The orthodontist treating craniofacial problems serves as a structural diagnostician and practitioner, guiding the growth of the jaws and their ultimate relationship with the teeth. Orthodontic care is required prior to most surgical procedures associated with craniofacial anomalies. Excellent communication and coordination with the craniofacial surgeon is essential to optimize treatment results. Dr. Arigo’s training, experience, and strong integration into the community gives him the ability to coordinate long-term orthodontic care for our patients. It is his commitment to quality orthodontic care that makes Dr. Arigo a great asset to our team.
