As a child, Dr. Gajda himself underwent orthodontic treatment. He was both amazed and intrigued by his treatment and the care provided by his orthodontist. He knew at a young age that this was something he wanted to do as a professional. His personal experience was the seed that led him to where he is today.
We understand that the decision to invest in orthodontic care for yourself or your child is significant and certainly not made lightly. That is why we take pride in what we call the NDS Difference: Our commitment to providing caring, family-friendly treatment for each of our patients, from the first visit to the last.
The American Association of Orthodontics (AAO) recommends that a child's initial orthodontic evaluation occur at the first sign of orthodontic problems or no later than age 7. This age is the optimal time for screenings because the first adult molars have erupted, establishing the back bite, and the orthodontist can evaluate the front-to-back and side-to-side tooth relationships and positions.

So impressed by NDS! After our own dentist office didn't make it clear why they were recommending braces for our daughter & then asked for $275 to discuss our options I decided to ask around to help me decide what to do. A friend referred us to NDS & I understand why! We just had the most educational & thorough consult w/ Dr.Gajda & Julie! I seriously feel like I understand braces now & don't feel like I just received a high pressure sale pitch! Thank you NDS for taking the fear of braces away!

This practice is a wonderful place to "have" to go to. The staff are exceptionally friendly and sweet. The waiting area has two regular size comfy couches or regular waiting room chairs and a nice nook for the kids to play in and write on the blackboard painted walls. Dr. Gada is very professional and has great bedside manner. He is knowledgable and freely answers questions.
