As a provider of six month braces in Dublin we have been asked by a number of dentists to provide training for them so that they can also provide 6 month braces and other orthodontic treatments for their patients.
Many dentists are unwilling to provide multiple dental veneers for young patients who present with cosmetic concerns with their teeth. Using orthodontics dentists can greatly increase the aesthetic apperance of the smile without removing healthy tooth structure.
What do we need to consider before using six month braces to treat a patient?
A completey stable dentition is required. ie no caries or peridontal disease. Any old leaking restorations need to be replaced and a healthy diet established. We then need to find out what the exact cosmetic concerns the patient has. We need to ask a few leading questions such as, ‘if you have a magic wand then how would you change your smile’ and ‘how would you like us to give you a smile that you are proud of’?
Patients you attend you for an orthodontic consultation usually know what they want and almost always ask about getting braces for six months. You now need to move on in the examination to establish whether or not a patient is suitable for six month braces or whether they require a referal for specialist orthodontic treatment.
The next article will cover the essential factors we need to look at in our assessment.
