What Sets Us Apart We know that choosing an orthodontist is a very personal decision. There are many orthodontic offices and treatment options available to you. Here are just a few details about our office that describe what sets us apart. Excellence in Orthodontics We provide our patients with the highest quality orthodontic care in a personal, professional environment. Getting to know you and meeting your individual orthodontic needs are our foremost concerns. One Orthodontist - One Office Location We have one office location and one orthodontist. You can count on Dr. Studebaker's personal attention at every appointment! New Facility All the equipment and facilities at Studebaker Orthodontics are new and maintained in the best of conditions with a rigorous maintenance schedule. Complimentary Initial Exam Every patient gets a complimentary and comprehensive explanation of your treatment needs on your first visit. The doctor personally discusses his findings with you. Cutting Edge Technology Our office is technologically advanced in the field of orthodontics. We offer not only digital photographs, records and models, but also digital X-rays. Digital X-rays produce 80% less radiation that the traditional variety. Our office is nearly paperless, allowing us to provide our patients with faster and more efficient service. We Utilize the Latest Systems Available There are new and exciting treatment modalities in orthodontics. In the past, orthodontists would use heavy forces to move the teeth. Today in orthodontics we utilize light forces and low friction to move teeth faster and more gently than ever before. The results are outstanding. The patients in our office benefit from our use of these latest technologies in the following ways: Treatment is much more gentle — your teeth don't get as sore! Treatment time can be much shorter. Appointments are typically 8 weeks or more apart — this means you miss less school! Each appointment is easier and quicker. We have clear and invisible braces available. Meticulous Sterilization Our patients can be assured that we follow all of the OSHA guidelines for sterilization techniques. We use hospital grade sterilizers and test the equipment regularly to adhere to the strictest of protocols. Enhanced Web Services Through our web services, our patients have the option to receive e-mail appointment reminders, look at their initial and progress pictures online, check their appointment times online, review their account information, and receive our monthly newsletter. This web service is available 24/7, and is a convenient way for our patients to stay connected to our office from home! Invisible Retainers When the braces come off, our patients have the option to receive invisible retainers or fixed (permanent) retainers. These retainers are custom designed to fit only your beautiful new smile. Fun for the Kids There is always something fun to do at Studebaker Orthodontics whether you are 4 or 14. We have a play area for the small kids, and offer video games for the older kids. Contests & Cool Prizes We do everything we can to make your orthodontic experience fun and exciting. At Studebaker Orthodontics, there is always a contest to enter and a prize up for grabs! Whether it's "Send us a vacation picture to win an iPod" or "Count the number of jelly beans in the jar to win a digital camera"... we make it fun! Superior Customer Service Orthodontic treatment is a long term, ongoing process. Knowing this, we strive to make your orthodontic treatment in our office a positive experience. We believe that the "customer always comes first"! Getting to know you and meeting your individual orthodontic needs are our foremost concerns.
