Choosing an Orthodontist

Here’s your guide to choosing the right orthodontist for you or your child’s needs.

We know just how important the health and appearance of your smile are. You want an orthodontist who listens to you, addresses your needs, and can provide you with the perfect treatment to give you a straighter smile. When you come into our Portage, MI, practice, our orthodontist Dr. Thomas Kwong will make sure that all of your needs are met. Here’s what you should know about shopping around for an orthodontist.

Check Reviews

What better way to find out what kind of experience you’re going to have at an orthodontist’s office than to check reviews? Reviews don’t lie! It’s a great way to get a more in-depth look into every facet of the patient experience. It can also steer you away from offices that may be overcrowded and too busy to give you the undivided attention you need. Want to read our reviews? We have 185 five-star Google reviews from happy patients who love working with our Portage, MI, orthodontist Dr. Kwong, and a 5 out of 5 rating on Facebook.

Ask for Personal Recommendations

Along with reviews, referrals or recommendations from family and friends can also be a great way to find the right orthodontist for you or your child. Talk with family members who have kids, as well as adults you might know who got braces later in life, and see which orthodontist they recommend. They may also provide you with helpful tips and advice that you might not find surfing the internet.

Check their Offerings

It’s important to know what the orthodontist will be able to offer you before you come into the practice so you’re not wasting your time. We know your time is limited and nothing is worse than finding out that the orthodontist you visited can’t offer you the same orthodontic treatments that others can.

Here at our Portage, MI, practice, we understand that the orthodontic needs of a child or teen are going to be vastly different from an adult. That’s why we offer everything from traditional and clear braces to nearly invisible aligner systems for teens and adults looking for more discreet treatment options.

Choosing the right orthodontist in Portage, MI, is an important decision and one that we know takes a lot of time and consideration. If you have questions about the services and care we offer, don’t hesitate to call Dr. Kwong of Kwong Orthodontics at (269) 327-4459.
