Choosing an Orthodontist

If you've been hiding your smile behind your hands because your teeth embarrass you, it's time to find an orthodontist. Choosing the right orthodontist for yourself isn't hard. You just need to know what to look for.

Experience

An orthodontist is a dental specialist. You want to make sure the orthodontist you select has the years of experience necessary to meet your needs and plan for your sustained care. You want to ensure that the orthodontist understands the phases of orthodontics and discusses your personalized strategy for attaining your most beautiful and healthy smile.

Comfort

Are you comfortable with the orthodontist? Is the office in a convenient location? Is his staff friendly and concerned for your needs? Is scheduling appointments easy? Feel free to ask questions. The right orthodontist should be able to explain what he is doing and have time to make you feel comfortable with the recommended treatment.

Recommendations

Recommendations from your friends or your dentist are a great way to narrow your options. How have your friends been treated by this orthodontist? Remember to check out the orthodontist's website and online reviews. Meet the doctor and take an office tour.

If you're looking for a Norfolk orthodontist, contact Dr. Michael Folck, DDS for your initial consultation.
