During your initial visit, we will strive to provide you with the most information possible regarding your orthodontic needs. We do this by taking diagnostic digital photographs and through a comprehensive examination of your teeth and bite. With this information, we can provide you with a thorough explanation of potential treatment that might be needed as well as an approximate treatment fee. Our use of cutting edge technology helps us provide your orthodontic care with maximum efficiency and comfort.
Starting Treatment
With our lives being so busy, many patients wish to start treatment as quickly as possible. To accomplish this, we can combine the process of gathering all the remaining diagnostic information, including models and radiographs, with the first visit. At the next visit, a discussion is held to finalize all treatment details and the treatment fee. Once all issues have been reviewed and agreed upon, treatment can begin immediately.
In some instances, it is preferred to divide this process into individual visits. This allows either the doctor additional time for consultation with the patient's dentist or for the patient to review their treatment options. Regardless of the number of visits prior to beginning treatment, we are most concerned with satisfying your original reason for seeking treatment. Your input into the various treatment options is very important to us.
