Benefits of Orthodontics include aesthetics, health, and function. Orthodontics is a service that provides an improvement in the appearance of the teeth, in the general function of the teeth, and in general dental health. Teeth, gums, and jaws are an intricate body part and can fail to respond to treatment. If good oral hygiene is not practiced, tooth decay, decalcification, and enlarged gums can result. Joint discomfort and root shortening are observed in a small percentage of cases. Teeth change throughout our lifetime and there can be some movement of teeth and some change after treatment. I have read and understand this paragraph. I understand that my diagnostic records and my name may be used for educational purposes. I also understand that orthodontic appointments are often during work and/or school hours. I have truthfully answered all the above questions and agree to inform this office of any changes in my medical or dental history. Overby Orthodontics will not be held responsible for any problems arising out of inadequate or undisclosed information. In addition, I authorize Dr. Overby to perform a complete orthodontic evaluation.
