Orthodontics After Covid-19

In this post, we’ll look at the future of orthodontics after Covid-19. 

In some ways, the pandemic has changed the health care industry forever. Fortunately, that includes some positive changes. For example, virtual consultations are making it easier than ever to get started with orthodontic treatment.

Free Virtual Consultations from Home

John Orthodontics is happy to offer free virtual consultations. So, you can stay safe at home and get a free smile assessment. At John Orthodontics, you can get a free assessment from a board-certified orthodontist, Dr. Eliane John, DDS.

Now, let’s take a closer look at other ways Covid-19 has changed orthodontics.

We’re Keeping Everyone Safe!

At John Orthodontics, we focus on keeping everyone safe. That’s always been true. However, now we’re doing much more as we take necessary steps to stop the spread of Covid-19.

To keep you safe, we’re following recommendations from many experts from:

• The State and Federal Government
• Centers for Disease Control
• American Association of Orthodontics
• The Florida Dental Association
• American Dental Association

Here in Florida, the Governor announced that elective procedures could resume in early May using safety protocols to mitigate risks. 

Wearing PPE at All Times

Following recommendations, we are using enhanced PPE like plastic sheet protectors, masks, and coats. Between each patient visit, we change to new PPE and disinfect all office spaces. It’s a simple but effective way to help prevent the spread of the virus.

Safety and Disinfection Protocols 

Wearing PPE is a simple and effective way to stop the spread of Covid-19. Besides the fact that we looked a bit different, you can be sure we still are the same joyful people on the inside!

To keep everyone safe, we’re screening all office staff for symptoms, as well as all patients. Check out our Covid-19 Health Form to see how we’re carefully screening our patients.

Note: before you arrive for your appointment, we’ll go over the new protocols. Thanks for your patience and understanding as we navigate these challenging times together. 

Today, we’re strictly following guidelines, wearing PPE, observing disinfecting protocols, and using personal barriers. However, a risk remains in all public places today. So, to begin in-office treatment, you will be required to sign an Informed Consent Form.

Keep in mind, you can always start a virtual consultation with no risk from home. Then, we can discuss scheduling your first office visit when you’re ready to begin.
