Since 1985, our practice has specialized in creating the Wafelbakker smile, a term coined by patients to describe the wide, youthful, and aesthetically pleasing results achieved through our three-point process: avoiding tooth extraction, ensuring full display of upper teeth, and aligning the smile arc with the lower lip. Our team, led by Dr. Bas Wafelbakker and Dr. Chris Anderson with 55 combined years of experience, utilizes cutting-edge modalities like the Multiloop Edgewise Archwire (MEAW) technique to correct severe misalignments without surgery.We prioritize patient comfort, offering a family-friendly environment across our four offices in Morgan Hill, Gilroy, Hollister, and Walnut Creek.

Services
Children's Orthodontics
Specialized orthodontic treatment for children ensures proper dental development and jaw alignment. Our team addresses early signs of misalignment, breathing issues, and bite problems using gentle, child-friendly techniques. Early intervention prevents future complications and promotes lifelong oral health.
Braces
Comprehensive braces solutions correct crooked teeth, gaps, and jaw misalignments. We offer traditional metal braces and modern alternatives tailored to patient needs. Treatment improves both aesthetics and functional oral health, reducing risks of TMJ disorders and digestive issues.
Invisalign
Invisalign provides a discreet alternative to traditional braces using custom clear aligners. This treatment straightens teeth and corrects bite issues without metal brackets, offering convenience and aesthetic benefits for teens and adults.
MEAW Treatment
The Multiloop Edgewise Archwire (MEAW) technique corrects severe jaw misalignments without surgery. This specialized method uses customized wires to reposition jaws, avoiding extraction or invasive procedures. Most patients achieve results within 18-24 months.
Retainers
Custom retainers maintain orthodontic results by preventing teeth from shifting. We offer fixed and removable options, including clear aligners similar to Invisalign. Proper retainer use ensures long-term stability of your corrected smile.
