Values

When considering orthodontic treatment we will always address the following series of questions and carefully assess what the patient wants:

• What are the patient values and preferences (Patient important outcomes or Patient centered outcomes)?
• What is the best research evidence on the necessary orthodontic treatment?
• Is this the correct timing for starting orthodontic treatment or is it better to wait?
• Are the treatment benefits worth the potential adverse effects and costs?
• What is the most efficient and comfortable appliance for treating the patient’s orthodontic problem?

Appliances

We believe that placing a limit on the total number of patients in treatment is essential to maintain our quality standard. We have therefore set a threshold for the number of patients started each year and have adhered to this benchmark during the last 20 years.
