In addition to all the important benefits of improved health, function, and comfort, an improved appearance through orthodontic treatment can greatly enhance one's selfesteem. Orthodontics is usually a once-in-a-lifetime investment requiring an extended period of time, numerous visits, and often separate phases of treatment. The success and stability of the final results are highly dependent on 1) the diagnostic skill, competence, and artistic sense of the orthodontist and 2) the cooperation of the patient/parents. The American Dental Association requires that a dentist successfully complete an additional 2 to 3 years of intense graduate education before becoming a specialist in orthodontics. It is important that you have selected a qualified orthodontic specialist. Our auxiliary staff is also highly trained in the responsibilities necessary to resolve the variety of problems we treat. We look forward to cooperating with you in this highly beneficial and rewarding experience! |
