A WONDERFUL Experience
We originally went to a different orthodontist with my first son where we were misinformed and had a nightmare experience. We changed to Dr. Lawrence and had a WONDERFUL experience for both my boys. Straightforward service. Super friendly staff. Their expertise is second to none. Would highly recommend!

Your Mentor, OH Orthodontist
Meet Dr. Ken Lawrence
Dr. Lawrence’s philosophy is to employ techniques that minimize the possibility of permanent tooth removal. These techniques must also maximize aesthetics of the smile and face, and function of the teeth and jaws. He is adamant that if he would not use a particular appliance or apparatus on his wife or children, he will not use it for his patients. Dr. Lawrence uses this same criteria in evaluating all treatment techniques, including orthodontic and TMD treatment.
