How to Choose a Family Orthodontist

Check the Orthodontist’s Credentials

If you have several children requiring orthodontic treatment, then finding a family orthodontist in Texas is vital. Each one of your children can have special orthodontic devices, so you should find an expert who can handle different problems that occur in the mouth. First, make sure that your orthodontist has the proper university training in orthodontics in addition to dentistry. Today, some dentists are also offering minor orthodontic treatments with clear plastic aligners, but they may not know how to repair major dental malocclusions. Specialized orthodontic education includes taking additional classes at a certified school, but it also includes practical training with an orthodontist who has a lot of experience. You can learn about an orthodontist’s education by checking your state’s professional medical licensing board where the expert’s information is listed. This information will include an orthodontist’s education and practical training. Next, find the orthodontist’s website to learn more about the individual’s office hours because you may want to find an orthodontic office that has extended hours in the afternoon or during Saturday morning, making it easier to schedule appointments.

Does the Orthodontist Accept Your Insurance?

Rather than selecting an orthodontist for your family who is located several hours away from your home in Texas, choose an expert with an office in your neighborhood. While wearing braces, your children will need routine visits to tighten the wires or to fix a bracket. With a nearby orthodontist, you can visit her office for an emergency problem without needing to take a day off from work. Before scheduling an appointment with an orthodontist, contact your insurance provider to determine if the expert is part of your plan. Choosing an orthodontist who is approved by your insurance company will reduce the cost of treatment with braces or aligners. Take time to find the orthodontist’s offices in your neighborhood to visit the locations. If you must bring along younger children to the orthodontic office, then make sure that it has a play area to keep them busy. When an orthodontic office is always packed with patients, you may not want to choose this orthodontist because you must wait a long time for your appointments.

Call Us to Schedule an Orthodontic Evaluation

Meet with the orthodontist to learn more about her personality and treatment choices. Some orthodontists believe in using radical approaches such as removing many teeth and inserting implants. In addition, if you have a child with special orthodontic problems such as a palate that is too small or a jaw that isn’t growing properly, then you should find an expert who knows how to repair these problems. One of the best ways to find a family orthodontist is by talking to your friends or neighbors about the expert that they use for their children. You may want to find an orthodontist who cares for adults so that you can straighten your teeth.
