How to Choose the Right Orthodontist

A majority of orthodontics patient in the Middletown, NY choose their own orthodontists instead of being referred by their dentist. These patients may have looked for their orthodontist in ads or online, or have been referred by their friends or family members. If you are looking for the best orthodontists in NY, here are some helpful tips:

• Choose an American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) member. An orthodontist who is a member of the AAO is assured to have two or more years of special orthodontic training beyond dental school and a high level of skill and accreditation. Check for logos from the AAO on the orthodontist’s website or office, or simply ask the practitioner if they are an orthodontic specialist. Both Dr. Skrobola and Dr. Schlosser are certified by the AAO.
• Check what type of treatments they offer. Does the orthodontist have advanced treatments such as Invisalign, Damon, Insignia, or surgical procedures in addition to traditional braces? If you’re looking for flexible options, or a solution to difficult problems, then selecting a versatile orthodontist may be the way to go.
