20 years ago it was not uncommon to hear of comprehensive orthodontic treatment taking 2 to 4 years.Today, at Bruner Orthodontics in Redmond, we usually can achieve ideal results in about 18 months!

While it is true that orthodontics is faster today than it has ever been, we also want to be efficient and respectful of a patient’s time and of their busy schedules. Therefore we are also focused on the number of appointments needed to get a patient from start to finish. Many practice management articles published in the AJODO (American Journal of Orthodontics) and the JCO (Journal of Clinical Orthodontics) have studied practice efficiencies that include the number of appointments needed for orthodontic treatment.  A good goal for Orthodontics in 2013 is to have 18-20 regular appointments to complete comprehensive orthodontic treatment. In a recent study at Bruner Orthodontics during the summer of 2012 it was determined that our patients 13 regular appointments to complete their orthodontic treatment!

Why is Bruner Orthodontics so efficient? Efficient, quality driven orthodontic treatment must begin with the end in mind. Bruner Orthodontics has developed systems for treatment that help patients get from start to finish with elegant efficiency while achieving the best results possible. What are some of the things we do that make Bruner Orthodontics the best and most efficient place to have your braces or invisalign?

* We start by placing all your braces at one time.

* We utilized light force, short elastics from the beginning of treatment.

* We use the light force, low friction Damon Braces (One way we achieve that is by using the Damon System, a low friction, tie-less bracket system that allow greater time between appointments while still allowing us to achieve spectacular results!)

* We disarticulate the bite (open it up) from the beginning to take the muscles of mastication (chewing) and facial expression away from being able to slow down tooth movement

Come to Bruner Orthodontics and check out what we do. Read our reviews and find out what thousands of other patients have to say about their treatment experiences at our office. When it comes quality driven orthodontic treatment Bruner Orthodontics is consistently providing the fastest and most efficient orthodontic treatment available today!

Let’s look at one of our patients. This is a case of a patient that travelled from Rochester, MN to Redmond, WA for each appointment, and was treated in 7 total appointments (5 adjustment appointments) in 18 months:

Dr Bruner and every member of the Bruner Orthodontic Team strive to take truly outstanding care of each and every patient. Our goal is to exceed their expectations! It is our hope that each and every patient will have the best long term health, function and esthetics for their face and teeth!

As always if you or a friend are looking for outstanding orthodontic care, call Bruner Orthodontics today in Redmond to schedule a complimentary examination!

The post How long should my orthodontic treatment take at Bruner Orthodontics in Redmond? appeared first on Bruner Ortho.

Each and every day we work hard to educate and motivate each patient to do what they need to do to get the best results in shortest amount of time. When patients finish their orthodontic treatment early, you can be sure that they were great patients!

But what makes a great orthodontic patient?

A great patient:

1. Keeps their teeth clean with regimented brushing and flossing

2. Is careful with what they eat to make sure they don’t break their appliances.

3. Wears their light and gentle elastics 24 hours a day to move teeth to their ideal position.

Take a look at the patient below, her upper jaw is significantly ahead of her lower jaw. She came to Bruner Orthodontics to achieve an ideal smile and perfect bite. Her treatment was estimated to take between 18 and 24 months. She was a “Great Patient” and completed her treatment in 16 months with Damon Braces! She achieved ideal results in a relatively short amount of time!

If you meet a patient with great results and shorter treatment time, you can congratulate them for their part in the achieving those results. If you meet a patient whose results aren’t what you would like to see and their treatment time is long, it may be because they were not doing there part.

As always, if you know of anyone considering orthodontic treatment with either braces or invisalign, please have them call Bruner Orthodontics  in Redmond today to schedule their complimentary new patient exam!

When we reviewed the records of patients that we treated previously with traditional twin brackets and colored elastic ties the average treatment time was 27 months and required 30 appointments. These cases had nice results and used traditional orthodontic treatment with appointments every four weeks. Our cases treated with the Damon System averaged 18 months and 16 appointments with appointments every 8-10 weeks. Our patients are really happy with their outstanding results, fewer appointments and shorter treatment time.

What do the results look like? Here are some recently completed cases that used the Damon sytem and took just 14-18 months to complete:

How is this possible? The low friction, light forces applied through continuously working archwires (heat activated copper-nickel-titanium archwires) allow 10 weeks between appointments.
