Correct diagnosis leads to accurate treatment, and the right support leads to successful long-term orthodontic care.
Orthodontics plays an important role in improving the aesthetics of your smile, as well as the functions and health of your teeth and gums. But each Orthodontic case is unique, treatment will be based on the particular case of the patient.
Proper diagnosis is especially important to prepare the best treatment for the patient. It is the task of your orthodontist to examine and evaluate carefully, your teeth and gums in order to give the right treatment.
Your participation and understanding of the entire process, as a patient, is also necessary for long-term success. You are encouraged to communicate with us your expectations and to disclose any medical or personal information which may influence your treatment. It is also essential to listen carefully to what, we as orthodontists, will discuss with you and to appreciate the importance of routine visits and care for your dental appliances and overall oral hygiene.
To make the best dental health choices prior to treatment, proper guidance and support from your family is important. Your dentist, on the other hand, will be informed about the progress and be involved during your whole treatment to ensure optimum health for the future.
Successful, long term orthodontic results are dependent on FOUR key team members:
- YOU - as a patient
- Your OROTHODONTIST
- Your DENTIST
- And your FAMILY
Make them all count!
