PATIENTS
NEED TO KNOW INFORMATION
Initial Examination
We offer an initial consultation at no charge to you. At this consultation, a thorough orthodontic exam will be performed by one of our board certified orthodontists. We will discuss the details of your orthodontic treatment plan and will let you know approximately how long your treatment will take. We will also answer any questions and concerns you might have. One of our treatment coordinators will help you understand your insurance benefits as well as financial options and make sure you have the answers to all your questions before you leave. You can plan on spending 45 minutes to 1 hour with us for this initial consultation appointment.
Records
(all digital records, computer analyzed, growth prediction)
In order to conduct a thorough analysis on each case and design individualized treatment plan for each patient, we need to take various kinds of dental records, including panoramic x-ray, cephalometric x-ray, intra- and extra- oral pictures, dental casts, etc.. All these records will be digitized and analyzed using the most advanced computer programs. Through the use of these data, your facial look after treatment can be predicted.
Consultation
We will arrange a consultation appointment with patient and parents to have an extensive discussion based on examination data analyzed by computer and always seek to obtain the best results.
Orthodontic treatment needs time and patience, and for cases, patients have to undergo surgery, please feel free to discuss with us when you have any question about your treatment.
