What Makes an Orthodontist the “Best”?

Choosing the right orthodontist is one of the most important decisions you’ll make for your family’s oral health. With so many options in Cincinnati, how do you know which orthodontist truly deserves the title of “best”? Here’s what sets exceptional orthodontic care apart from the rest.

Board Certification: The Gold Standard of Orthodontic Excellence

Did you know that only about 30% of orthodontists are board certified? This voluntary credential represents the highest level of professional achievement in orthodontics. Dr. Stephen Haverkos is proud to be among this elite group of board-certified orthodontists who have gone above and beyond standard requirements.

Board certification through the American Board of Orthodontics means Dr. Haverkos has:

• Completed hundreds of additional hours of rigorous preparation
• Passed comprehensive written and oral examinations
• Successfully defended complex treatment cases before expert panels
• Demonstrated excellence in orthodontic knowledge, judgment, and clinical skills
• Committed to ongoing education and the highest quality patient care

When you choose a board-certified orthodontist like Dr. Haverkos, you’re choosing someone who has proven their expertise at the highest professional level—giving you confidence that your family is receiving the absolute best care possible.

Meet Millie: Our Therapy Dog Who Makes All the Difference

Orthodontic anxiety affects up to 80% of patients, but at Haverkos Family Orthodontics, we have a secret weapon for helping nervous patients feel at ease: Millie, our certified therapy dog.

Research consistently shows that therapy dogs can:

• Significantly reduce stress and anxiety levels
• Lower blood pressure and heart rate
• Provide calming distraction during procedures
• Create positive associations with dental visits
• Help both children and adults feel more comfortable

Millie has become one of our patients’ favorite team members. Whether you’re 7 or 70, there’s something magical about having a gentle, friendly companion by your side during treatment. Many families specifically request appointments when Millie is available, and we’ve had new patients call asking if we’re “the office with the therapy dog.”

Fun fact: Studies show that over 82% of patients believe therapy animals reduce anxiety and make dental experiences more enjoyable—and nearly half would choose an orthodontic office specifically because they offer animal-assisted therapy.

Common Orthodontic Issues We Treat

At Haverkos Family Orthodontics, we specialize in treating a wide range of orthodontic conditions. Some of the most common issues we address include overbite treatment and crossbite treatment, both of which can significantly impact your oral health and confidence if left untreated.

The Perfect Balance: Professional Excellence Meets Fun Environment

Why “Fun” Matters in Orthodontic Care

At Haverkos Family Orthodontics, we believe that orthodontic treatment should be something you actually look forward to. We’re consistently recognized as the most fun office in Cincinnati while maintaining the highest professional standards—and that’s no accident.

A positive, enjoyable atmosphere doesn’t just make visits more pleasant; it actually improves treatment outcomes because:

• Relaxed patients are more cooperative during procedures
• Positive experiences encourage better compliance with treatment instructions
• Children develop healthy attitudes toward dental care that last a lifetime
• Families are more likely to complete treatment and maintain regular visits

What Makes Our Office Atmosphere Special

State-of-the-Art Technology Meets Warm Hospitality

Our Bridgetown office features:

• iTero Digital Scanners: No more messy impressions—just quick, comfortable 3D scans
• Digital X-rays: Safer radiation levels with instant, crystal-clear images

• Advanced Treatment Planning Software: See your future smile before treatment even begins

But technology is only part of the story. What really makes us special is our team’s genuine care for every patient who walks through our doors.
