First ask the orthodontist about the techniques he uses and his general treatment
philosophy. Some orthodontists try to make the treatment as
short and comfortable as possible. Others use less expensive
materials and products. Ask the orthodontist about his materials.
Some orthodontists take brackets out of one patient's mouth and
recycle them into another patient's mouth. The safety and
reliability of this procedure is still unclear. Ask the orthodontist
about his treatment philosophy. You will need to decide whether
the orthodontist's philosophy is right for your children.
Ask the orthodontist about his sterilization procedures.
Make sure that he uses an autoclave on all his instruments.

Generally, the best orthodontists will offer braces with a
variety of colors to suit your child's taste. All of these options will make the orthodontic
treatment much less stressful for your children and much easier for you.
Ask the orthodontist about the brackets he plans to use. The orthodontist's choice of
bracket influences how long your child's treatment will take, and how comfortable your
child will be during treatment. The orthodontist may have some latitude to choose one
of several different bracket designs. If so, you may have some input into which bracket
your orthodontist chooses. One key choice is whether to use a low profile or a high
profile bracket. Generally, low profile brackets are less irritating to your children's lips
than high profile brackets, but are newer, and some orthodontists never learned how to
use them.
No one can tell you what is right for your child, without looking at your case.
However, as a parent, you need to be comfortable with the orthodontist's choices and
whether the choice is right for your child.
