Personal Philosophy

Dr. Farrow possesses a progressive orthodontic philosophy, which agrees with that of many dentists, hygienists, adults and parents. It is important to her to keep all permanent teeth in most cases and use comfortable modalities to achieve functional and stable bites that last a lifetime.

With that said, she finds early orthodontic treatment in young children to be a real benefit. Capturing young children in the mix of dentition with permanent and baby teeth is the perfect time to make space and eliminate the need for permanent tooth extractions in most cases.

Since Dr. Farrow was an adult orthodontic patient herself, working with adults is of particular interest to her.

She relates and appreciates the resources her adult patients put forth to undergo this experience.

She finds great pleasure in giving adults a smile that’s both healthy and functional—a smile that creates amazing self-confidence and self-esteem.
