Diagnosis and Treatment Planning

 

Choosing to get orthodontic treatment is an important decision for anyone. Everyone has his or her own special reasons for opting to pursue orthodontic care. At Otago Orthodontics we want to help you address those reasons in a comfortable and friendly environment with exceptional customer service. Your first orthodontic visit with us is about getting to know you: your concerns, your expectations. Once we’ve had a chance to chat, Dr Emily Lam will provide a thorough visual orthodontic examination and maybe even share some information about your mouth that you didn’t yet know. She will give insights as to the best treatment options for your unique situation and answer any questions you may have.

Testimonials

Both of my daughters required extensive orthodontic work.  Specifically, one of our daughters had an overbite, and both had overcrowding and required significant straightening of their teeth.  We were referred to Otago Orthodontics by our dentist when the various problems became apparent. Dr Emily Lam and her team competently developed an individualised treatment plan for both of my children.  They reassured us at every step of the way.  Their approach was always professional, friendly and obliging.  They made the visits both informative and fun. Aside from the obvious dental health benefit and the necessity of treatment, having a straight set of teeth has notably increased their self-esteem and confidence. If you or any of your family requires specialised orthodontic treatment I cannot recommend them highly enough.
