"How to find the right
orthodontist for your child"

Ask the Orthodontist

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.

Hoberman 60th

p

aul and Eileen Hoberman celebrat-
ed their 60th wedding anniversary
on July 4 at a party where they
renewed their vows. They were thrilled to
have their children, Fern and Brian Kepes,
Cheryl and Steve Hoberman, and grandchil-
dren, Heather and Josh Edwards, Danielle
and Sarah Hoberman, Max Kepes and
Lauren Kepes, other family and friends with
them. All wished them good health and hap-
piness on the special day.

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.

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.
