Our Concept
When somebody asks me, "what is the most important thing in Orthodontic treatment?" from my -year clinical experience, I would say to stabilize the position of the lower jaw and to establish healthy left and right temporomandibular joints (TMJ).The appearance of the face is greatly influenced by the position of the lower jaw, the position of the teeth, and the placement of chin, so it is important to decide the treatment method well before starting treatment. Focusing on the face and TMJ, and aligning the teeth accordingly, this is the orthodontic treatment that our clinic aims for.
Director’s Greeting
Hello. I am Kazumi Ikeda, the director of Hillside View Orthodontic Office.
I am very happy to be in this profession because I've been so impressed by the wonderfulness of orthodontic treatment. Shortly after I enrolled in the Department of Orthodontics at the University of Pennsylvania, Professor Buchin said to the six of us graduate students during our first class; "You've chosen the most wonderful profession in the world."
Now I realize the meaning of those words.
What a wonderful world of orthodontics!
