 We look forward to meeting you on your first visit to our office. Your first visit and subsequent recall appointments are always FREE OF CHARGE. During this time, we will help you get acquainted with our office and learn about your orthodontic treatment. We understand that each patient’s orthodontic treatment is different, and we promise to give you the personal attention you deserve. Your first orthodontic visit will consist of an examination and discussion of potential treatment options. This important visit will address your orthodontic needs to determine if this is the proper time to begin treatment. You will also be given an estimated length of treatment and all financial concerns may be addressed at this appointment.
If treatment is indicated, orthodontic records will need to be taken to allow for a proper diagnosis and formulation of a customized treatment plan . Orthodontic records typically include intraoral and extraoral photographs, study models and skeletal X-rays. The records fee will usually depend on the extent of records taken. These records can be taken at your first visit, if convenient, or scheduled at a future date.
After we have evaluated your records, we conduct a treatment consultation to explain all aspects of your treatment in detail. We will provide a complete clinical diagnosis regarding the nature of the problem and a detailed plan that outlines your treatment and estimated fees. We encourage questions from both the patient and the parent, and as such, we provide ample time to answer your questions. We also request that all responsible parties attend the consult appointment for our adolescent patients.
