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 the orthodontist 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.
