ORTHODONTIC ANSWERS  — For patients seeking initial orthodontic care and patients currently in orthodontic treatment.

MISSION STATEMENT:  Unbiased and educational information

There are 3 distinct sections within this site for you to choose which applies to your present situation.

  1. New patient initial consultation
  2. Currently in treatment
  3. Negative treatment outcomes
  1. Are you confused after your initial consultation visit to the orthodontist?  If you are like many parents/patients you may have questions or didn’t fully understand or agree with what you were told.  Many seek another opinion and usually in my experience that may only add to your confusion.  This site is available for you to ask any questions relative to your initial consult.  If you have been given a plan of treatment it is difficult to give advice about that plan without clinical and radiographic information.  Within this site you will be given options for you to submit additional information pertinent to your situation.
  2. During treatment questions may also arise as to the direction and progress as outlined in the initial treatment plan and given to you prior to starting active treatment.
  3. Unfortunately there are also instances when treatment outcome leads to a negative result.

THIS SITE IS DEDICATED TO HELPING YOU UNDERSTAND AND GIVE GUIDANCE TO HOPEFULLY RESOLVE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
