Science-Driven Approach with Thoughtful Touch
Dr. Sawhney was so obsessed with orthodontics, he did a PhD in how teeth move and what makes them stay put. He loves new technology, but is trained to figure out which new gadgets and gizmos actually work, and which are a waste of your precious time and money. At Tusk, you'll find evidence-based tools and practices, carefully chosen to optimize results, increase safety and comfort for you or your child, and to reduce missed school, work, and life.
