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.
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 fi nancial
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 offi ce, 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.
