SmileOdontics – “a great smile is a good investment”

That’s right – our office is celebrating the month of October with all kinds of “treats!”  Call our office to schedule your FREE Consultation and learn what exciting things orthodontics can do for you…

Just in case you are wondering – orthodontics is different for every patient!  The American Association of Orthodontics recommends children as young as 7 years old have an evaluation.  The benefit of early treatment can be seen in children who have habits such as thumb or finger sucking.  We’ll be glad to outline a treatment plan just for you and answer any questions you might have.

Our office abides by all governing rules and regulations and respectfully request that our patients abide by our policies with regard to their treatment and our office.

HIPPA requirements are enforced with regard to patient, treatment and our facility.  While maintaining a paperless environment – our computer system and patient information is secure and confidential.  Please do not openly discuss any items that you would feel uncomfortable with others being aware of the discussion. We are only able to discuss the treatment and associated cost with the responsible party of the patient account.

Our office is an “open bay” treatment facility with limited seating in the treatment area – we kindly ask that parents, siblings and patients waiting for their appointment remain in the reception area.  We offer Wi-Fi service FREE to those who may be inclined to make productive use of their waiting – and of course, video game systems for the young at heart.

Complete diagnostic records can be taken at the same time as your consultation if you would like or at a separate, second visit. Records include making a plaster study model of the teeth, taking photos of the patients face and teeth, and panoramic / cephalometric x-rays. After the doctor has evaluated your records, we discuss your specific treatment with you in detail, including the cost for your particular case.

Typically, once the Records have been taken and your decision to move forward with treatment is made, we will schedule a Banding Appointment. Depending on the type of treatment (single arch, limited or full treatment with both arches) – the length of your banding appointment will vary from 45 minutes to 1-1/2 hours.  This appointment is when the brackets are placed on the teeth and while no invasive steps are necessary, patient’s may be tender after their appointment.  EVERYONE is different though, some patients experience only minor soreness and can eat a normal diet; others experience more tenderness and may want to only eat soft foods.  Your mouth will adjust and in just a matter of time the braces will be a part of your “normal” routine.
