How do I get started?
Just call and schedule an appointment at your most convenient location. The initial visits average approximately 30 minutes each. During your first visit, we will perform an oral exam and discuss our findings regarding your, or your child's, orthodontic needs.

If treatment is necessary, we will recommend and, with your consent, take the appropriate records to prepare a complete diagnosis. A follow-up appointment will be scheduled to discuss the results of our study and answer your specific questions.

If your child is not not ready for treatment, we will place him/her on "recall." This means we monitor the patient at six to twelve month intervals. When the most opportune time for treatment arrives, we will inform you and recommend records be taken for consultation as noted above.


Are there any forms I need to complete for the care?
You will receive a patient history form in your introductory packet. This should be completed with the patient's information and returned to our office the day of the first appointment.


If I have an exam, do I have to start treatment?
No - the orthodontic exam, records and consultation are done to provide the patient and parents with enough information to make an educated decision. If a patient chooses not to start treatment, the only fee charged is $95 or $145 if records are taken.
