THE FREE CONSULTATION During your child's consultation appointment, our board certified orthodontist will perform an evaluation. We will take x rays and pictures to look for any orthodontic problems ie. underbite, crowding, jaw misalignment, etc.. that can be treated with braces. If braces are needed the orthodontist and treatment coordinator will come up with a treatment plan during the consultation.
Before you and your child leave, our treatment coordinator will discuss financing options and/ or determine insurance coverage. Medicaid can cover 100% of the cost treatment for children if deemed medically necessary.
THE FIRST APPOINTMENT (BANDING) This first appointment typically takes about an hour and half. Our staff will put braces on your child and cover proper hygiene care with them. Traditional braces consist of stainless steel brackets that attach to the teeth with special cement.
REGULAR APPOINTMENTS FOR ADJUSTMENTS Our orthodontist will want to see your child every 4 to 8 weeks to check on the progress and make adjustments.
FINAL APPOINTMENT (DEBANDING) Orthodontic treatment typically lasts between 12 to 36 months. Every case is different. When it is time for braces to come off, your child will get a set of retainers to ensure the results last. Our retainers are included in our price. No extra charge. We also offer teeth whitening after debanding.
