Initial Consultation
First visit
Consultation visits can be scheduled at your convenience, however walk-ins are welcomed. During your initial visit, a thorough facial and dental examination is undertaken to determine whether treatment is indicated. These findings will be related to you in detail (in our office we use computerized imaging to help give you a visual simulation of the preferred outcome). Your orthodontist will be happy to answer any questions you may have, so that you feel completely at ease.
Records Appointment
Taking Orthodontic Records
Orthodontic records, consisting of photos, x-rays and study models, are necessary to do a proper diagnosis and treatment plan for your braces. In most cases, these records can be taken immediately following the consultation visit. Once your treatment has started, you will usually be visiting the orthodontist every 2 to 6 weeks for adjustments depending on the appliance and technique used. Successful treatment requires co-operation between all of us. Remember, the effort you put in now pays off in the final result...
