Your First Visit

We are always excited about meeting new patients and their families. Your initial appointment will consist of a general examination and a discussion of potential treatment options. This important 45 minute visit will give us insight into your orthodontic needs. To expedite treatment, we may also reserve time following the exam for diagnostic records. These records include x-rays, photographs and impressions for study models that are necessary for developing an appropriate treatment plan.

During the initial examination we will address the following questions which cover the basics of orthodontic treatment. We encourage you to ask questions as well.

Is there concern that orthodontics can address?
When is the best time to initiate treatment?
What treatment procedures will be used to correct the problem?
Will the removal of any teeth be necessary?
How long will treatment take?
How much will it cost?
What are my payment options?
How will my insurance coverage affect payment options?

While we can often answer these general questions about treatment during the initial examination, we will be able to address more specific areas of treatment after careful analysis of diagnostic records. We feel it is important to analyze each patient's specific needs because in depth planning leads to superior results and higher patient satisfaction.
