Why Choose Dr. Leiker?
We know that choosing an orthodontist is a very important decision. It is a decision that will have an effect on the rest of your life. We also know that you have many other orthodontic offices and treatment options available. That is why we strive to maintain an orthodontic office that provides the best possible orthodontic experience as well as orthodontic treatment. Here are a few details about our office that we think will help you answer the question, "Why Choose Dr. Leiker?"
Highest Quality Treatment
Dr. Leiker uses only the best quality appliances for your orthodontic treatment. He evaluates and researches new technology as it becomes available. Many of the new technologies are strictly marketing ploys that do not add much or any value to the actual treatment of the patient, but which do add to the cost to the patient. Some of the new technologies that do contribute to better patient care are
ROTH ORTHODONTIC TECHNIQUE (For more information, click here)
A functional occlusion approach to orthodontic treatment, which means that it is a much more extensive diagnostic approach in evaluating the proper jaw position (TMJs), facial profile, and periodontal (gums and bones) health than traditional orthodontic techniques.
Aticulated Orthodontic Models
Models of the teeth along with jaw registration records are used to evaluate proper jaw position for each individual patient. Fewer than 10% of orthodontists today do this additional evaluation!
Computer-Aided Diagnostic Treatment Plans
Digital photos and x-rays are imported into a computer which can then be used to project future growth, treatment outcomes, and different treatment options. Fewer than 33% of orthodontists today do this additional evaluation!
IN-OVATION "R," "C,", "L" & MTM
(For more information, click here)
Self-Ligating Brackets create less friction for tooth movement as the teeth slide along the orthodontic wires. This leads to:
- Faster tooth movement
- Fewer appointments required
- Shorter treatment times
- Less patient discomfort
- Better final tooth positions
INCOGNITO / IBRACES
(For more click here)
Dr. Leiker is one of the first in The Woodlands / Conroe area to offer this new aesthetic alternative to metal braces. These braces are placed behind the teeth where no one can see them. They are custom made for the individual patient to fit as precisely and comfortably as possible. It is a great aesthetic alternative for working professionals, models, and older teenagers and adults who not want visible braces.
BIOFORCE NICKEL-TITANIUM WIRES
BioForce© is a superelastic, body-heat-activated archwire that graduates in force from about 100 grams in the anterior to about 300 grams in the molar region. This provides biologically correct forces to the different teeth which are safer and more efficient for the teeth and bones than the old traditional wires.
- Faster tooth movement
- Fewer appointments
- Less patient discomfort
SMALLER SIZE ORTHODONTIC PRACTICE
We have specifically designed our office to maintain a smaller size in order to ensure that we provide personal attention to our patients and provide controlled, quality orthodontic care rather than becoming a large clinic-like practice that is too busy to give each person the time and individual attention they deserve. It also enables us to run on schedule and respect your time. Patients seldom have to wait for their appointments. In addition, with the more personal-service orientation of our office, parents are welcome to come back and observe and ask questions regarding their child's treatment. We want the patients and parents to feel totally comfortable and confident in the treatment they are receiving.
SUPERIOR CUSTOMER SERVICE
We have been told by many of our patients that what makes our office different is the people who work here. It is a very relaxed and friendly environment where everyone feels welcome. A large portion of our practice comes from our patients' referrals. They feel comfortable and confident in referring their family and friends to us because they know that our office will provide the best overall orthodontic experience.
