- Multidisciplinary Thinking: Complex cases require collaboration — Dr. Fang works closely with oral surgeons, periodontists, prosthodontists, and TMJ specialists to achieve optimal outcomes.
- Long-term Stability: Treatment planning prioritizes long-term stability and retention — not just achieving straight teeth, but keeping them straight for life.
