It is important to schedule a consultation with your orthodontist before deciding what kind of treatment you may need. Not only will your orthodontist be able to determine what kind of orthodontic treatment is best for your specific needs, but they can also help to answer all of your questions before making the decision to receive treatment.
Many patients are so overwhelmed while they are at their consultation that they often forget the questions that may have wanted to ask or they may not know what to ask. Here are some of the questions that you should ask during your orthodontic consultation:
- What age should my I/my child start orthodontic treatment?
- How will this orthodontic treatment benefit me/my child?
- How long will orthodontic treatments last?
- Will I/my child experience any pain?
- What should be expected during my/my child’s orthodontic treatment?
- Will I/my child need to undergo any additional treatments before or after my orthodontic treatment?
- How frequent will I/my child need to see the orthodontist?
- Should I/my child still see the dentist during orthodontic treatments?
- What types of braces do you use?
- How much will the orthodontic treatments cost?
- What insurance companies do you accept?
- What is your experience? Where did you go to school?
- Do you guarantee your results?
- What should I do if I have other questions?
- What should I do if there is an emergency during my treatment?
It is important to remember that there is never a bad question. If you have additional questions, always be sure to have them answered before receiving treatment.
