How to find the right orthodontist for your child
Ask the Orthodontist
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.

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.

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.
