Choosing An Orthodontist:

blue diamond bullet Personal recommendation from a friend or your family dentist.

blue diamond bullet With today's high energy costs, choose an orthodontist who is located geographically close to your home, school or employer because your treatment will be completed over a series of visits.

blue diamond bullet Just as there are specialists in medicine (such as cardiologists, gastroenterologists, dermotologists, etc.), there are specialists in dentistry. A licensed orthodontic specialist  is a dental specialist who dedicates his/her life to correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. Orthodontists graduate as dentists from dental school and then attend a university based orthodontic residency for a minimum of 2 additional years beyond a general dentist's training. Orthodontic insurance benefits are only paid once per lifetime so choose the best, a licensed orthodontic specialist.

Some orthodontists give you their treatment recommendation without taking the diagnostic tests (x-rays, photo images and impressions of the teeth) that are necessary to plan/diagnose treatment. There is no substitute for having all the information that these diagnostic tests can provide and meeting the proper standard of care in our area. This is one area where taking shortcuts (skipping diagnostic tests) can lead to improper diagnosis and treatment.
