Wazio OrthodonticsA dazzling smile is not just about aesthetics…it's also
crucial for maintaining proper oral health. When it comes to perfecting your
smile, choosing the right orthodontist is paramount. With numerous options
available, navigating the sea of orthodontic practices can be overwhelming.
However, with some thoughtful consideration, you can find the perfect match for
your orthodontic needs.
First and foremost, prioritize qualifications and
credentials. Look for an orthodontist who is certified by reputable
professional organizations like the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO). Certification indicates that the orthodontist has undergone rigorous
training and adheres to high standards of practice.
Dr. Wazio strives to stay current with all new developments
in Orthodontics. He is an active member of the American Association of Orthodontics,
Illinois Society of Orthodontics, Midwestern Society of Orthodontics, American
Dental Association, and the Illinois State Dental Society. He is also past
President of the Fox River Valley Dental Society.
Next, consider experience. While newer practitioners may
offer innovative techniques, there's no substitute for experience when it comes
to orthodontic treatment. An orthodontist who has been in practice for several
years has likely encountered a wide range of cases and can provide valuable
insights and expertise.
Dr. Wazio is a Chicagoland native. He received both his
Bachelor of Science degree (1987) and his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree
(1991) from Loyola University of Chicago. After completing his General Practice
residency at Michael Reese Hospital in 1992, Dr. Wazio attended St. Louis
University where he received his Certificate of Orthodontics and Masters Degree
in 1997.
He and his team have a wealth of dental experience averaging
over 17 years. The front desk team is well versed in answering insurance and finance questions and is always just a phone call away in assisting you in
every way possible. We offer a wide range of orthodontic services ranging from
early interceptive treatment for young children to comprehensive treatment foradolescents and adults.
Furthermore, seek recommendations from trusted sources such
as friends, family, or general dentists. Personal referrals often provide
genuine insights into the patient experience, including the orthodontist's treatment
outcomes and overall satisfaction.
Dr. Wazio believes that the greatest compliment his patients
can give is to tell their family and friends where they got their new smile!
Our patients make our day with their willingness to contribute such kind words
when it comes to the treatment they receive at our office. Their trust in Wazio Orthodontics means the world to us.
Take the time to research the orthodontist's treatment
approach and technologies. Orthodontic treatment has evolved significantly,
with options ranging from traditional braces to clear aligners like Invisalign.
Choose an orthodontist who offers the latest advancements in technology and a
variety of treatment options tailored to your specific needs and preferences.
Advances in Orthodontic technology have allowed Dr. Wazio
and his team to more precisely diagnose and treat our patients. We have
committed ourselves to staying in a leadership position in all aspects of
orthodontics…allowing us to better serve you and your family. Many options for
treatment are available, including colored braces, clear braces, and Invisalign.
Additionally, consider the convenience of location and
office hours. Orthodontic treatment often requires frequent visits, so
selecting an orthodontist with a convenient location and flexible scheduling
can make the process more manageable and less disruptive to your daily life.

Lastly, don't overlook the importance of rapport and
communication. Your orthodontist should listen to your concerns, answer your
questions, and involve you in the decision-making process. A good rapport
fosters trust and ensures a collaborative approach to achieving your desired
outcome.
Your first visit to Wazio Orthodontics is a 60-minute
appointment which will allow Dr. Wazio and his team to gather some information
and perform a clinical examination. When you call to schedule this appointment,
you will be asked to provide some personal information, along with any
orthodontic insurance coverage you may have so that we can verify your benefits
prior to your visit and provide you with the most accurate estimate. Once Dr. Wazio has completed his clinical examination, a recommendation will be made as
to how to proceed.

journey to a confident, healthy smile. By considering qualifications,
experience, recommendations, treatment approach, convenience, and
communication, you can make an informed decision and embark on your orthodontic
treatment with confidence. Remember, your smile deserves nothing but the best
care!
