Orthotown September 2019 - 46
Pediatric Dentists'
Do you know who's referring to you?

F
or quite some time, the line between the specialties of orthodontics
and pediatric dentistry has been a blurry one. The amount of
orthodontic knowledge among the pediatric dental community-as
well as their desire to refer cases to an orthodontist-varies
greatly, because of the dentists' training programs, personal experiences
and patient expectations.
But no matter how you look at it, confidence in orthodontic services
by a pediatric dentist is an essential pillar in the referral network that
we orthodontists need.
Some pediatric dentists feel compelled to manage certain orthodontic
issues, believing that the service they provide is best accomplished while
under their care, then refer to an orthodontist only after their "limited
treatment" has been completed. But what if the recommended treatment
plans are different? What if treatment can be accomplished in one rather
than two phases? What if the orthodontist doesn't believe in early treatment,
based on research or anecdotes that have been published indicating that
most orthodontic care can be completed in one phase?
Whatever the reason, renewed interest in Phase I or early care has
been happening, due in part to cone beam radiography and visualization
of airways and the transverse dimension. Functional orthopedics is being
revitalized with the reintroduction of positioner-type devices designed
to encourage forward posturing of the mandible, proper placement of
the tongue and advancement of teeth often at a very young age. All in
the name of the airway and sleep disorders!
Also, "cosmetic" orthodontics is making a comeback, or being
introduced as the key to a great smile, emphasizing the smile arc or the
12-tooth (or "wide") smile.
I quizzed two pediatric dentists to ask their views on a multitude of
orthodontic topics, with the goal of uncovering the trend in the pediatric
dentistry profession that will ultimately affect us as orthodontists through
referrals.
One pediatric dentist, Dr. Candace Veneberg, has a solo practice that's
located amid several progressive as well as traditional orthodontists. The
other, Dr. Robert Matthews, is my new business partner. He's been in
practice for several years, working closely with an established orthodontic
practice before he ventured out on his own, ultimately to partner with me.
