First ask the orthodontist about the technique they use and their general
eatment philosophy. Some orthodontists try to make the treatment as
hart and comfortable as possible. Others use less expensive materials an
products. Ask the orthodontist about their materials. Some orthodontists to
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 brackets they plan 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. On
key choice is whether to use a low profile or a high profile bracket. General
low profile brackets are less irritating to your children's lip than high profile
brackets, but they are newer, and some orthodontists never leamed 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 your child, without looking at your case.
However, as a parent, you need to be comfortable with the orthodontist's
choice and whether the choice is right for your child. j
