The world is a little different these days. After the coronavirus pandemic first hit, we stayed in our houses as much as possible. Now, people are trying to get back to their everyday lives slowly but surely. If you need to go to the orthodontist at this time, you may wonder what orthodontics after Covid-19 will look like. There will be a few changes in place that will help you feel safer the next time you need care from your local orthodontist.
Personal Protective Equipment
Personal Protective EquipmentPPE, or personal protective equipment, will be a huge part of maintaining a clean and safe environment for you and your family when it comes to orthodontics after Covid-19. Medical workers will wear masks, and you might even see some wearing a face shield and gloves. If you want to protect yourself the best you can, it’s a good idea for you to wear a mask, as well. Not only can it help keep you safe, but it will protect others around you, as well.
Virtual Consultations
There’s no need to come into the office if you just need to get a consultation. These days, it’s easier than ever to do that kind of thing online. Most orthodontists’ offices are doing virtual consultations now, so you can easily schedule one if you have important questions for your orthodontist.
Covid-19 Protocols
Every office will run differently when it comes to orthodontics after Covid-19. New protocols will vary from office to office, but keep in mind that they’re there to keep you safe. Professionals are working hard to ensure your safety when you have to come in for an appointment. If you have any specific questions about your office’s protocols, don’t be afraid to ask.
