Your First Visit
Prior to your visit, we will request that you fill out our new patient forms. We can either mail them to you, or you can download them from this site . This will save you the time of filling out the forms when you arrive at our office.
Dr. Howard will then perform an examination of your teeth and bite and give you a professional opinion of whether you or your child might benefit from orthodontic treatment and what type of therapy might be involved.
If the doctor believes the timing is appropriate, we would then obtain orthodontic records. This includes taking digital photographs of you so we can discuss your bite and treatment options, taking impressions for orthodontic study models, and obtaining two special X-rays to evaluate the underlying skeletal structures and the teeth.
A preliminary cost estimate can be obtained including information about how your dental insurance plan may contribute to helping with the cost of orthodontic care.
Before you leave, a consultation appointment will be made to review the records and the recommended treatment plan, including the time in braces or appliances and the finalized cost. Many options exist for monthly payment plans as well as Visa or MasterCard payments.
It's a fun office. We know you will be pleased with the friendly atmosphere and helpful staff. We look forward to meeting you!
