Why See An Orthodontist?
Whenever you want something complex done very well, you go to an expert— the person who does that one thing all day, every day, for a living. When you have a serious problem with your knee, you see an orthopedist or physiatrist, rather than your family doctor. If your company is going through a merger, you would seek the help of a corporate attorney, not an attorney who focuses on estate planning or family law. If you want your teeth straightened and your bite idealized, you see an orthodontist.
The world’s first dental specialty board, the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO), was founded in 1929. Today, orthodontists are professionals who have completed 4 years of undergraduate studies, 4 years of dental school and 2 to 3 years of residency training at an accredited program in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. Orthodontists are not only experts in the biomechanics of tooth movements and occlusion, but they also understand the growth and development of the facial bones and how this can be anticipated or manipulated for the most favorable esthetic and functional outcome.
Your First Visit With Us
At your consultation with us, the High Line Orthodontics team will first take a series of photographs, radiographs and detailed measurements of your teeth and jaw. Dr. Pompei will then review all of these with you carefully, so that you can understand any concerns she may see about your jaw relationship, tooth development, tooth alignment, bite and smile.
Following this initial evaluation, you will be provided with treatment options and an explanation of the potential benefits and drawbacks of each. Our helpful treatment coordinator will then detail the next steps to get started and explain insurance benefits. If you are the kind of person who knows what you want when you see it, great! We will do our best to save you time and get you started on your way to a new smile that same day. If you are the kind of person who likes to mull big decisions over and sleep on it, we will send you the summary of the consultation in writing. We’re here for you when the time is right.
