Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / September 2007Start orthodontic treatment and move overseas
We live in China now. When we were at a dental clinic for general cleaning, the dentist recommended my 11-year-old daughter have orthodontics treatment after taking the teeth profile (not sure what to call it) and X-rays. She says the best time to start is right before menarche. But we may leave in 6 months to 1 year for US. Another dental clinic checked her teeth (for free, during promotion) and told us there's no such need for her. Suppose we do decide to let her wear brace now, how much trouble is there to move to another country and have another clinic continue to do regular checkup on her? Thanks. Yong Huang yong321 at yahoo.com Unless your Chinese clinic is planning some sore of short term treatment which will be complete before you leave for the USA, don't bother. Wait until you get to the USA, and have an Orthodontist evaluate her. Best wishes  Signature/ Amatus / > We live in China now.

We're on expat assignment. It will end in one year at the longest.

Depends on what treatment is being recommended. Agree with my sister on this one, if the treatment is going to be longer than a year just wait. Orthos will finish cases that they didn't start, but they don't like it much. >Thanks, Newbie (I hate to call you by that modest name. Maybe >Whamatus). Unfortunately that's not an option.

Is it true that the teeth "profile" useless after about two months? I don't know if they're willing to let us own it. (What's the general practice of a dentistry?) Also, how about the X- ray images? I lent it from them but can't copy using a regular copying machine.

[quoted text clipped - 32 lines] >> > Yong Huang >> > yong321 at yahoo.com Every dentist who treats you must perform an examination before treatment. That examination may be minimal or complete depending on the situation. I don't know about rules in China. In the USA, the information in your dental record belongs to you, but the paper, film and computer medium belong to the dental office. You are always entitled to a copy of your records in the USA, but you must pay a "reasonable" copying fee. I hope this helps. Signature/ Amatus / > Thanks, Amatus.

[quoted text clipped - 32 lines] >> > Yong Huang >> > yong321 at yahoo.com Thanks. That helps. Is it worth taking a copy of the teeth profile? I don't know how to make a copy though. And it's possible it's completely useless after a few months?

If the current records are available, and the copying charge is reasonable, having it with you can't hurt. Signature/ Amatus / > Thanks. That helps. Is it worth taking a copy of the teeth profile?
