How does patient cooperation affect the final results?
Children are special patients, and we take special care with them. Our highest priority is to make your child’s orthodontic experience as pleasant and successful as we can. For all patients, cooperation is essential! Orthodontic treatment requires a commitment by the patient. Usually the difference between a poor result and a great result is the degree of cooperation that we receive, and not the severity of the original problem. Treatment time can be lengthened and results worsened by poor brushing, inadequate wearing time for rubber bands, headgear and retainers, broken braces and missed appointments.
