First Visit
We look forward to meeting you on your first visit to our office. 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. The initial visit is estimated to take about 60-90 minutes long and if you are ready to start your orthodontic treatment, we can start preparing for the treatment the same day!
We will provide a clinical diagnosis with a written summary of the findings and a detailed plan that outlines your treatment goals. Our treatment coordinator will also go over the financial options with you as well.
At your first visit the doctor and treatment coordinator will address the following questions (We also encourage you to ask any additional questions):
- Is there a condition or concern that orthodontics can address?
- Is treatment needed now or should treatment wait until appropriate growth, tooth eruption or other factors have occurred?
- What treatment procedures will be used to correct the problem?
- How long will treatment take?
- How much will it cost?
To further assist us during the consultation appointment please remember to bring you insurance card along with any additional panoramic or cephalometric X-rays.
