At what age should I schedule an appointment for a screening?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic screening at age 7. Several permanent teeth in most children have erupted by this age, effectively allowing us to evaluate your child’s orthodontic status.
Does my dentist need to refer me to an orthodontist?
No, it is not necessary. Many of our patients are referred by their dentist, but many other patients take the initiative to schedule their own consultation and exam appointment.
What will I learn from the initial consultation?
We are typically able to answer the following questions for you during your first visit:
- Is there an orthodontic problem, and if so, what is it?
- What must be done to correct the problem?
- Will any teeth need to be removed?
- How long will the treatment take to complete?
- What will the fee be and what does it cover?
Can I drop my child off for an appointment?
Of course. We appreciate your busy schedule and are happy you make the most of your time. In order to keep you informed about your child’s treatment progress, however, occasionally, we’d like a quick moment of your time for updates following appointments.
