Your First Orthodontic Visit at Modern Orthodontics
We are always excited about meeting new patients during their first orthodontic visit to our office. When you arrive, we will ask you to fill out our new patient forms, or you can print the forms from our site and fill them out beforehand. Your initial appointment will consist of a thorough examination and a discussion of potential orthodontic treatment options. This important 45-minute visit will give us insight into your orthodontic needs. The initial evaluation is always FREE of charge. We will also take a complimentary panoramic and cephalometric X-ray to allow for a thorough diagnosis.
During the initial examination for each patient, we will address the following questions that cover the basics of orthodontic treatment. We encourage you to ask questions as well.
We will then schedule a consultation visit to discuss treatment options, time frames and financial arrangements. We insist that our patients leave the office with a clear understanding of their specific needs, what the treatment will consist of and how long it will take.
