Choosing the Right Orthodontist: 5 Things to Consider
Choosing the right provider may feel stressful. We get that! When looking for an orthodontist that fits your needs, there are five things you may want to consider, including:
Qualifications
Education and experience are the basic qualifications for practicing orthodontists. Orthodontists must earn an undergraduate college degree, attend dental school for four years, and complete a Master of Science in Orthodontics program.

Additionally, all of the superstars at Lund Orthodontics are experts in providing our patients with five-star service in a family-oriented setting. You will feel confident knowing our team has two generations of helping people achieve lasting results with orthodontics.
Office Environment and Convenience
Orthodontic treatment often requires patients to come in for regular office visits. Because you will occasionally travel to and from the office, it is essential to choose an orthodontist near your home. Also, be sure that they offer appointments that fit your family’s schedule.
Meeting the orthodontist and the staff during your initial consultation appointment is an opportunity to see how they interact with patients. Is the office clean? Comfortable? You’re going to spend a lot of time with the staff during your treatment, so you want them to be friendly, compassionate, knowledgeable, and professional.

Reputation
Most people look up online reviews of restaurants before heading out to dinner to make sure they’re going to get a good meal. You should apply the same research when searching for an orthodontist! Past patients will usually share their experiences so new patients will know what to expect. You should also contact neighbors, friends, or co-workers to see if they have any experience with providers in your area.

What Happens During Your Orthodontist Consultation?
Consultation appointments are the perfect chance to ask questions and express concerns about your smile. You will first complete paperwork regarding your dental and medical history. Generally, the orthodontist will visually examine your teeth. Depending on what treatment you choose, we may also take x-rays or do 3D digital scans.
Once our superstars understand your needs, they will be able to provide you with:
- Treatment options.
- Expected treatment time frame.
