Care Planned Around Each Patient
Toronto Inclusive Orthodontics provides orthodontic care for patients with special healthcare needs in Toronto. Treatment planning considers clinical findings alongside each person's communication preferences, sensory needs, and ability to take part in care. Families and support people can share helpful information so the team can plan appointments and explain options with greater clarity.
Orthodontic treatment is not the same for everyone. An assessment helps determine whether treatment may be suitable and what approaches could fit a patient's needs and goals. The team can discuss possible appliances, daily care, and appointment expectations, while coordinating with families and other care providers when appropriate.
Common Questions
Who can benefit from an orthodontic consultation?
Children, teens, and adults with special healthcare needs may benefit from an assessment if they have concerns about tooth position or bite. An orthodontist can review clinical findings and discuss whether treatment is suitable.
What should I share before the first appointment?
Share relevant medical information, communication preferences, sensory needs, and any supports that help the patient feel comfortable. You can also mention concerns about examination, noise, waiting, or oral care.
What happens during an orthodontic assessment?
The orthodontist reviews the patient's teeth, bite, and treatment goals, using an approach suited to the visit. The team can discuss possible options, care requirements, and whether more information is needed.
Can a family member or support person attend?
Families and support people can help explain the patient's preferences and assist with communication, subject to the patient's needs and consent. Contact the office ahead of time to discuss how to plan the visit.
How do we know if braces are appropriate?
Suitability depends on the patient's oral health, orthodontic needs, ability to manage the appliance, and available support. An assessment helps identify potential benefits, practical care considerations, and other options.
