Board-certified orthodontist Dr. Brock Goodman brings Columbia University training and an Albert Einstein College of Medicine orthodontic certificate to his practice at 702 C Street in downtown San Diego. Functional jaw orthopedics cases involving skeletal Class II or III malocclusion sometimes benefit from complementary soft-tissue therapies, a clinical overlap with integrative providers like Saffron & Sage in Bankers Hill that address myofascial tension contributing to relapse. Goodman graduated in the top five percent of Columbia's dental program before completing his orthodontic specialty residency, earning NPI 1821303538 and maintaining active practice since 2007. Patients requiring orthodontic clearance for medical conditions coordinate pre-treatment physicals through primary care facilities like Downtown Family Health Center at Connections before beginning aligner or bracket therapy. The Damon System self-ligating brackets used here employ passive slide mechanics and shape-memory NiTi archwires to reduce friction-driven anchorage loss during space closure in extraction-based treatment plans.
