Jan Yamashiro, DDS - YAMASHIRO ORTHODONTICS
For busy families on the go, we offer same-day orthodontic consultations, where we perform an exam and review your diagnosis and treatment plan, along with an estimate of your financial costs. We also offer a complimentary insurance benefits check if your insurance information is received before 12 noon. You will learn about your orthodontic needs and recommended treatment options. If you want to maximize the time you save, we can even take your diagnostic imaging and get you started with treatment on the same day.

4. How many years of experience do you have and what did you learn from that?
Jan Yamashiro, DDS - YAMASHIRO ORTHODONTICS
With over 17 years of experience in the field, I've learned to treat every case individually because everyone's goals and expectations can be completely different, and ultimately I'm treating the whole individual, rather than just their teeth. So even though we have our set criteria for how teeth are supposed to fit and function properly, we individualize each person's plan to match their goals and how they want to get there.
