How important is cooperation?
Successful orthodontic treatment requires a cooperative effort between the orthodontist and patient (and the parent when the patient is a child or adolescent). The orthodontist provides the expertise, the treatment plan and the appliances to straighten teeth. The patient must follow the doctor’s instructions carefully so that the teeth move in the appropriate manner according to the prescribed schedule. Patients who brush thoroughly; avoid hard, sticky foods; wear their rubber bands and/or headgear as instructed; and keep their appointments usually finish treatment on time with good results. Regular visits to the family dentist must continue during orthodontic treatment because good dental care and proper fluoride remain important. Proper nutrition also is essential. Successful orthodontic treatment is a partnership of effort among the orthodontist, family dentist and patient. Through this cooperative effort the treatment goal is achieved—a healthy mouth and a beautiful smile.
