Evidence-based orthodontics
Our core mission is to provide the best possible orthodontic care (evidence-based orthodontics) to our patients considering all patient values and preferences.
This mission is based on the 3 guiding principles of evidence-based orthodontics:
(1) Patient Values and Preferences (2) Best Research Evidence and (3) Clinical Expertise.
(1) Patient Values and Preferences (2) Best Research Evidence and (3) Clinical Expertise.
Clinicians should be sensitive and have good communication skills to assess the true values and preference of each individual patient (Patient important outcomes or Patient centered outcomes). Best research evidence and solid clinical expertise without fully understanding what a patient really wants can lead to disappointments of both patients and clinicians. Clinicians should work together with each individual patient and aim at shared decision making on their orthodontic treatment plan.
Best research evidence
We are passionate about providing individualized orthodontic treatment for our patients based on best available research evidence. Our doctors’ research experience enables them to critically appraise scientific literature and identify the highest-quality evidence. This skill helps us select the best treatment protocols for each patient’s specific needs.
Clinical expertise
Solid diagnostic and clinical knowledge and experience are key for providing the best possible orthodontic care for our patients. By exclusively focusing on orthodontics, our practice has been able to dedicate all efforts to raising our standards of care. We maintain a commitment to continuous improvement through research, teaching, and participation in national and international courses and conferences.
