Office Hours
We are open to serve you, answer questions or schedule an appointment during the following hours:
Monday: 11 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Tuesday – Thursday: 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Your First Visit
At the first visit to the orthodontist, diagnostic records are made with your consent to determine the best course of treatment. Complete diagnostic records typically include a medical/dental history, clinical examination, plaster study models of the teeth, photos of the patient's face and teeth and X-rays. This information is used to develop a custom treatment plan for each patient. These records are also helpful in tracking the progress of treatment as the teeth move under orthodontic care.
Consultation
After the doctor has evaluated your records, we discuss your treatment with you in detail, including the cost for your particular case.
Regular Appointments
The braces placement appointment (braces, expanders, etc.) usually takes one hour. You'll then see us at regular intervals 4 to 8 weeks apart for an adjustment appointment which takes 20 to 40 minutes. Patients are seen by appointment only. We make every effort to be on time for our patients, and ask that you extend the same courtesy to us. If you cannot keep an appointment, please notify us immediately. Cancel only if it is an emergency. It is difficult to reschedule you since most appointments are made 4 to 8 weeks in advance.
