We are always excited about meeting new patients and sharing our commitment to orthodontic excellence with you and your family! At your complimentary initial evaluation you will meet with Dr. White and our treatment coordinator, Sara. We will begin your initial appointment by taking photographs of your teeth, and by taking a digital panoramic X-ray to examine all of your teeth and supporting structures. After a discussion of your concerns, Dr. White will conduct a thorough examination evaluating facial balance, tooth position and bite characteristics. Following Dr. White’s evaluation we will discuss:
- The orthodontic/dental problems present.
- The appropriate time to begin orthodontic treatment.
- Procedures to be used during orthodontic treatment (Braces, Invisalign, Retainers, etc.)
- If any special appliances (Expander, Herbst, Headgear, etc.) are needed.
- If there is any adjunctive dental procedures that will need to be completed
- How long orthodontic treatment will take.
- A discussion of your specific insurance company’s orthodontic benefits.
- Payment options available.
Recognizing that everyone has individual needs, we welcome your questions and will give careful attention to any specific questions or concerns you or your child may have. We look forward to meeting with you and your family!
