What To Expect At Your Orthodontic Consultation

Upon entering the office, you’ll be greeted by our wonderful reception staff and meet with your Treatment Coordinator. Your Treatment Coordinator will take some time to give you an in-depth introduction and overview of the treatment process, answering any preliminary questions you may have and getting to know you, your expectations, and your motivations for starting orthodontic treatment.

Choosing An Orthodontic Treatment

We truly want to do everything we can to help you make a well-informed decision on your orthodontic treatment, so we’ll take extra time during your first appointment to fully explain your current orthodontic situation and the treatment options available to you. We’ll go over all of the potential treatments that may work for you, including Damon System Braces, clear braces, your clear aligner options, and any supplementary treatments we feel may be necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What options will work for my teeth?

At your initial examination, Dr. Damon may recommend braces (clear or metal) or clear aligners based on your dental needs.

How Long Will I Wear Braces or Aligners?

Ask the doctors if you want a time frame. We have provided adult treatment anywhere from 3 months to 24 months, however most not exceeding 18 months.

How do I take care of my teeth while my braces are on?

Brush your teeth by using a regular soft toothbrush. Brush down from the top and then up from the bottom on each tooth; always brushing away from your gums. Use a gentle sawing motion to work the floss on each side of the two teeth the floss is between. Be careful not to pull with too much force around the archwire.

How often will I need to come in for an office visit?

The Damon System uses memory shape, heat activated wires that work without needing painful adjustments, decreasing the amount of office visits necessary to complete treatment. With Damon braces, the average time between visits can range from 8-10 weeks. As you come close to finishing treatment, Dr. Damon may want to see you more often, typically between 4-6 weeks during your last few months, to fine tune your final tooth movements.

What will happen at the initial examination appointment?

Upon arriving, each patient and parent will be seen by the staff and doctor who will acclimate you to our office and prepare for the initial exam. We will take the necessary photographs and X-rays to allow us to make a proper diagnosis. The doctor will then complete a thorough examination for you or your child.

Does your office offer payment plans?

The investment of your treatment will vary depending on your specific dental requirements. Once we complete a new patient exam and create a treatment plan for you, you will meet with a treatment coordinator to discuss the costs and payment plans available to you. We will work with you to create a payment plan that is tailored to your needs and budget.
