What questions should I ask the orthodontist at
the consultation?

First ask the orthodontist about the technique he/she uses and his/her 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
the materials used. 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 their treatment philosophy. You will need to
decide whether the orthodontist's treatment philosophy is right for your children.

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 on you.

Ask the orthodontist about the type of brackets thefp an to use.The o
s d ce
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 lip than high
profile brackets, but they are newer, and some orthodontists never learned how to use
them. Ask the orthodontist about their sterilization procedures. Make sure they use an
autoclave on all of their instruments • -

No one can tell you what is right for yourd ,
looking at your cas owever;
as a parent, you need to be comfortable with the orthodontist's choice and whether the
choice is right for your child.
