This appointment begins with us getting to know you better.
We have each patient complete a Patient Registration Form so that we will know who you are and a bit about
you - including a brief Medical History.
Our Treatment Coordinator will then give you a tour of our office
with introductions to the staff and Dr. Clarke. During the Initial
Exam appointment, you will have the opportunity to discuss any
specific concerns you may have. As well, Dr. Clarke will perform
a visual examination and have a preliminary discussion with
you regarding possible treatment options.
You will also be told the approximate cost of treatment. If
you are not ready for treatment at that time, you will be put
on an Observation schedule and Dr. Clarke will examine you again
every 6 to 12 months and monitor your development until such
time as treatment is necessary.
The next step toward Treatment will involve the making of Orthodontic
Records. A definitive Treatment Plan will be discussed during
the Case Presentation appointment.
