Why Choose an Orthodontist?
Teeth, and sometimes entire facial structures, are permanently changed by orthodontic treatment. It is important that the treatment be appropriate and properly completed. Orthodontic specialists have extensive and specialized training that enables them to provide their patients with professional, personalized treatments.
Your 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, a panoramic X-ray 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. If it is not time to start treatment, the doctor and our treatment plan coordinator will explain all aspects of your treatment in detail.
The following appointment will be to take a complete set of orthodontic records, which include an additional X-ray called a lateral cephalograph, molds of your teeth and intra- and extra-oral photographs. These records will be evaluated by the orthodontist before putting your braces on. After obtaining the records, an appointment can be made to put the braces on.
