Your initial consultation is one of the most important appointments you will have at our office. We will evaluate many things relating to your face, your smile, the fit of your teeth, and the amount of room for all of your teeth. From this initial visit, if you are ready for treatment, an appointment for diagnostic records is made. If you are not yet ready for treatment, we may recommend that you be placed into an observation phase where we will follow growth and development to determine the appropriate time for treatment.
When you arrive at our Kenilworth office, you will be greeted by one of our staff members and a complimentary, no obligation orthodontic exam will be done. This thorough exam helps Dr. McClellan determine what type of treatment would benefit you most. He will provide a complete clinical diagnosis, a written summary of his findings and a detailed plan that outlines your treatment, goals, and estimated fees.
Following your exam, Dr. McClellan may recommend treatment. If treatment is needed, this could start right away, or he may suggest that you return for periodic checkups. The timing of orthodontic treatment will depend on the developmental stage of the teeth and jaws along with the severity of the problem.
Whether you will be beginning treatment now or later, this first orthodontic visit is the best time to ask any questions you have about the orthodontic process. Our treatment coordinator will go over the treatment choices available to you and help you understand what to expect during the various stages of your orthodontic care.
You only get one smile! Trust it to a qualified orthodontic expert like Dr. McClellan. If you haven’t already scheduled an initial consultation with us, call our office today and take the first step towards the smile you have always wanted!
