Your First Visit

Your First Visit

At your first appointment, after obtaining a dental and medical history, a thorough and complete orthodontic examination will be performed. This will include an analysis of facial and skeletal type, assessment of facial growth, and an examination of the bite, alignment of the teeth, health of the soft tissues, and function of the jaw and adjacent supporting structures.  The timing, duration, mode of indicated treatment, and a fee estimate will be discussed.  We will also address your questions and concerns about orthodontics.  If treatment is necessary, an appointment will be made to obtain diagnostic records.  There is no charge for this first appointment to our office.

Diagnostic Records

Diagnostic records usually include x-rays, photographs of the teeth and face, and models of the teeth. Orthodontic records allow documentation and a more thorough evaluation of each patient's status enabling us to develop an appropriate and individualized treatment plan.

Treatment Conference Consultation

After a thorough and complete diagnosis, a detailed course of treatment will be outlined for you in a treatment conference. This careful analysis allows us to provide you with a thorough understanding of the goals of treatment, patient responsibilities, and what to expect from the office.

Regular Appointments

We share your concern about missing school or work and schedule appointments so that each patient receives convenient appointments whenever possible. We are happy to provide school accepted excuses for appointments during school hours.  At the start of your treatment, appliance placement may take from 30 minutes to two hours. With today's advanced technology and materials, you then see us at intervals ranging from 4 to 8 weeks, for approximately 15 to 45 minutes.

Our office hours in both locations are weekdays from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Payment & Office Policies
Cost

The cost of treatment depends on the severity of the patient's problem. You will be able to discuss fees and payment options before treatment begins. We have payment plans to suit different budgets, including in-house no interest financing and third party financing that requires no down payment. We also accept assignment from most insurance plans, and file the necessary papers to the insurance company. We work hard to make orthodontics affordable.

Finances & Insurance

Our goal is to make orthodontic treatment more convenient and affordable for everyone. We understand that each individual has different budgetary needs, and we will work with you to formulate a payment plan that fits your budget.

Insurance

We work with a wide range of dental insurance plans and are eager to help you receive the maximum benefit from your plan. Our method of working with your insurance and accepting assignment of your benefit reduces your "out-of-pocket" expense. Our experienced business staff is well versed with insurance plans and will assist in determining your benefits before beginning treatment, and is available for questions and concerns that may arise.

Please remember that most plans pay only a portion of your fee. You are, of course, responsible for any amount not covered by the plan.
