Orthodontic TreatmentNew patient
Your first visit will be a consultation with Dr J which will include a clinical examination, x-rays, photos and a digital scan of your teeth. This will enable Dr J to make a full diagnosis and formulate a treatment plan.
For very young patients (5 – 7 years old), a clinical examination and scan is usually adequate, but most patients will require a full set of records when any tooth movement is planned. This is because the orthodontist needs to record the dentition in its current state for treatment planning, be aware of the underlying condition of the roots of the teeth and the condition of the bone, make sure there is no pathology present, and full records will enable him to do a cost estimate and estimate the duration of treatment.
Should a patient only require retention (no tooth movement), full records need not be taken.
After record taking and consultation will Dr J discuss his findings with you.
You do not need to be referred by your dentist to see an orthodontist, and you may contact our office directly to schedule an appointment.
