Braces provided by an orthodontics dentist or orthodontist may be for a number of reasons.

Having teeth straightened is one of the most common reasons for getting braces. This is true regardless of whether it is kids braces or adults braces.

Another common reason is to help with creating proper alignment of the jaw or bite. Again, this can be for children or for adults.

While on the surface it may seem to a person considering braces that it might be a simple and straight forward process to getting braces, every patients' situation is unique from every other patient. And, it is quite possible that there may be complications relating to the alignment of the jaw and/or bite.

For this reason it may be a very wise decision to seek a professional who has experience dealing with not only teeth and braces but also with properly aligning a jaw or bite.

This is one of the big reasons why I recommend Dr. Richard Goodfellow in the Toronto area

Dr. Goodfellow has the experience of being a dentist since 1978.

More importantly, since 1999 he has invested thousands of hours and has treated in excess of 650 patients for problems specifically relating to the jaw and bite.

If you would like to take advantage of Dr. Goodfellow's thousands of hours of training and experience with over 650 patients relating to jaw and bite issues so he can at least consider these potential issues as well when assessing you (or your child) for braces, then call his office toll free at 1-866-760-0371.

Keep in mind that childrens faces (including their jaw and bite) are still developing so the best age to have them diagnosed for braces, in addition to potential issues with the jaw and/or bite, is between the ages of 10 and 14. Adults can still be helped but because an adutls' face is fully formed the treatment can be more elaborate or lengthy.

Trusting the professional you are considering getting braces from should be an important issue for you to consider.

First, as mentioned above, you should trust the expertise of the professional you are considering. This means you should have total confidence in the background, training and hands-on experience to deliver the results you are looking for.

It also means having the expertise to properly deal with more complex situations if the need arises even though, on the surface, you may not think your situation will be complicated.

Only an orthodontic dentist or orthodontist has the training that can allow for the proper determination of the complication level of any patients' situation.

With all this in mind, another indication of the level of trust you may or may not want to put in a professional you are considering is whether that professional uses before and after photos of his or her REAL patients.

You see, there are business services available who will sell or rent before and after photograpghs to a professional to show the type of results that can be attained from wearing braces.

While these photos, (either in a photo album, on a television screen or on the internet) depict real results, if they are merely purchased from an outside company they do NOT reflect the work of the professional who bought them.

So, you should definitely ask a professional you are considering seeing whether his or her "before and after photos" are of his or her actual, real patients.

This will give you a sense of how much you might want to trust a certain professional.

As for Dr. Goodfellow, all photos he uses are of the actual work he has performed over the years on his own patients.

Likeability of the professional you are considering is an imporant factor as well when considering getting braces.

You don't necessarily have to think you could be best friends with the professional you are considering. But you should have a good sense about him. You should get the feeling that he is not only very competant but that he also has your best interest at heart.

The average length of time a child or adult wears braces is about 2 years. That length of time depends on the amount and degree of corrections that are being done.

As the braces are continuing to adjust the location and orientation of your teeth (and/or affect your jaw or bite if needed) you will need to return to the professional you have chosen in order to have adjustments made to your braces. This keeps your teeth (and possible your jaw or bite if needed) moving in the right direction.

Because of this, you will visit the professional you have chosen a number of times over the 2 year period.

What should NOT be a big concern is driving a slightly longer distance to get to the professional you have chosen if you have chosen your professional because of factors such as EXPERTISE or TRUST as described above.

If, however, you do not feel comfortable with a certain professional then that is another matter and you should probably not choose that professional.

Dr. Goodfellow exceeds the experise, trust and likeability factors described above so I recommend him highly.

In order to see for yourself, I will post a video here with Dr. Goodfellow shortly.

Meanwhile, at least call Dr. Goodfellow's office at 1-866-760-0371 in order to get an Initial Assessment so you can tell for yourself. Or, call to get a second opinion.
