For younger patients, early orthodontic evaluation can help identify opportunities to guide development and create space before certain concerns become more complex. It is important to Dr. Farrow to look at the whole child—not just the teeth. She considers facial balance, jaw development as well as esthetic appearance.
Dr. Farrow also has a special connection with adult patients because she went through orthodontic treatment as an adult herself. She understands the time, commitment, and investment involved and works to make the experience as comfortable and worthwhile as possible.
Every adult smile has a unique history and her goal is to deliver a result that can positively influence how an adult looks, feels and carries themselves.
Beyond the Smile
For Dr. Farrow, one of the best parts of orthodontics is getting to know the people behind the smiles.
She considers it a privilege to get to know each patient and family, celebrate their milestones, and be part of a transformation that can positively impact a lifetime. She has built a team that shares her commitment to genuine relationships, thoughtful care, and making orthodontic visits something patients can actually enjoy.
