- The patient’s first visit is the most important one. This is because an untreated mouth offers the best opportunity to identify factors contributing to the patient’s orthodontic problems. If we focus only on how we will treat a malocclusion, we may miss the reasons the patient’s teeth are like that in the first place.
- We try to be very, very cognizant of the overall condition of patient’s mouth. If we’re not perceptive before starting treatment, the patient’s mouth becomes an altered environment. In such a situation, it may no longer be possible to identify preexisting problems.
- We feel that an individualized treatment plan is the most important thing we offer. And it starts with the first visit. This is when we carefully evaluate things that are going on in that patient’s mouth that contribute to their need for orthodontic intervention.
