Evidence-Based Treatment

Evidence-based treatment means that procedures and techniques used in our office are based on the most scientifically valid research results available. While this may sound simple, much orthodontic treatment performed today is based on opinions of popular orthodontic speakers. Much of this opinion has not been subjected to the scrutiny of rigorous clinical studies.

While the specialty of Orthodontics as a whole has just recently tried to emulate the type of evidence-based clinical decisions that the medical community has been using for decades, Dr. Bobak has been an evidence-based practitioner his entire career.

The patient benifits of evidence-based practice include a potential reduction in treatment time and associated expenses, because procedures that have not been scientifically shown to benifit the patient are not routinely performed in our office.

Dr. Bobak’s services include children’s orthodontics, adolescent orthodontics and adult orthodontics. He uses several treatment methods, including Invisalign clear aligners, ClearCorrect clear braces and traditional metal braces.
