The main features of an orthodontic chair are there for two reasons: the comfort of the patient and to help the orthodontist do their job as best they can. Several of these features are standard in almost all orthodontic and dental chairs, in Dr. Harrison’s as well as any other professional’s clinic. These features include: A Well-Designed Headrest A comfortable headrest impacts the comfort of the patient and allows the orthodontist or oral surgeon to get the right view and angle to do what they need to. The headrest will help the patient stay comfortable through any procedure and keep their head safe and still. Smooth & Accurate Height Adjustments Similarly, the ability to adjust the height, angle, and rotation of the chair is vital for great dental care. A dentist or orthodontist chair doesn’t go up and down in quite the same way as something like an office chair. Control of a dentist chair is much more fine-tuned, allowing the dentist or orthodontist to find the right position for the procedure and for the comfort of the patient. The best-designed chairs offer smooth transitioning through all angles and heights. LED Lighting & Equipment The best dental and orthodontic chairs come equipped with the fixtures needed for the array of equipment and tools dental professionals need to do their jobs. This includes the ability to provide a water supply with suction, tray attachments for various tools and a fixture for overhead lighting. LED lighting in recent years has offered a major advantage to orthodontists, providing a clearer view of what they’re working on while consuming less energy and producing less heat.
