At your first visit to our office, we like to make sure we explain everything, such as treatment options, cost, insurance coverage, and payment plan options available. It is very important to us that we educate you on all aspects of your care so you can be a part of the process.
Evaluation
During your first visit, you will meet with Dr. Wood, and he will examine your teeth to see if Orthodontics is the right thing for you and your teeth. He will discuss with you certain questions, such as:
- Does the treatment need immediate attention, or can you delay it to a later time?
- What specific procedure can treat your circumstance?
- How long will your treatment last?
- Do you need to remove any teeth?
- Do you need to hold space for new teeth to come in?
Depending on Dr. Wood’s evaluation and if he believes that treatment can wait, another time to come see us will be arranged. If he believes the treatment can start, he will request to acquire complementary diagnostic records. These records will help Dr. Wood in creating a detailed treatment plan from start to finish. Complementary diagnostic records usually consist of:
- 3D X-ray
- Photographs of your face and teeth
- In some cases, molds of your teeth will be taken
Here at our office, we make it our top priority to communicate and educate you on your treatment plan. We like to make sure that you are a part of your plan every step of the way and feel comfortable asking any questions! Wood Orthodontics is a fun and high-energy office that will leave you feeling happy and a little closer to your smile!
