Getting braces, or any orthodontic appliance is a daunting life change. At the end of your appointment or evaluation, your orthodontists, such as the experienced team at Greater Houston Orthodontics, including Dr. Amir Davoody, Dr. Rana Mehr, Dr. Thomais Ioannou, and Dr. Panagiotis Kyteas, will ask you if you have any questions, and as a new patient, it’s sometimes hard to know what exactly you should be asking or what you’ll need to know as you navigate your new braces. Here are five questions you’ll need to know the answers to for a smooth orthodontic experience.
Five Essential Questions for Your Orthodontist:
- Can you describe my treatment plan?
- What are my options for treatment?
- What is this appliance doing? This adjustment?
- How should I care for my new appliance?
- Do I need to make any lifestyle changes now that I have this appliance?
