Complimentary Initial Consultation: We are always excited about meeting our new patients.   Our objective is to make your visits with us pleasant and informative. During your first visit, our Treatment Coordinator will take preliminary records, which may include a radiograph (x-ray) and digital photos. These records along with a thorough examination allow Dr. Johnson to assess need, and develop the best course of treatment.  Upon completion of a thorough examination, Dr. Johnson will be able to answer the following questions:

Is orthodontic treatment indicated?

Are you a candidate for Invisalign or Invisalign Teen?

When is the correct time to begin treatment?

What treatment options are available?

How long will treatment last? and How much will treatment cost?
 

If treatment is indicated at this time, Dr. Johnson and our Treatment Coordinator will discuss potential treatment options and answer your specific questions.  You can be sure Dr. Johnson will take the time to answer all of your questions so you fully understand.

Initial Records and Initial Banding Appointments:  During your first official visit, initial records which include plaster study models of the teeth, photos of the patient’s face and teeth, a cephalometric radiograph, and a wax bite will be taken. All of these provide us with a record of the “before”. These records are also helpful in tracking the progress of treatment as the teeth move under orthodontic care. After the assistant takes your records, the bonding (put on braces) will take place.  At this time, appliances (braces, expanders, etc.) will be placed into your mouth according to your personal treatment plan.  This appointment normally takes about 2 hours.  You will also be given instructions on how to take care of your new braces and/or appliances. 

Regular Appointments:  Following your bonding appointment, you will see us at regular intervals for adjustments. These appointments usually take 15-40 minutes and are about 6-12 weeks apart. Patients are seen by appointment only. Dr. Johnson will evaluate your progress and then work with other team members to deliver his prescribed treatment for you. We make every effort to be on time for our patients, and ask that you extend the same courtesy to us. If you cannot keep an appointment, please notify us as soon as you can. Cancel only if it is an emergency. Please note that it may be difficult to reschedule you since most appointments are made 6-8 weeks in advance.
