Our practice has called the beach cities of El Segundo and Manhattan Beach, CA home for over 50 years. Originally established by Dr. James Duffin in 1967, the practice was expanded to include Dr. Michael Adams in 1977 and Dr. Amy Gimlen in 2006. Our endurance and reputation has allowed us to stay in touch with our patients long after their orthodontic treatment is completed, and enabled us to treat second and even third generation family members.

Dr. Gimlen has a unique blend of training from some of the top nationally recognized clinical orthodontic programs and decades of treatment experience.

ABO Certification

Report

The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) was founded in 1929. It is the oldest and most prestigious specialty board in dentistry. The ABO's aim is to elevate the standards of the practice of orthodontia, to familiarize the public with its aim and ideals, and to protect the public against irresponsible and unqualified practitioners.

What Sets Us Apart

Report

We get asked, why can't my dentist do my orthodontic treatment? Your dentist could "do" orthodontics, just like your family physician could "do" surgery. However; everyone would probably agree that as much as you like your family physician, you'd prefer to have a surgeon perform surgery. Orthodontists spend an additional 3 years in residency, specializing in correcting the position of the jaws and teeth.
