First
Visit
We are always excited about meeting new patients during
their first visit to our office. Your initial appointment
will consist of a thorough examination and a discussion
of potential treatment options. This important hour long
visit will give us insights into your orthodontic needs.
During the initial examination for each patient, we will
address the following questions that cover the basics
of orthodontic treatment. We encourage you to ask questions
as well.
- Is there a condition that orthodontics can address?
- Is treatment needed now, or should treatment be
delayed until appropriate growth, tooth eruption,
or other factors have occurred?
- What treatment procedures will be used to correct
the problem?
- Do any permanent teeth need to be removed?
- How long will treatment take?
- How much will it cost?
- What are my payment options?
At the initial examination we will discuss the treatment option, time frames and financial arrangements. We would like our patients to leave with a clear understanding at their specific needs, what the treatment will consist of and how long it will take.
Please assist us by providing the following information
at the time of your first visit:
- Any panoramic x-ray taken within the past 6 months.
- If you have orthodontic insurance, bring your insurance
card. By providing this information at the first visit
we will be able to give you an estimate of your costs.
