What To Expect
First Visit
On your first visit the orthodontist examines your teeth to make a provisional diagnosis
as to whether or not you will need a brace.
Models of your teeth and X-rays may be taken.
Following examination the orthodontist will decide one of the following:
- You are ready for treatment
- No treatment is necessary
- You are not quite ready for treatment
If treatment is needed the orthodontist will discuss your options and give you information
to take away.
NO treatment will be carried out on your first visit.
Not ready for
treatment
If you are not ready for treatment you will be given a card and asked to contact
us in six, nine or twelve months time.
Ready for treatment
An appointment will be made for you to return to have your brace fitted.
If you need any teeth out as part of your treatment we will ask your dentist to
do this one month before a brace is fitted.
