Where Excellence

meets Patient Priority.

technology and hours, GSO is an accredited 36-month orthodontic
specialty school for licensed dentists. This provides us with the highest

level of technology; and access to extensive orthodontic research,
which means that we are constantly innovating to make our

patients’ care better.
