Your first orthodontic visit is a complimentary consultation where you'll get to meet Dr. C.J. and his team and get a tour of the office. It's important to us that you feel comfortable with our team and office. At Park Circle Ortho, orthodontic treatment involves a relationship built on feelings of trust, understanding, and comfort.
After introductions, Dr. C.J. will evaluate your teeth, jaws, and smile both clinically and radiographically (i.e. x-rays). Equally importantly, he will also evaluate the way your teeth bite together. Most importantly, he will evaluate any issues that you the patient or parent feel are your main concern(s). Using information from the exam, he will create an appropriate and personalized treatment plan just for you. That plan may involve a strategic observation period of growth and tooth eruption, or a detailed plan for full orthodontic treatment. If more information or time is needed to examine the complexity of the concerns or problems, he will let you know while sharing as much information as possible at that time.
You will learn about the timing and length of treatment that best suits you or your child. In addition, you will learn if any additional treatment is recommended, such as an expander, tooth extractions, tooth buildups, or other adjunctive dental or surgical procedures. If there are multiple treatment plans that are appropriate for you or your child's specific case, you will learn about all of those options and their respective advantages or disadvantages. We will also explain all of the pros and cons of different "styles" of braces (Invisalign or metal braces). After understanding this, you and Dr. C.J. will decide together the treatment plan and style of braces that are best to achieve your desired results.
As always, we want you to feel comfortable, so we encourage all patients and parents to ask questions and express concerns. Our office staff will verify insurance and discuss finances to find a payment plan that best suits you and your family. We want you to have a full understanding of orthodontic treatment and how we can make your smile the best it can be!
If time allows and you are ready to commit to orthodontic treatment that day, Dr. C.J. and his team might be able to start treatment immediately. That may involve:
Digital scan of your teeth to:
Start the process of designing your aligners (e.g., Invisalign, Spark, etc.)
Help plan more involved or complex treatment types
Bonding some or all brackets to teeth
Placing spacers between some teeth to make room for future appliances
Regardless of whether you're itching to start treatment ASAP, or simply just need to know if you or your child is ready for treatment, call us to schedule an appointment!
We're so excited to meet you!
