Your First Visit
The first time you visit our office you will be welcomed by our friendly reception staff and following this, we will obtain the necessary digital photographs and radiographs to assist with your future treatment planning and discussion. For some patients their consultation appointment is straight after the records have been taken. For the majority of our patients, the consultation appointment is usually scheduled a week or two later. At the second visit or consultation appointment a thorough orthodontic examination will be completed, and a diagnosis will be given to you. You will have the opportunity to ask any questions during this consultation and discussion phase. If you have any earlier radiographs or models that you think will be of value please hand these to the reception on arrival. Please note that both visits are approximately 30 minutes in duration.
At the conclusion of your examination, our doctors will discuss their recommendations for treatment. Factors such as treatment duration and the best time to start will be reviewed. Our doctors believe in starting treatment only at the "right time," according to everyone's individual needs.
While some patients are ready for braces right away, others are not, and may be placed on a recall schedule so that they may be monitored until it is exactly the perfect time to start. For those patients who are ready and eager to start treatment right away, we can proceed immediately following the consultation.
