Dr. Simons’ advanced training through the Roth Williams Education Program sets her apart.
This specialized approach focuses not only on straightening teeth, but also on aligning the bite to support healthy jaw joints (TMJ) and facial muscles.
Before creating a customized treatment plan, a Roth-trained orthodontist carefully reviews diagnostic records. When needed, study models are mounted on an articulator to analyze how the teeth and jaw joint work together.
Treatment is often timed around the eruption of 12-year molars, which influence jaw function. In some cases, earlier care is recommended to prevent more serious issues later on.
Dr. O’Friel was introduced to Roth orthodontic techniques during her residency at LSU and has further refined her skills while working alongside Dr. Simons. She is committed to continuing the legacy of Dr. Walsh and Dr. Simons by creating beautiful smiles through trusted, proven orthodontic methods.
Dr. Simons and Dr. O’Friel are committed to providing modern, cutting-edge orthodontic care. As certified Invisalign and Clarity aligner providers, they offer aligner therapy as a key treatment option. For patients choosing traditional braces, they use advanced indirect bonding techniques with both metal and ceramic brackets—enhancing patient comfort and efficiency during initial appointments. You will be amazed at how fast and accurate braces are placed on your teeth.
Dr. Simons and Dr. O’Friel carefully evaluate each case individually, developing personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs. No two smiles are alike, and they take the time to ensure every detail is thoughtfully planned—helping you achieve your best possible smile.
