Dr. Kostas explains the procedures he intends to carry out in a manner that is easily understood. The team maintains a high standard of hygiene, wearing face masks and gloves, and sanitizing tools and equipment between patients. After two years of treatment and numerous clinic visits, I recently had my braces removed and am extremely pleased with the results.
