"I don't know why anyone would go anywhere else for their orthodontic needs. A friend recommended your office when we were in need and I cannot thank her enough. You all are really the best!!"

"What I really liked is no matter how scared Tiffany was about what was going to happen, you all made her feel better and more relaxed. I want to thank you very much. Her teeth look wonderful."

"Your organization is a model for the entire business community. Like the 'Wahoos'. Good incentive for the kids."

"From the very first visit, your staff was extremely friendly and professional. I've never seen a better run organization. I like the way each person has a specific duty and how well they communicate with the parents and child. Also, as a working mother I appreciated the timeliness of their appointments and an up-front estimate of how long the visit would take. Thank you!"

Ask Dr. Bernard: What makes a great patient?

All orthodontists have an image of the ideal orthodontic patient. The first quality that we look for in the initial exam is a patient that wants the treatment for a specific reason. People who have a goal of a better bite or smile generally cooperate better with the orthodontist and staff. Many patients are having treatment because it is their parents’ wishes; not theirs.

The second quality is great brushing habits and a concern about the health of their teeth and gums. Teeth do not move well when the gums are puffy and the final result never looks good; even though the teeth are straight. The teeth have white patches and are covered by fat, red gum tissue.

The next quality that makes a great patient is compliance with wearing rubber bands or removable appliances. Patients who wear rubber bands 24 hours a day get done faster with an ideal result.

Of course, a positive attitude and a pleasant demeanor makes the orthodontist day more satisfying and in turn, encourages him or her to spend more time with the patient encouraging them to continue progressing toward the final, ideal bite and smile.

Featured patient review for Bernard & Eimer Orthodontics

Dr. Bernard received a letter last week from Michael G., a former patient and thought he’d share it on the blog today:

Several years ago my wife and I were looking for an orthodontist. After several conversations one name kept coming up, Drs. Osborne, Bernard and Eimer. We had spoken with a few different orthodontists, and Drs. Osborne, Bernard and Eimer seemed the best fit. The doctors took the time to explain their plan on how they would align the kid's teeth.

After which I had spoken with Judi in accounts she walked us through the payment options. I especially liked that it was one price period, no hidden fees. Even for Emergency Visits or a broken bracket or if treatment took longer than expected. This is true, one price does cover it all.

The doctors are great, but the staff is wonderful. I can not explain how nice Terri and her staff treat each patient. They take the time to make sure the braces are as comfortable as possible. And if you need supplies (Christmas trees, wax) they are quick to hand you a handful. (Again no fee).

The wahoo program is a great incentive for the kids to maintain their braces. Once you call into the office Anita or Kelly are always willing to set appointments convenient to our needs.

We have had three kids with full braces and one with a quad helix. I was so happy with the results from the kid's braces; I had braces put on myself.
