Why do some orthodontists avoid adult patients?
In this episode, I address a common question I receive: why do I prefer treating adults when many orthodontists shy away from them?
The truth is that adults bring a level of appreciation and responsibility that transforms the treatment experience.
My background as a restorative dentist shaped my approach to adult orthodontics. Unlike children, adults value their treatment because they are the ones paying for it.
This appreciation often leads to more straightforward communication and a fulfilling relationship between patient and provider.
I also discuss the profitability of adult cases compared to pediatric ones and how good verbal skills can improve patient interactions.
If you're considering expanding your practice to include more adult patients, this episode could change your perspective. Tune in!
