About Us

Team Approach
We educate patients about everything related to orthodontic care, from the proper methods of cleaning teeth and gums to how diet affects treatment. We discuss in detail foods that should be handled in special ways. Hard foods and sticky foods should be avoided. Some examples are ice, sticky candy and very hard pizza crust. Sugar-free gum is encouraged because it relieves pressure from the tightening of braces, increases salivation and has a cleansing effect.
The Triangle Orthodontics team is friendly and courteous. We strive to create a comfortable relaxing environment. Patients and their families are encouraged to ask questions and provide feedback. It is our goal to make your orthodontic experience as pleasant as possible.
Orthodontic Emergencies
Fortunately, there are very few emergencies associated with braces. However, should an emergency arise after office hours Dr. Rahman can be paged through her 24-hour answering service by calling (919) 968-0015.
