Published Author
In 2017, Dr. James Crouse published a comprehensive orthodontic guidebook entitled, “A Smile to Change Your Life: A Guidebook to Orthodontic Care.”
Recognizing the anxiety and fear many individuals have when it comes to visiting the dentist or orthodontist, Dr. Crouse decided to write this book in order to give people a better understanding of what they can expect when they visit an orthodontist. There are many misconceptions regarding orthodontic treatment such as braces are only for teenagers, they are only for improving appearance, and treatment takes several years. That’s just not the case today. In “A Smile to Change Your Life”, you will learn everything you need to know if you have a child with crooked teeth or if you are considering treatment for yourself.
