Hi josephsantana,

When I have an appointment with the orthodontist, I have my list of questions/concerns ready to ask him. He always takes the time to answer all of my questions. I suggest that you try this method. You will leave the office feeling better that you have gotten your questions answered. It is up to the orthodontist to answer your questions. Unless you ask, the orthodontist doesn't know what your questions are.
