Guess completed his Orthodontic Residency training at the Ohio State University.

I came into Dr Guess's office around a bit more than a year ago with; an overbite, jaw pain, and a bad experience from a prior dentist. Now my teeth are amazingly straight, and my jaw pain is completely gone. Dr Guess is skilled at and passionate about dentistry. Several times I came in and, through his skill, my teeth had made enough progress to move onto the next step of treatment, but he asked me if I would be willing to delay a month because he wanted to do a minor adjustment that would make the end result even better. Also him and his team would make sure that I did not leave the office with

I had my teeth worked on by Dr.Guess 16 years ago. I had one tooth that was turned completely around and another tooth he had to anchor from the roof of my mouth. As far as teeth go mine were definitely a challenging set. If Dr. guess can give me an amazing smile I know he can do it for anyone! Even still today I can't believe the smile I now have. The staff is was also amazing!

Dr. Guess's office was the third place we had visited for a consultation. I immediately felt welcomed comfortable and confident in their work. I knew that they were the right fit for my family it was important to me to feel comfortable being that we would be in each other's lives for the next few years. The work they do is great the staff there is such a pleasure to see and talk to. They try their best to accommodate my work schedule, so I miss the least amount of time along with my daughter missing the least amount of school. Sometimes I would have to drop her off for her appointment, but I had

During the final months of treatment, our family moved from NC to CA. We found Dr. Guess through a recommendation from our NC orthodontist. Dr. Guess fit us into his schedule right away and continued with the treatment plan that we had started in NC. Dr. Guess has always been very thorough with his explanations and expectations. We are thrilled with the end results. Thank you to Dr. Guess and his friendly staff for welcoming us to CA and finishing Will's treatment in a successful manner.

Dr. Guess is awesome at what he does. My teeth have improved dramatically and I am only halfway done with my treatment. I can't wait until I can lick my front teeth with my tongue again and feel the smooth and crooked-free surface. His staff and office are amazing and you feel welcome as soon as you step inside. Although braces and invisalign are expensive anywhere you go, the office works with you to make it affordable with decent payment plans. After shopping around for orthodontists that provide both quality and affordability, I found that Dr. Guess provided the best of both.
