Before beginning treatment, obtain informed consent.

Did you know failure to obtain proper informed consent is one of the most common allegations in malpractice claims against orthodontists? In claims related to improper informed consent, patients have alleged they were not adequately informed about:

Risks (root resorption, periodontal damage, relapse, pain)
Alternatives (no treatment, different appliances, referral to surgery)
Limitations or realistic outcomes

See how you can reduce your risk of a malpractice claim by obtaining proper informed consent
