These days almost every parent is faced with the task of getting braces done to straighten their child’s smile. A common go-to place to start your search is to simply find the cheapest place. Often this will be with a general dentist instead of an orthodontist who specializes in braces. After having fixed the work of many general dentists over the past 14 years, we know that cost is actually not the most important factor in choosing the right doctor and the right environment for your child. Here are some things to consider when choosing an orthodontist over a general dentist:
1. A general dentist often has limited knowledge and experience straightening teeth because they focus their practice on cleanings, crowns, fillings and tooth extractions. Dr. Aggarwal has been specializing in orthodontics since 2002! That means that his expertise and experience will give your son or daughter the best smile and the best bite.
2. A general dentist will often delegate their diagnosis and treatment planning to a third party and their clinical work to an assistant or hygienist. At Bronte Family Orthodontics, Dr. Aggarwal personally spends time diagnosing and coming up with the best treatment plan for your son or daughter. He is proud to do the work so you know that you are getting the best value and service!
3. A general dentist will often spend little time with you during each visit. Dr. Aggarwal and his team want your journey to be a fun experience! We dedicate time to educate you on how best to care for your teeth and braces, even providing incentives for progressing well.
