Finding the right orthodontist can be difficult. Sometimes you know straight away. However, sometimes you may need to look around to be sure and get a second opinion. If you feel uncomfortable, don’t settle. You need to be comfortable, as you will be seeing an orthodontist to straighten teeth for a minimum of six months. A great place to start is your Dentist; most Dentists can recommend great Orthodontists in Sydney. Otherwise, asking around is a great source of advice as they have experienced firsthand custom orthodontics. When you do go searching for an orthodontist, there are a few questions you can ask to help determine your choice.
Questions to ask your potential orthodontist:
- What is your experience as an orthodontist?
- Do you have accreditations and training to use the orthodontics braces you promote?
- Do you recommend braces, or a different treatment? Why?
- Are braces a necessity to straighten teeth?
- Will braces orthodontics change my facial profile?
- Will you keep in contact with my regular dentist?
- How often will I need to visit the orthodontist during treatment?
If you are asking in regards to braces for kids, consider the following extra questions:
- Is my child the right age for braces?
- What are the advantages of early treatment?
- How long will treatment last?
- Will any teeth need to be extracted?
- If they have treatment now, will they have braces for teenagers?
