Your First Orthodontic Visit
The First Step
The Second Step
The second step is your FREE ORTHODONTIC CONSULTATION. When you arrive for your consultation, Dr. Allison Scott examines your face, teeth, jaw joint and the relationship of your lower jaw and teeth to your upper jaw and teeth to determine if immediate treatment is required. If no treatment is required then regular yearly visits with the dentist will be recommended. If there is a need for orthodontic treatment then it will be discussed and explained in detail and we move on to step three.
Sometimes, very young patients, beginning with age seven, need immediate orthodontic treatment. Dr. Scott can recognize early dental and facial growth irregularities. Early Phase One orthodontic treatment from age seven to nine can guide your child’s growth and development, which may prevent the need for extraction of adult teeth. If Phase One treatment is not needed, we’ll place your child in our RECALL SYSTEM, a FREE SERVICE we provide as a courtesy to you, so we can monitor his or her growth and development in order to minimize future problems.
