Practice
Info
Your first visit will give you the opportunity to
discuss your concerns and problems with the Orthodontist.
It will consist of a preliminary evaluation and a
discussion regarding treatment, if it is necessary.
Diagnostic records (x-rays, photos, impressions etc)
may also be taken to determine the complexity of the
problem. These also help the orthodontist to draw
up a treatment plan for you. Read
