First Second Regular Appointments
First Visit
We look forward to meeting you during your first visit. The objective of this appointment is for you to get to know us and learn how you may benefit from orthodontic treatment. After answering any general questions or concerns you may have about orthodontics, Dr. Ely will review the health history and perform an examination of the face and oral structures. If treatment is indicated, a diagnostic records appointment, which includes impressions of the teeth, digital x-rays, and photographs, will be scheduled.
Consultation
At the consultation, the specifics of the diagnosis and treatment plan will be discussed and informed consent will be given. After answering any questions or concerns, treatment will begin by either placing braces or fitting for the prescribed appliance(s). A thorough explanation of how to care for the braces and/or appliances will be given.
Regular Visits
Once the initial visits are completed, follow-up visits are usually scheduled at 4 to 8 week intervals. These visits are generally 15- 40 minutes in length. We pride ourselves not only on the level of care we provide, but also on being prompt and respecting your schedule.
