There is plenty of chairside seating so that your family can be present to see what is done and hear how your treatment is progressing. Our sterilization area is right out in plain view so that you can see how meticulous our staff is about providing you with the safest treatment possible. Even our music has been selected to appeal to all members of your family. After being treated, you will proceed to our instruction area where you can examine your new wires, elastics, and colored o-rings as well as practice any new skills you may have been taught during the appointment. We even have a beeper for after-hour and weekend emergencies .
Most orthodontists work out of two or three offices.
We have only one, so patients never have to wonder where we are. We see patients in our Westside office four days a week, every week. As a matter of courtesy, we rotate which four days are scheduled so that patients can select appointments on all weekdays, including Fridays. This is a good age because the permanent first molars and central incisors should be in place by then. Once in, these teeth provide enough information to diagnose the majority of orthodontic problems.
