Complimentary Consultation

At your first visit to our office, Dr. Martin will perform an oral examination to assess your orthodontic needs.  We will discuss the orthodontic problems, make recommendations and discuss the next steps to pursuing orthodontic treatment with you.

Records

If treatment is indicated at this time, orthodontic or diagnostic records will be gathered.  Complete diagnostic records typically include a medical/dental history, clinical examination, plaster study models of the teeth taken at our office, and photos of the patient’s face and teeth, and x-rays taken at a dental x-ray lab. 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.  If no treatment is indicated at this time for your child, he or she will be put on recall until it is the optimum time for treatment.

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 appointment when you get your appliances (braces, expander, etc.) will vary in length depending upon the type of appliances being placed.  It usually will last from one to two hours.  This will be discussed with you at the consultation.  You’ll then see us at regular intervals of four to eight weeks for shorter adjustments.  In an effort to be fair to all our patients, long appointments are scheduled early in the day, and short appointments are scheduled throughout the day.  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.

Payment & Office Policies

Cost

The cost of treatment depends on the severity of the patient's problem and treatment time. You will be able to discuss fees and payment options before treatment begins. We have several payment plans to suit different budgets. We work hard to make orthodontics affordable.

Fees

In an effort to keep orthodontic fees down while maintaining the highest level of professional care, we have established this financial policy:

  • If full payment is made at the onset of treatment, we will offer a fee discount.
  • To fit your individual needs, financial arrangements can be made to extend your payments over a period of months.
  • For your convenience, we accept payment by Visa, Mastercard and Discover Card.
