Your First Visit

YOUR INITIAL CONSULTATION

We are always excited about meeting new patients during their first visit to our office. We will perform a complete examination of your smile and bite alignment. We will also answer any questions you may have and talk to you about your treatment options.

DURING YOUR INITIAL CONSULTATION, WE WILL:

• Review your dental and medical history
• Provide a complete oral exam, including X-rays
• Work with you to create a customized treatment plan
• Discuss all financial information, insurance options, and payment plans
• Address any concerns or expectations you have with the orthodontist

Explanations and question period

Once the diagnosis is established, the best options are explained and discussed. These recommendations help to prevent problems, to intercept problems or to correct conditions already present.

The orthodontist will take time to answer your questions. The question period is important to understand:

• The treatment options
• The choice of the type of braces or appliances
• How long the treatment will take
• How much the treatment will cost and the payment plan we offer
• The reasons for not recommending treatment
• The reasons why treatment needs to be delayed

We give you an estimate of the treatment costs. A report of your visit, along with a copy of your radiograph will be forwarded to your family dentist.
