Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Good Neighbor Podcast, North Atlanta,
where local businesses andneighbors come together.
Here's your host, Stacey Risley.
Hello friends and neighbors,Welcome to North Atlanta's Good
Neighbor Podcast.
Today we are here back with DrJason Kaplan with Kaplan
Orthodontics here in Dunwoody.
(00:21):
He's one of my favorite podcastguests to have on and one of my
first sponsors when I firstlaunched Dunwoody Neighbors
Magazine, and so happy to haveDr Kaplan back with us today.
So welcome back, Dr Kaplan.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Thank you, stacey.
I got to tell you it's amazingwhat you have done over this
very short period of time thatyour podcast has been around,
your magazine has been around.
I mean it has really become astaple in the community to be
able to get to know families andto see really what's going on,
kind of tap into some of theexpert thoughts from the local
(00:55):
folks.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
So I'm really grateful to be able.
Expert panel I think you areprobably one of our most
consistent experts as far as youknow just consistently
submitting articles to shareyour expertise and coming back
on the podcast to discuss.
So I really appreciate yourinvolvement in getting this
valuable information to thecommunity that you serve.
So very reciprocal relationshiphere Like that a lot.
(01:25):
Well, in today's article I loveit's nice, and I say today it's
actually in the current Novemberissue of Dunwoody Neighbors, so
it is today's article.
But the article we'rediscussing today is pretty
simple in the sense of your.
It's about choosing the rightorthodontic care and you know
there's some things I'm surethat you want to advise.
(01:47):
You know parents, adults alike,you know some pitfalls to avoid
perhaps.
So, really, this, this willjust be you sharing with with
our listeners today.
You know what are some of thethings they need to think about,
because not all of ourlisteners do live in Dunwoody
right, so they might be hearingthis and live in a totally
different part of Atlanta andtake this information to find
(02:12):
out who their orthodontist isgoing to be.
So what do our listeners needto keep in mind?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Well, let me first start out by saying why I
selected this topic for themonth of November.
Right around this time, peopleare starting to look at their
flexible savings accounts,they're starting to look at
getting insurance and they'retrying to figure out how to be
able to budget for an expenselike orthodontics.
And it's one of those thingsthat you're going to buy a car,
you're going to get married,you're going to send your kids
(02:40):
to school and likely they'regoing to have braces.
These are kind of staple thingsthat happen in somebody's life,
especially if you're going tohave children and you know
trying to plan for it is reallyimportant.
So around this time of year, weget a lot of phone calls asking
for exams, for folks to come inand see what is it that they're
going to need, and so, asthey're doing that, they're
looking at their options onlineLike how do I get my teeth
(03:03):
straight and is it going to takea long time and what are the
type of options that are goingto be available?
And I've spoken before ofdifferent types of braces and
different types of orthodonticmaterials or appliances to be
able to get straight teeth, butI really want to break this down
(03:23):
into three separate buckets.
So, online, what you will findif you do a search for
orthodontics you will find somedo-it-yourself providers, you
will find general dentists andpediatric dentists who offer
orthodontic services, as well as, of course, orthodontists, and
those are three very differenttypes of experiences and I'll
jump into each one individuallyand then we'll go through.
(03:45):
You know what are theadvantages of each?
Well, do-it-yourselforthodontics is exactly as it
says, you make a mold of yourown teeth or you find a provider
that will do athree-dimensional scan of your
teeth, thus get sent away.
There is some dental providermaybe an orthodontist, maybe a
general dentist, maybe even atechnician who worked for an
(04:08):
aligner company and they try tobuild a treatment plan based on
what your goals are in order tostraighten your teeth, but then
that's kind of the end of it.
There's no, there's no onefollowing you around.
So it really is do it yourself,because even though you're
given a little guidance in thebeginning, it is really up to
you to figure out when you know,as are things progressing, the
(04:29):
way that they're supposed to.
General dentists, cosmeticdentists, pediatric dentists
have tons of education when itcomes to all things dental.
As a as someone who is anorthodontistist, you have to go
through dental school first, andso basic procedures, root canal
therapy, extractions,periodontal problems all those
(04:50):
things orthodontists have beentrained in when they were going
through dental school, and, andwith that, dentists are also
introduced to orthodontics.
So there are general dentistsin the community who will take
continuing education courses tobe able to move teeth, to help
them better their relationshipswith their patients, because
(05:10):
they can offer more services tothem, which I think is really
admirable, you know, being ableto have additional skill sets so
that you're able to take careof your patients, so that you're
able to take care of yourpatients.
