What Type Of Braces Are Best For You?

At Baltimore Orthodontic Group, we often brag about how smart our patients are! In many cases, people come in for a consultation after they’ve done quite a bit of research on their own. Especially now with AI, anyone can feed information into the system regarding the conditions of their mouth, teeth and gums and AI will provide ideas and treatment options. Along with that information, our patients often do some additional research on their own. Even so, it takes a professional to understand whether braces or aligners are best for you. And in all cases, patients do have options.

You can be assured that the orthodontist will work closely with you. The treatment you choose may depend on the complexity of your case and your specific goals. For instance, do you have a special event in the future, and your goal is to be out of braces by then? Do you have minor bite issues? Will you need oral surgery? Each patient is different. That’s one of the reasons we strongly advise that you schedule a free consultation with us. Sometimes the uncertainty of treatment is more difficult to comprehend than the actual treatment itself. Our combined 75 years of experience provides a technical and practical expertise that is quite extensive. By talking with one of our experienced orthodontists, you will be less anxious when you know the plan!

In preparation for your consultation, here are some areas to consider.

1. What specifically do you feel is the problem?
2. Do you have any jaw problems, such as misalignments or clicking sounds?
3. Do you have set expectations regarding a timeline of treatment?
4. How do you feel about getting braces, aesthetically?
5. Are there specific issues bothering you?
6. How detailed are you at cleaning and flossing your teeth?
7. Can you be consistent and committed to wearing appliances as recommended?
