Posted on 10/1/2024 by Roncone Orthodontics

Customized treatment approaches make orthodontics surprisingly accessible for those with developmental delays, medical issues, or mobility impairments. Tailored care empowers an inclusive bite correction journey.

Accommodating Communication Differences


Longer appointment times benefit patients who find it challenging to understand instructions. These extended sessions provide an opportunity to educate them at a slower and more easily understandable pace, often with the help of visual aids. Having a caregiver present during medical procedures offers familiar support and helps interpret body language that indicates discomfort. Additionally, using hand signs, picture boards, and virtual simulations can further assist in explaining procedures, making patients feel more comfortable and at ease.

Staff undergo specialized training in guiding patients with sensory sensitivities or behavioral differences through potentially triggering aspects of treatment. Soothing distractions divert focus from new tastes and textures during oral impressions or temporary discomfort adjusting to braces.

Modifying Treatment Plans


Custom-built treatment plans are designed to address the specific oral health needs of individuals. These plans consider various factors, such as physical limitations that make brushing challenging or medications that increase the risk of decay. Considering these unique needs, treatment plans are tailored to enhance compatibility and improve oral health.

In cases of extensive tooth decay requiring extractions before getting braces, sedation dentistry provides a less traumatic experience. Dental procedures can be streamlined using surgical assistance or clear aligner options to accelerate teeth movement while avoiding bracket irritation.

Accessibility Adjustments


For wheelchair users, we ensure barrier-free office access and dental chairs that transfer easily from mobility devices. Being upfront about positioning limitations allows us to coordinate appropriate equipment and extra assistance.

Specialists can provide tele-orthodontic video check-ins for patients who cannot visit the office, allowing them to receive remote monitoring and support for their orthodontic treatment. Additionally, clear aligners can be delivered to the patients, eliminating the need for in-person visits every time. We help all patients realize healthier smiles through personalized accommodation. Contact us today to discuss tailored orthodontics for your unique situation.