Maybe you've got someone whohas lost a tooth and another
tooth has kind of collapsed intothat area and you want to
straighten up those teeth so youhave a place to be able to put
an implant.
Or there's just some otherminor tooth movement.
(05:31):
A tooth sticks out a little toofar and you want to nudge it
back and that's something thatcan be done very simply in a
general dental office and it'sreally nice to have those
providers in the community andInvisalign and aligner companies
like Invisalign have made itvery feasible for folks to be
able to do that through theirgeneral practitioner.
(05:53):
And then it comes to theorthodontist, and the
orthodontist is someone who'shad two to three years of
additional training beyonddental school more than just
weekend courses or maybe even ashorter six-month course, but
something where we have reallybeen through the trials and
tribulations of how does theoral facial complex develop,
(06:13):
when are the right times for theteeth to be able to come in,
how do we guide jaws and teethinto the right spot so that
we're creating the best possiblesmile and the best long-term
outcome, so that themalocclusion or the bad bite is
something of the past and thesmile is something that they
share every single day.
So when we look atdo-it-yourself orthodontics, as
(06:35):
I said before, you run into theproblem of what happens if
there's a problem and just theother day the second company has
now gone out of business ofmaking big promises to folks
about we can do this for verylittle money and that's the big
draw.
Right, If I can do it for lessif I can have a brand, if I can
(07:00):
have a substitute brand.
That's not exactly what I couldget if I went with a name brand,
then maybe I can save a littlemoney and get what I want.
But what you're missing out onis there's not somebody
following that case, and sothere are reactions for every
reaction.
So if I'm trying to move atooth, I have to set up the
(07:20):
system in a way where eitheranother tooth moves to help that
tooth or another tooth stays inplace in order to help that
tooth move, and that's not whatyou're getting when you follow a
program like do-it-yourselforthodontics.
I could see if there was acouple teeth that needed to be
straightened, but it becomes aslippery slope when you're
(07:41):
trying to do very complex things.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I was going to say that is not an area that I
personally would feelcomfortable doing.
A do it yourself and fix it.
You know, like that's not likegetting generic cereal at the
grocery store and hoping that ittastes almost the same.
Your smile is something you'representing, you know.
Know, like that's the firstthing people see really when
(08:05):
they meet you.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Hopefully, if you're, if you're a smiley, happy
person, I mean, I don't know howI would feel about those
do-it-yourself orthodontics yeah, and in the world of meetings,
right when, after we got throughcovid and the, the zoom
experience became so importantthe podcast became so important
that people were looking attheir teeth now all the time.
(08:26):
They didn't have to wear maskswhen they were talking to their
colleagues from around the world, and when you're only looking
at your face on a small square,your smile really stands out,
and so people were noticing that, and so they were looking for
solutions to make it better, andthey were trying to do it as
inexpensively as possible.
You know, we people want itfast, they want it cheap and
(08:49):
they want it good, but youreally can't have all three of
those.
Something is going to have togive, and when you look at the
do it yourself, you may have itcheap, but it may be fast or it
may be good, you're just notsure.
But it can't be all three ofthose.
So I would caution people beforethey go out and spend $1,000 or
(09:11):
$2,000 or $2,500 on an onlineservice to really take the
opportunity to talk with you, atleast their dentist for sure
have a consultation with anorthodontist about what types of
things need to be done to makesure that everything is safe.
I mean, do it yourself,orthodontics.
You don't take a look at anyx-rays and there are bones that
(09:32):
hold the teeth in place.
There's gum tissue that isattached to those bones that
surrounds the roots of thoseteeth.
So if you're moving, teetharound and you find that all of
a sudden you've got a lot ofrecession, the gum tissues
retreating.
You're in trouble, right,because no one's following that
to take care of you.
So, general dentists as Imentioned before, I've seen some
(09:55):
amazing work by by localgeneral dentists when it comes
to orthodontics.
It's it's quite impressive.
Um, the main difference betweenthe general dentist and the
orthodontist is the additionaluh skill set, the additional
time that we have being trained,and it's it's what we do all
day long.
(10:19):
If you want to have your heartlooked at, you can start with
your general practitioner.
They'll take a look at yourheart and see what's going on,
if you're having some sort ofarrhythmia or palpitation, but
in general, you'll go see thespecialist.
You'll go see the cardiologistto be able to take care of you,
because they've got thatadditional training plus the
years of experience of dealingspecifically with that.
So, day in and day out, whathappens in my practice and in
orthodontic practices is we'rejust dealing with correcting
(10:42):
misaligned teeth.
We're making sure that theupper and the lower jaws are in
the right spot and we'remonitoring our patients to make
sure that they're safe.
