Your First Visit
Complimentary ExaminationAt your first visit to our office, a digital panorex x-ray and a complete orthodontic examination are provided at no cost to the patient in order to determine the need and timing of treatment. If the patient is ready to undergo orthodontic treatment, the next step in the process is to obtain a complete set of diagnostic records. Diagnostic Records Diagnostic records typically include plaster study models of the teeth, photos of the patient’s face and teeth, and digital X-rays. This information is used to develop a custom treatment plan for each patient. These records are also helpful in tracking the progress of treatment as the teeth move under orthodontic care. The patients can view all of their photos and digital x-rays, throughout treatment, from home by logging on to their personal accounts on the website. Consultation Appointment After the doctor has evaluated your records, Dr. Bruce or Dr. Gabe will discuss your treatment options with you in detail, including the diagnosis, treatment, cost for your particular case, and general information regarding orthodontic treatment. |
