The Caruso difference
What makes Caruso Orthodontics different?
At Caruso Orthodontics, our philosophy is simple: we treat every patient the way we would treat a member of our own family.
We believe exceptional orthodontic care combines experience, advanced technology and, most importantly, a genuine relationship with every patient we treat.
Dr. Caruso and Dr. Micaroni are both Board Certified orthodontic specialists who completed an additional two years of orthodontic specialty training following dental school. They bring that specialized knowledge and experience to every treatment plan.
Advanced tools, guided by specialists
- iTero® digital intraoral scanning
- Empower® low-friction self-ligating braces
- Invisalign® clear aligner therapy
- Digital and cone beam 3D imaging
- 3D-printed models and orthodontic appliances
- AI-assisted diagnostic and treatment-planning software
Technology, however, is only a tool. It is the combination of advanced technology with the experience and judgment of a specialist that allows us to provide truly individualized care.
Our ultimate goal is not simply straight teeth. We strive to create beautiful smiles, stable bites and healthy jaw relationships designed to help our patients maintain their smiles for a lifetime.
Most importantly, we want every patient to feel that they are being cared for by a team that genuinely has their best interests at heart.