It's not something that's donewhere you're seeing 50 patients
a year, or 30 or 40 patients ayear I mean we're seeing,
fortunately, hundreds ofpatients a year to be able to
build that experience and tocurate an experience for those
(11:08):
patients that takes them from Ato B in a successful amount of
time those patients that takesthem from A to B in a successful
amount of time.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yeah, and I think there's at least some
misconception out there thatInvisalign is kind of
do-it-yourself, and that's notreally the case, is it?
Invisalign is monitored by you.
I know that you're the numberone Invisalign provider in
Dunwoody Congratulations.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Thank you.
Thank you, it's true.
There is that concept.
Invisalign brought to themarket a tremendous amount of
opportunity for adults.
They saw wow, I've got thesecrooked teeth.
And Invisalign's been aroundover 25 years, so they've got 10
million cases that are outthere in the world.
And that's a lot of data, a lotof data points for that company
(11:55):
.
But they marketed it quite welland it brought a lot of people
into the orthodontic office.
But it's not.
You just submit a scan toInvisalign and magically
everything happens.
I mean, we have entireconferences, dedicated books
about.
I mean, how do we straightenteeth with clear aligners?
It's a very different processthan using braces.
(12:16):
There are orthodontists whocan't stand aligners and there
are orthodontists who only usealigners.
So there's a broad spectrum outthere of what's best for the
person.
But remember, this is just likea diet Not everybody can eat
the same thing and have the sameamount of energy.
You have to find the rightmedicine, the right tool in
order to be able to get the jobdone.
But I think you bring up agreat point that there is that
(12:39):
illusion that Invisalign canjust do it behind the
orthodontist who is creatingthat treatment plan and then
ordering the aligners andmonitoring that patient to make
sure that the tissues thatsupport the teeth, as well as
the teeth themselves, are allhealthy during the process.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Yeah, because I mean, even if it is a less expensive
model, like you said, you can'tdo all three.
You're not going to be able todo cheap, fast and good and good
.
There you go.
Going to be able to do cheap,fast and good and good.
There you go.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Wait, you can do cheap and fast.
I'm going to argue this Right,but it's typically not going to
be good.
Not going to be good, yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
That was the third one.
That was definitely the kickerin that one.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah, I remember I had a painter come to the house
one time and we had thatdiscussion.
Like I need this done veryquickly and he goes I can do it
fast, but it's not going to begreat.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Right, and so you think about that and let me
reflect on that.
Yeah, yeah, like I want it done.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I want it done right.
It needs to take the time inorder for it to be right.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Absolutely Well, dr Kaplan.
As always, it has been anabsolute pleasure having you on.
I appreciate you sharing yourexpertise with me and with our
listeners and our readers andbeyond in Atlanta.
So thank you so much for beingon again.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
You're welcome.
It is always a pleasure to beable to share these thoughts,
because I know that there arelisteners out there who are it's
bouncing around in their headwhat should they do with their
teeth?
You know they want to have thatsmile and hopefully some of
this information gets them to aplace where they can have that
smile that they've alwaysdreamed of.

I mean, we have entireconferences, dedicated books
about.
I mean, how do we straightenteeth with clear aligners?
It's a very different processthan using braces.
(12:16):
There are orthodontists whocan't stand aligners and there
are orthodontists who only usealigners.
So there's a broad spectrum outthere of what's best for the
person.
But remember, this is just likea diet Not everybody can eat
the same thing and have the sameamount of energy.
You have to find the rightmedicine, the right tool in
order to be able to get the jobdone.
But I think you bring up agreat point that there is that
(12:39):
illusion that Invisalign canjust do it behind the
orthodontist who is creatingthat treatment plan and then
ordering the aligners andmonitoring that patient to make
sure that the tissues thatsupport the teeth, as well as
the teeth themselves, are allhealthy during the process.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Yeah, because I mean, even if it is a less expensive
model, like you said, you can'tdo all three.
You're not going to be able todo cheap, fast and good and good
.
There you go.
Going to be able to do cheap,fast and good and good.
There you go.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Wait, you can do cheap and fast.
I'm going to argue this Right,but it's typically not going to
be good.
Not going to be good, yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
That was the third one.
That was definitely the kickerin that one.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah, I remember I had a painter come to the house
one time and we had thatdiscussion.
Like I need this done veryquickly and he goes I can do it
fast, but it's not going to begreat.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Right, and so you think about that and let me
reflect on that.
Yeah, yeah, like I want it done.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I want it done right.
It needs to take the time inorder for it to be right.
Speaker 1 (13:43):

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
