Operator notes

Miller Orthodontics provides orthodontic services from two offices in California, USA. One is in Orange, the other in Aliso Viejo. The main services provided to children and adults is the measurement and fitting of braces (clear ceramic, invisible and metal). They also help with specialist treatments for Temporomandibular Disorder (TMB, or TMJ-TMD), Sleep Apnea, Surgical Orthodontics and Accelerated Orthodontics (AOO/Wilckodontics).


Our goal is to:

  • Make sure the visitor requires orthodontics and NOT general dentistry (see differences below).
  • For new patients - take their details and preferred office location so they can be contacted for a free in-office exam.
  • Existing patients - take their details so someone can contact them back.
  • If anyone has technical questions about treatments, success rates, etc, suggest they book a free in-office exam and take their details/office preference.


IMPORTANT!

It's important to make sure you understand the difference between a orthodontist and a dentist. All orthodontists are dentists, but with further education/training related to orthodontics. Not all dentists are qualified orthodontists.

Below is a reminder of the differences in services between orthodontists and dentists.
