Patient Education
At Cosse & Silmon Orthodontics, we believe patient education is essential to successful orthodontic treatment. That’s why we’re proud to offer our patients access to Braces Academy, a comprehensive educational resource that covers all aspects of orthodontic treatment.
Braces Academy covers a wide range of topics related to orthodontic treatment, from the basics of how braces work to more advanced topics like orthodontic emergencies and oral hygiene. The program is designed to give our patients the knowledge and tools they need to be informed and active participants in their treatment.
