Family Orthodontics Ellicott City, MD

Family orthodontics has its own benefits that makes it easier and more effective for families with more than one person who needs treatment. At Level Orthodontics, we have designed our clinic to be family-friendly by offering a full range of orthodontic treatments that cater to patients of all ages. We can build long term relationships with our patients and set up treatment schedules that work for busy families with our family-centered approach.

If more than one family member needs orthodontic work, it’s much easier to schedule appointments with just one provider. We typically schedule back to back appointments for siblings on the same day. This cuts down on the number of trips parents have to make to our office. This flexibility in scheduling is especially helpful for families with busy work schedules or those who live nearby and come to our Ellicott City location.

We can make the best treatment recommendations for each family member since we know what different age groups need when it comes to orthodontics. Early interceptive treatment can help kids develop their teeth properly and stop more severe problems from happening later on. Teenagers need full treatment that takes care of both their functional and aesthetic needs as they mature. Adult family members may get orthodontic care to enhance their professional look or to resolve persistent bite issues that have become painful.

We know that family orthodontics requires careful financial planning especially when more than one person needs treatment at the same time. We offer various payment plans and family discounts that makes full orthodontic treatment more affordable for families with more than one patient. We also work directly with insurance companies to get the most out of benefits and help families understand their coverage options for each family member who needs treatment.

When families schedule treatments, they think about how the timelines for each person’s treatment might overlap or work well together. We plan treatment so that families can handle more than one orthodontic trip without it getting in the way of their daily lives. We also make sure parents know how each family member is doing and what treatment milestones are coming up so they can plan ahead.

To make sure patients of all ages feel welcome, you need to pay special attention to the different needs and comfort levels of kids, teens and adults. Our team has a lot of experience working with young kids who might be anxious about their first time getting braces. At the same time, we respect the wishes of adult patients who want professional, efficient care that works with their busy schedules. Technology plays a big role in making family orthodontics more comfortable and efficient for everyone involved. We use computerized imaging and treatment planning technology that speeds up the process of initial evaluations and progress tracking. These high-tech gadgets help us finish appointments faster and gives us more information about how each family member’s treatment is going.

Educational support is especially important in family orthodontic offices since parents need to know about different treatment options and how to take care of their teeth at home. We give detailed instructions on how to keep your mouth clean while you’re getting treatment and tell you what to expect during each stage of orthodontic treatment. Families feel good about taking care of their orthodontic duties at home after this training.

Sometimes, when families have complex problems, they need more than just regular orthodontic treatment. Patients with severe jaw problems may benefit from Surgical Orthodontics, which combines orthodontic tooth movement with oral surgery to get the best functional and aesthetic results.

We believe that family orthodontics should strengthen family ties not add more stress. Our approach is to make orthodontic care a good experience that brings families together to work towards the same goal: healthy, beautiful smiles. Families can get the orthodontic care they need in Ellicott City because they can get it all in one place and we are committed to serving our patients.
