Dr. Brian Chrzan has been involved in the practice of dentistry for over a decade. From teaching, authoring numerous articles in scientific journals, and running a successful private practice, Dr. Chrzan is very experienced in the field of orthodontics. Dr. Chrzan graduated from the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine in New York, where he received his Doctorate degree in Dental Surgery (D.D.S.). Subsequently, he completed a three-year orthodontics residency at the University at Buffalo. During this time, he also completed a Ph.D. in Oral Biology. After living and practicing orthodontics in New York for many years, Dr. Chrzan moved to Nevada to develop the post-graduate orthodontic program at UNLV.
Currently, Dr. Chrzan serves as a faculty member at the UNLV School of Dental Medicine teaching orthodontics. In today’s rapidly changing world of dentistry, it is difficult to be current with breakthrough technology or a new procedure. One of the ways Dr. Chrzan continually fine-tunes his knowledge is through his teaching and research at UNLV. He is then able to bring this knowledge to his patients. In fact, Dr. Chrzan’s opinion is frequently sought after by other orthodontists regarding difficult cases.
Dr. Chrzan is board certified in orthodontics, and is a member of the American Board of Orthodontics College of Diplomates. He is also a member of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), the American Dental Association (ADA), the International and American Associations of Dental Research, the Nevada Dental Association and the Southern Nevada Dental Society.
Dr. Chrzan strives to give each patient the best possible experience at every visit. He is committed to giving his patients the personal attention necessary to make them feel comfortable and welcomed. Our orthodontic team values overall health and especially a full, bright smile and a solid bite. Our mission is to provide this for our patients in a way as uplifting and rewarding as the smile we are creating together. We believe in the power of a beautiful smile!
Orthodontics is not age restrictive. Our practice includes patients of all ages. We have seen children as early as age five and are treating adult patients in their sixties. As a rule, the earlier a problem is treated, the more options there are available for treatment. Although teeth can be straightened at any age, growth and development of a child's face and jaws can be used to enhance treatment goals. We recommend seeing children for an initial evaluation at seven or eight years of age and encourage adults not to wait until either pain or embarrassment forces them to seek care.
Modern orthodontics provides treatment that is more comfortable and also more cosmetically discreet than in the past. Dr. Chrzan prides himself in using the latest and most effective appliances available. There are several types that we will show you, including Invisalign, clear ceramic, mini braces and invisible retainers.
Reasons for seeking orthodontic care are varied. We find most people want a smile that makes them feel good about themselves, and a bite that is comfortable and healthy.
