Your First Visit
At your first visit, we will help you get acquainted with our office and learn about your orthodontic needs. Your appointment is scheduled for one hour to give us adequate time to answer questions. However, we will gladly arrange a follow-up appointment should you require additional information. Your time is important to us, thus we will provide you with all the necessary information that day. To help us completely determine your orthodontic needs, digital photographs and digital X-rays will be taken. We understand that each patient's treatment is different and we will give you the personal attention you deserve.
Our office utilizes the latest digital imaging technology to diagnose, treatment plan, and present your case. We will present your current orthodontic problems and thoroughly discuss all aspects of your treatment options in detail.
If treatment is indicated, we will discuss with you the steps necessary to begin treatment along with the cost of treatment, insurance coverage, and the available payment options. Our goal is to provide you the necessary information to help you and your family determine if treatment is right for you. Selecting an orthodontist is important, and we will not pressure you into treatment.
Following your consultation, we will provide you with your photos, a written summary of our findings and treatment recommendations, goals, and treatment fees. You will also be given information relating to orthodontic treatment and what to expect while in braces. This valuable, informative appointment is complimentary.
