Interview with Inga Barks

AM 1180 Kern News Talk Radio host Inga Barks recently visited us at Montano Orthodontics to begin orthodontic treatment for her twin boys Sam and Josh. She shared a few details about their experience with Dr. Montano and the team, along with the SureSmile system. Check out the interview below, and stay tuned for more news from Inga, Sam and Josh at Montano Orthodontics!

Why did you choose Montano Orthodontics?

We originally chose Dr. Montano because we were referred by our dentist. But it was the consultation that sealed the deal. We saw photos, we were given options, Dr. Montano visited with me and the boys personally, and didn't even seem to mind answering all of their "14 year old" questions.

What did you think about your exam experience? Was it thorough? Did Dr. Montano answer all of your questions about your boy's treatment?

He answered every question. What was great was that we left feeling that we were the only patients he has (or the most important ones). :)

What do you think about the Technology SureSmile? What do your boy's think about SureSmile?

Sam and Josh are identical twins and both have some unusual challenges. Both have baby teeth that are buried in their gums and growing in the wrong direction. Both have very overlapping teeth. I don't mind saying, they are good looking boys, but they are very aware of their mangled smiles. I don't remember being "excited" about getting braces. Sam and Josh are extremely excited about the fact that they will ultimately have great smiles and healthy teeth in less time by utilizing the SureSmile process. And I am personally amazed at how far we've come since I had my braces!

What do your boys think about the games in the office?

Anytime a child puts down their text messaging or iPod Touch to play in your arcade, you KNOW you've got a terrific facility!!!
