Dear Fanbelt,
I cannot give you a personal recommendation for any of the
orthodontists; however if I had to choose one I would select one of
the member orthodontists from the American Dental Association. The
first ten orthodontists in my answer were taken from the American
Dental Association members Directory.
Sincerely,
Bobbie7

Is there any objective evaluation of orthodontists? Where would
complaints be filed against an orthodontist? Are there any specific
questions I should ask during an initial visit?
Thanks for your help.

How can I find an orthodontist?
?We usually suggest that you talk to your regular general dentist
first. He can recommend quality orthodontists in your area for you to
consider. Also ask your children's friend's parents. They can
recommend quality orthodontists in your area. The American Association
Of Orthodontists(AAO) maintains a lists of board certified
orthodontists. You can call the AAO at 1-800-787-2444.?
http://www.bracesinfo.com/parents2.html#find
What are some of the questions that I should ask on the phone?
?First ask the orthodontist's assistant about the techniques the
orthodontist uses and the orthodontist's general treatment philosophy.
Some orthodontists try to make the treatment as short and painless as
possible. Others try to make the treatment as inexpensive as possible.
The orthodontist's assistant may not be able to tell you about the
orthodontist's treatment philosophy but you should ask.?
You will need to decide whether the orthodontist's treatment
philosophy is right for your children.
?Ask the orthodontist's assistant about the materials they use in
their office. Some orthodontists take materials out of one patients
mouth and "recycle" them into another patients mouth! The safety and
reliability of this procedure is still unclear. Therefore we recommend
that you make sure that your orthodontist does not attach any
materials to your child's mouth that has been in another person's
mouth first.?
?Ask the orthodontist's assistant about the sterilization procedures
used in the orthodontist's office. Make sure that the orthodontist
uses an autoclave or dry heat sterilizer on all of his instruments.
The orthodontist's assistant may tell you about how they use a
"gluteraldehyde" solution instead. If so try another orthodontist.
Also make sure that everyone in the office who works on your child
wears gloves and changes the gloves (and not just wash them) before
each patient. If they do not use fresh gloves, find another
orthodontic office.?
?Ask the assistant about x-rays. A quality orthodontist will do three
sets of x-rays: cephalometric x-rays, panographic x-rays and bitewing
x-rays. Those x-rays are needed to make sure that the treatment
proceeds smoothly, and there are no complications. Be sure that the
orthodontist takes the approproiate x-rays to make sure there are no
unexpected complications with your child's treatment. ?
?Ask the orthodontist's assistant whether the orthodontist offers
treatment options. Generally, the best orthodontists will offer braces
in a variety of colors to suit your child's taste. Ligatures and wax
are available in a variety of colors, flavors, and styles. All of
these options will make the orthodontic treatment much less stressful
for your children and much easier on you.?

What questions should I ask the orthodontist at the consultation?
?First ask the orthodontist about the techniques he uses and his
general treatment philosophy. Some orthodontists try to make the
treatment as short and painless as possible. Others try to make the
treatment as inexpensive as possible. Ask the orthodontist about his
treatment philosophy. You will need to decide whether the
orthodontist's treatment philosophy is right for your children.?

?Ask the orthodontist about his treatment options. Generally, the best
orthodontists will offer braces in a variety of colors to suit your
child's taste. Ligatures and wax are available in a variety of colors,
flavors, and styles.?
?Ask the orthodontist about the brackets he plans to use. The
orthodontists choice of bracket will determine how long your child's
treatment will take, and how comfortable your child will be during
treatment.?
(?)
?One key choice is whether to use a low profile or a high profile
bracket. Generally, low profile brackets are less irritating to your
children's lips than high profile brackets but they are newer, and
some orthodontists never learned how to use them. The orthodontist
also has a choice whether to use cast brackets, machined brackets, or
MIM brackets. Generally, cast brackets are more comfortable than MIM
or machined brackets, but they cost slightly more.?
?No one cannot tell you what is right for your child, without looking
at your case.?

The American Board of Orthodontics provides an online Diplomate
Directory Search tool.
http://www.americanboardortho.com/diplomatesearch.aspx
Please enter your zip code 22066 your State and Country and click on
the Search button.
You will obtain a list of orthodontists.
Note that the names that have a * next to them indicates that the
Diplomate has completed CERTIFICATION in the last ten years and/or has
been RECERTIFIED by completing a voluntary evaluation of clinical
competency.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Should I ask to talk to present and/or former patients?
?It is wise for a consumer to investigate the value of any product or
service. Most orthodontic patients will give it to you straight -
orthodontics is one of the best investments they've ever made. Better
oral health and better self-esteem are benefits that can last a
lifetime.?
?An AAO member will be glad to have you talk to current or former
patients, who can tell you firsthand how braces have improved their
lives.?
Who can recommend an orthodontist?
Ask your family dentist to recommend an orthodontist.
Or write the American Association of Orthodontists at 401 N. Lindbergh
Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63141-7816.
