Common Orthodontic Issues
“Not every patient’s life will change with orthodontic care. But many lives will change. And in many cases we are able to predict this outcome when treatment begins ... unbeknownst to the patient.
“It may take awhile ... but at some point in time during treatment a real personal connection will be established ... the patient realizes that you do really care about them. And the heartfelt respect and congeniality flows both ways. They become genuinely thankful for the service you are trying to provide.” — Thomas Kuhn
