There are many important issues in choosing, as this will be a long-term
relationship, and it should be enjoyable. The orthodontist should be a
specialist in orthodontics, which means he, or she, had been selected to a
graduate program beyond dental school, which requires additional full time
training from two to three years. He/She then limits their practice to only
orthodontics and does not practice other facets of dentistry.
Equally important is to ask your son or daughter where they feel comfortable
after the initial consultation. Did the orthodontist speak to your child and see
what issues are important to them? Did they listen to you and your child, as
well as explain what the procedures involve? Kids are very perceptive and
their input is vital, as patients are more compliant when they know, trust, and
like their doctor.

Rachel (Raimi)
and Scott Leibovitz
of Birmingham
announce with
pleasure the birth of
their son, Nathan
Asher (Yitzchak
Leibovitz
Shimshon). Nathan
was welcomed
home by his proud big sister Julia, 4.
Delighted grandparents are Nancy
and Stephen Raimi, Rena Leibovitz,
Arie and Karolyn Leibovitz, all of
West Bloomfield. Nathan is named in
loving memory of his uncle Andrew
Leibovitz, his maternal great-grand-
father Irving Raimi and his paternal
great-grandfather Saul Rott.
Location, hours, reasonable and customary fees, comfortable financial
arrangements, and accessibility are important issues also. Ask other
members of the community including your son or daughter's friends and even
teachers. Is the reception room clean, friendly, and comfortable? Did you
have to wait at all, or long for your appointment? Was the orthodontist on
schedule? Was he friendly? Can you receive an information packet about
the office, orthodontist and treatment philosophy? These are all important
issues to consider.
Lastly and very important is select your orthodontist on who truly cares
for your child. When you have interviewed your orthodontist and feel
comfortable that they enjoy relationships with kids and will treat your son or
daughter as if they were part of their own extended family or friends, then you
have found your family orthodontist.
Please call today to schedule your complimentary orthodontic
consultation at either of our locations.
