Your First Orthodontic Appointment in Royal Oak, MI Will Be Exceptional
It seems like at least one member of every family has orthodontic issues, whether it’s a few crooked teeth or a severely misaligned bite. The first orthodontic appointment in Royal Oak is especially important, and our board-certified orthodontist will ensure it goes well.

Well, yeah. I never had braces growing up unfortunately. So I knew as I got older that I have to fix this, because all my friends had nice teeth and I needed to fix my smile up too. And I started caring a lot more about my dental health. Just from there I kind of started seeing that it's time for me to finally take action and even though I'm a little older, I was 22 at the time, I just felt like it was the right time. And I did that and looking back on it now, I'm just so happy that I did, because it gives me more confidence now. I have a nicer smile and you know, my teeth look like the way they should and it's just healthier too.
I felt at home here and this was the place I wanted to be. Dr. Essayan was my orthodontist and he was just such a knowledgeable guy and I just knew that he was the one that was going to help get me to where I want to be. I don't really always feel like I'm in a dentist's office or something, I'm just here with like friends, I guess you'd say. He just let me know from the beginning he wasn't out there just to get another customer, he was very open and honest. He cared more about being real and honest with me than anything and I really respected that.
North Oaks Dental is definitely the place to be. It's very open, it's very honest and they're very loyal to their customers. And I have honestly recommended all of my friends, not just some of them, all my friends. Even if it's not for braces, just for a cleaning. I always recommend this location specifically, because they are great here and I cannot recommend them enough. If I had to do it all over again, I would 100% come back here and do it all over again.

Get Started on Your New Smile, No Matter Your Age
It’s best to bring your child for an initial exam at North Oaks Dental around age 7 so our orthodontist can evaluate them for crossbite, crowding, and other issues. With early intervention, we can prevent such issues from turning into major problems and reduce the length of time – and expense – that may be needed for orthodontic treatment.
We can help adults too, of course! In fact, in some ways orthodontics for adults is easier because your jaw is no longer growing. And with inconspicuous options like Invisalign® or clear ceramic braces, there are no worries about feeling self-conscious while straightening your teeth.
Enjoy Other Cosmetic Dental Treatments to Brighten Your Smile
With a straighter smile, you may want to make other improvements as well. You can choose from cosmetic dental treatments like:
- Teeth Whitening
- Dental Veneers
- Gum Reshaping
- Gum Recession Treatment
No matter which services you get, you can relax in our chair. We provide access to headphones and Pandora Internet Radio so you can listen to music while your dentist works.
