It's normal for young people not to cooperate!

It’s normal for young people not to cooperate!

Everyone knows that the patient’s cooperation is essential during orthodontic treatment.

  • When there is a problem with any kind of cooperation with a young patient, we discuss it with him or her and share it with parents. Sometimes, some parents tell us that we must be aware that teenagers cannot cooperate fully and all the time. It is in the “nature” of the teenager, it is normal and it is a reality of today’s life that they try to explain to us! Perhaps… but the fact remains that lack of cooperation will always have important consequences on the quality, duration and success of orthodontic treatment.

young people do not cooperate

  • Regardless of what some parents may think, we know very well that, even if they consider a lack of cooperation to be normal, it is certainly possible for a child or adolescent to cooperate in an exemplary way throughout the course of treatment. We have seen this over and over again in patients who are motivated and interested in the success of their treatment. What would parents think if we told them: “you know, it’s normal that sometimes we don’t try to work well according to the rules of the art and use all our expertise, resources and knowledge to treat your child as best as possible”! I don’t think they would find that acceptable….
  • Adequate cooperation involves but is not limited to:
    • wear the rubber bands as prescribed,
    • have good oral hygiene and visit your general dentist regularly,
    • monitor your diet to ensure that you have an adequate diet and avoid equipment breakdowns and,
    • attendance at appointments.
