Ask The Orthodontist
How do I find an orthodontic specialist
that is appropriate for my children?
When selecting an orthodontist, good sources to ask are
your child's friends, schoolmates, other parents, your fami-
ly dentist, and even teachers.

Where the personal touch counts
Find out if other kids in braces or appliances enjoy their
experience. Are the kids treated with respect, and are their
personal needs addressed? Do they look forward to

and can tell when someone truly cares about them,
. and this is very important.
Ask the parents if they are happy with the orthodontist they selected. How are
emergencies handled? Is there an emergency phone number or pager where
someone may be reached if needed? Additionally, it is a benefit if the orthodon-
tist has only one office, so there is more accessibility at a dependable location.
The office should also be conveniently located as appointments are usually
every 5 weeks or so.
Once the orthodontist is selected, call the office and ask if they have an informa-
tional folder about the office, philosophy and information about the. doctor. Find
out if there is a fee for an initial consultation. After this, go to the appointment,
see the office (is it clean, patient friendly and utilize modern technology?). And
see if the orthodontist truly cares about your child and if he listens. Are you and
your child comfortable with the environment there? Does the orthodontist put
you at ease? This is the beginning of a relationship that should be a rewarding
and positive experience.
