Out of 100 dental school graduates, on average, only six go on to become orthodontists. To practice orthodontics, Dr. Cowan spent 11 years in training (four years of college, four years of dental school, and three years of orthodontics residency). The orthodontic student spends three years learning the skills needed to manage tooth movement and to guide facial development. This training allows with Dr. Cowan’s commitment to personalized treatment means that you’ll get the best smile possible. Not only is he an expert, but Dr. Cowan even teaches other orthodontists! Personalized Service From the moment you contact our office to your final retainer check appointment, our goal is your complete satisfaction. Dr. Cowan will review your photos and X-rays to find the best way to treat your individual needs. Then you’ll choose the type of braces you want. Our goal is not just to give you the smile of your dreams, but we want you to leave our office after every appointment knowing that you got the best possible care. Comfortable Treatments Gone are the days of painful headgear, clunky bands on every tooth, and overly tight stainless steel wires. Today's orthodontic treatment is much more comfortable than it used to be. This is because of shape-memory NiTi wires. With the same technology that NASA uses, NiTi wires exert a continuous force against the teeth to move them in the right direction. This gets rid of the need for wire tightening. This means you spend less time in braces, and the time you do spend is more comfortable. At Cowan & Whitaker Orthodontics, we want your journey to a straight smile as comfortable as possible.
