EXPERT
Dr. Nicholas A. Dahar
Orthodontist
Dr. Nicholas Dahar practices Orthodontics in Irwin, PA. Comprehensive orthodontic treatment includes state of the art self ligating orthodontic brackets, which can be made from stainless steel or a more aesthetic ceramic material. The wires interact with the brackets to move teeth into desired positions resulting in reduced appointments, total treatment time and most importantly pain. Being advanced in the field, Dr. Dahar may also use Invisalign or other aligner trays that have been designed to align a patient’s smile. As an orthodontist, Dr. Dahar must recognize various characteristics of a malocclusion or dentofacial deformity, define the nature of the problem, including the etiology if possible, and design a treatment strategy based on the specific needs and desires of the patient.
