Adjunctive Treatment
Working with your dentist to create the best dental and orthodontic health possible.
Offering adjunctive treatment is not something that every orthodontist does. Here at Emily Funk Orthodontics, Dr. Funk is completely committed to your overall periodontal health, no matter how you achieve it. This is why we are proud to offer adjunctive treatment to our patients.
When undergoing adjunctive treatment, Dr. Funk will not work alone. This specific type of treatment involves both your orthodontist, Dr. Funk, and your dentist to be involved.
Since this treatment deals with both dental and orthodontic health, it’s more beneficial to have multiple doctors working together.
So what exactly is adjunctive treatment? What can it do? Keep reading to find out more!
Working Together for Better Results
Adjunctive treatment is described as when a secondary treatment works alongside the primary treatment in order to assist the primary treatment in completing the goal. To simplify, adjunctive treatment is the process of undergoing two treatments in order to reach the desired result.
Since two treatments are being recommended, Dr. Funk will work closely with your general dentist, or a specialist in order to create a treatment plan that works for you.
This treatment is beneficial for both your general dentist, Dr. Funk, and most importantly, you! Your orthodontic and dental health are very intertwined, and being able to complete treatment that benefits both is best for you. This can lead to better future periodontic health, avoiding future problems you might have.

The dental aspect of this treatment is completely handled by your general dentist or specialist, so make sure to consult with them to fully understand the length of your treatment.
