What will happen on the first visit to your office?
During this initial visit, a panoramic x-ray will be taken to help with my preliminary orthodontic examination. This examination includes an analysis of the patient's facial and skeletal type and an assessment of facial growth. I will also look at the alignment of the teeth, the health of the soft tissue, and the function of the jaw joints and adjacent bone structures.
Depending on the patient's age and my evaluation of their orthodontic needs, I may not recommend immediate treatment. Instead, if they are not dentally ready for treatment I may simply recommend to check them periodically while the permanent teeth erupt and their jaws and face continue to grow.
However, if I see the need for a more comprehensive evaluation or if treatment is clearly indicated, I'll recommend that orthodontic records completed. My treatment coordinator will then discuss treatment time, treatment fees, and available payment options with you.
What are orthodontic records?
Orthodontic records are a set of diagnostic tools that enable me to evaluate existing and potential orthodontic problems and determine the best options for treatment. These records include photographs of the teeth, gums, and face; plaster models of the teeth; and a profile x-ray to measure the face. The panoramic x-ray from the initial consultation is also utilized. We complete orthodontic records appointments for all of our patients in our Fort Collins, Windsor and Cheyenne office. The appointment takes 30-40 minutes.
