Orthodontic Office Ellicott City, MD
The atmosphere of an orthodontic office has a big impact on how patients and their families feel about the whole treatment process. At Level Orthodontics we have worked hard to make our office a friendly place where patients feel at ease. We also have the latest technology and tools to provide great orthodontic care. Our office shows how committed we are to combining comfort and expertise in every part of our work.
Modern orthodontic clinics need special tools and technology that are very different from what general dentistry offices use. We have bought the best diagnostic imaging systems, digital treatment planning software and advanced orthodontic materials so we can give you the best care possible. With this technology we can do procedures faster and get better results in less time than we could with the methods we used in the past.
Our office is designed so patients are comfortable and the business runs smoothly. Our treatment rooms are private but also open so anxious patients feel less nervous about their appointments. We also made sure our waiting area is comfortable for families as orthodontic appointments sometimes involve more than one family member and can take a long time.
One important part of every successful orthodontic office is the knowledge of its staff. Our team members are trained in orthodontic operations and patient care. They know what patients go through during orthodontic treatment and are there to help them all the way. Plus our staff stay up to date with the latest orthodontic breakthroughs through professional development and continuing education programs.
To keep patients safe the rules for sterilization and infection control in orthodontic offices have to be very strict. We follow all the rules for cleaning equipment, disinfecting surfaces and using personal protective equipment. These thorough safety protocols keep both patients and staff safe and also ensure families get the best clinical care possible from a professional orthodontic office.
In orthodontic offices where patients need to come in for appointments for long periods of time being able to change appointments is especially important. Families have a lot going on with work, school and other activities that need to be planned around orthodontic appointments. So we have longer office hours and more appointment times available to fit all our patient families. Our consultation and examination rooms are private spaces where patients can talk about their concerns and treatment goals without feeling embarrassed. We have family consultation rooms where families can discuss treatment options, prices and results without feeling rushed or overheard. This anonymity allows patients to have important conversations that help them choose the best orthodontic treatment for them. View our before and after gallery of our patients.
Being able to provide emergency care is part of full service orthodontic offices. We have protocols for dealing with orthodontic emergencies that can happen between appointments like broken brackets, loose wires or other urgent issues. We give our patients clear instructions on how to manage small problems at home and they know they can call us if they need professional help.
Modern orthodontic offices use digital technology to keep complete and secure patient files in their record keeping and documentation systems. We track each patient’s progress towards their treatment goals by taking regular photos, X-rays and clinical notes. This thorough documentation ensures care is always of the same high standard and provides useful information for treatment planning.
Some complicated orthodontic patients need to work with other dental specialists. Patients with severe jaw alignment problems may benefit from Surgical Orthodontics which combines our orthodontic expertise with oral surgery to fix skeletal problems that can’t be fixed by moving teeth around.
Our Ellicott City office is the main hub for all our orthodontic care. It has the latest technology, skilled staff and a patient focused approach. We believe the physical environment should support clinical competence and patient comfort. This will help families feel good about their choices and the results of their orthodontic treatment.
We also service the following areas, Howard County, Columbia, Catonsville, Pikesville, Woodlawn, Elkridge, Jessup, Laurel, Fulton, Clarksville, Halethorpe and Hanover MD.
