What Sets Us Apart
|
We know that choosing an orthodontist is a very personal decision. There are many orthodontic offices and treatment options available to you. Here are just a few details about our office that describe what sets us apart. Over 20 Years of Excellence in Orthodontics: We have provided our patients with the highest quality orthodontic care in a personal, professional environment for over 20 years! Getting to know you and meeting your individual orthodontic needs is our foremost concern. Board Certified by the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO): “Board certification is a process by which an individual orthodontist is voluntarily examined by his/her peers as to orthodontic knowledge and clinical skills. The passage of the examination process is a demonstration to the dental profession and the general public of the orthodontist's pursuit of continued proficiency and excellence in orthodontics. The objectives of the ABO were stated in the charter of incorporation ‘to elevate the standards of the practice of orthodontia; to familiarize the public with its aims and ideals; to protect the public against irresponsible and unqualified practitioners.’” (ABO) Chosen by Local Dentists as Their Personal Orthodontist: Dr. White has been selected by 12 local dentists to provide the orthodontic care for their families. One Orthodontist, One Office Location: We have one office location and one orthodontist. You can count on Dr. White's personal attention at every appointment. Cutting-Edge Technology: Our office is technologically advanced in the field of orthodontics. We offer not only digital photographs, records, and models, but also digital x-rays. Digital x-rays produce 80% less radiation than the traditional variety. Our office is nearly paperless, allowing us to provide our patients with faster and more efficient service. We Use the Latest Advancements in Orthodontics Orthodontic treatment is in a state of innovation. New technologies and methods mean your treatment may be faster, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. These innovations are in the braces, each individually sealed in its own blister pack, adhesives, and the archwires used to move the teeth. BRACES: Today’s braces are light-years ahead of the ones your parents might have had. In just about every way, they’re much better than they used to be:
Traditional braces use elastic or thin wire ligature ties to hold the archwire into each bracket. Teeth are guided into position with these ties. With the new SmartClip technology, unique and innovative nickel-titanium clips are used to hold the archwires in place instead of ligature ties. Advantages of this upgraded type of brace are:

When the package is opened, you know it’s the first time the braces have been used and they are only for you. That means no contamination and less worry. ADHESIVES:
The wire that attaches to all braces within each arch and used to move teeth into their correct alignment is called the archwire. The latest innovations in metal and alloy technology continually provide new types of archwires rendering new properties. Fewer wire changes mean fewer appointments further apart. With constant, gentler, lighter forces than ever before – your braces will move your teeth where they need to go. Meticulous Sterilization: Our patients can be assured that we follow all of the OSHA guidelines for sterilization techniques. We use hospital grade sterilizers. All braces are individually wrapped in blister packs that ensure sterilized one-time use brackets Complimentary Initial Exam and Consultation by Dr. White: Every patient receives a complimentary and comprehensive explanation of their treatment needs on their first visit. Dr. White personally discusses his findings with you. New Facility: White Orthodontics is newly renovated with new equipment and maintained in the best of conditions with a rigorous maintenance schedule. Invisalign Certified Provider: Why trust movement of your teeth to anyone not university trained in Orthodontics? Enhanced Interactive Web Service: Through our web services, our patients can review tooth brushing and oral hygiene instructions, learn how to resolve comfort/emergency concerns at home, and when to call with an emergency. Our web site is instructional on many topics and also has an entertainment area for fun. This web service is available 24/7, and is a convenient way for our patients to stay connected to our office from home! Invisible Retainers: When the braces come off our patients receive invisible retainers. These retainers are custom designed to fit only your beautiful new smile. Fun for the Kids and Adults: Whether you are 4 or 40, there is always something fun to do at White Orthodontics. We have video games, toys for the small kids, and a Slushy Machine for everyone. We have a monthly drawing for qualified Star Patients of the month and drawings for Parent Gift Baskets. Contests and Cool Prizes: We do everything we can to make your orthodontic experience fun and exciting. At White Orthodontics, there is always a contest to enter for kids and parents alike. Whether it's "Send us a vacation picture", "Count the number of jelly beans in the jar", or "Find the words in the puzzle"….we make it fun. |
