Mendota Heights Orthodontics Practice Offers 5 Tips For Seeking Treatment
EAGAN, MENDOTA HEIGHTS, ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA – The Eagan and Mendota Heights orthodontics office of Dr. Jennifer Eisenhuth has released a tip sheet on five things to consider when seeking orthodontic treatment.
“There are a lot of orthodontists out there, and more dentists are jumping on the orthodontic treatment bandwagon by offering Invisalign treatment,” said Eisenhuth, a Mendota Heights Invisalign provider. “Our goal in offering this tip sheet is to give patients some information that could assist them in their decision-making process.”1. Choose an orthodontist, not just a dentist.
An orthodontist is a dentist who has gone on to complete an orthodontic residency that involves two years of extensive training in this particular field after graduating from dental school.
2. Make sure the provider you select is a board certified orthodontist.
In addition to completing an accredited graduate program in orthodontics, an orthodontist certified by The American Board of Orthodontics has passed a written examination and presented treated cases to a board of expert examiners.
1. Choose an orthodontics office that your child is truly engaged with.
“Through the course of treatment, there are many things the child will have to do in the way of compliance,” said Eisenhuth, a Mendota Heights orthodontist. “The more engaged the patient is with the orthodontist and the office in general, the better the compliance and end result tends to be.”
Patients who enjoy coming to their orthodontic appointments and seeing their orthodontist typically do a better job of practicing good oral hygiene and following the instructions provided, said the Mendota Heights braces expert.
1. Look for a practice that offers appointments five days a week.
It is a good idea to find out whether the orthodontist is at the location you visit on a full-time basis, Eisenhuth said. Many orthodontists split their time between a couple of office locations. Because of our busy lifestyles, it often is beneficial to work with an orthodontist who has the flexibility to see you any day of the week.
1. Choose an orthodontist who offers flexibility when it comes to finances.
“Find a provider who offers flexible, affordable finance options, particularly in this economy,” said Eisenhuth, who also is a Mendota Heights Incognito braces provider.
Orthodontic treatment quite often is a two-year commitment and during that time, there can be changes in one or both parents’ income.
“Finding an orthodontist who can adjust the payment schedule to work with families who do fall on hardships during the course of treatment can mean the difference between completing your child’s treatment or not,” she said.
