Bandeen Orthodontics: Top Reasons to come to us!
1. Initial Examination by Dr. Tim Bandeen personally: At your initial visit, you have an examination from one of our doctors. The staff is there to help, but the exam is done by a doctor and no one else. You have time for "one on one" questions with Dr. Tim. Often, you will get to meet Dr. Emily at this appointment too. We does not leave diagnosis and treatment planning to anyone else; it is too important. Also, this gives you a chance to get to know your doctors. While having exceptional care is important, feeling comfortable with your orthodontist is important too. We feel that we can provide both the care you expect and the comfortable, friendly atmosphere that you deserve.
2. Our doctors place the braces (not the assistants): Our doctors are the only ones in our office who put braces on the teeth. The placement of braces is an essential aspect of orthodontic care. Our staff is highly skilled and very professional, and, while some offices have assistants place the braces, we at Bandeen Orthodontics believe that placement of the braces is one of the most important steps of your treatment, setting the stage for the success of your treatment. Braces should be placed by a doctor and treatment should be determined by the orthodontist, and that is what happens at our office.
3. A doctor sees every single patient: We are different because of our attention to detail. Even though our staff is one of the finest around, our doctors see every patient who comes to our office. Personal attention is what you can expect at our office. 4. Questions: We encourage our patients and their parents to be informed and to ask questions because orthodontics certainly requires a combined effort of our patients, our staff, and our doctor. Patients tell us daily that our willingness to answer questions and the fact that we actually encourage questions sets us apart is a very positive way from other offices.5. The Damon System: We are different because we use the Damon System™. Bandeen Orthodonitcs is the one and only office in Battle Creek, Marshall, Kalamazoo, Coldwater, and surrounding ares using the Damon System. In fact, we are the only office within about 40 miles of Battle Creek using the Damon System. Other offices actually say they are using "similar" systems, but you don't have to accept substitutes or imitations that fall short of the Damon System. Come to our office to see for yourself why the Damon System is the best orthodontic appliance available for your orthodontic treatment. It will be obvious to you why the Damon System is held as the gold standard of the next generation of braces.
6. Damon Insignia: In addition to the Damon System Braces, we use the Damon Insignia system for computer aided treatment. Through the Damon Insignia system, we have the capability of having our braces placed "virtually" with the aid of computer modeling so that the end results are in mind before the braces are even placed on your teeth. Also, wires are custom made to your particular treatment needs rather than just using standard sizes. The Damon Insignia system is not the only computer aided treatment model available, but, in the opinion of our doctors, it is the absolute best model available.
