Here’s What Will Happen at the Exam
During your initial exam at Charles River Orthodontics, we will conduct a thorough evaluation of your mouth to assess the alignment of your teeth and jaws. This helps us determine if any issues need to be addressed and if orthodontic treatment is necessary. We recommend that children have their first evaluation by age 7, as early assessment allows us to monitor dental development and potentially prevent more extensive treatment down the road. However, patients of all ages can benefit from this exam, as it provides valuable insights into how orthodontics can improve your smile and oral health.
In addition to the exam, we may take diagnostic X-rays, photos, or impressions to get a clearer picture of your oral health. These tools help us evaluate the development of your teeth, the condition of your jaw, and other factors that influence your treatment options. With this comprehensive information, we will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that’s right for your unique needs.
TREATMENT OPTIONS
We will discuss whether orthodontic treatment is needed and if so, whether it should begin right away or be delayed based on the current stage of your dental development. We will review all available treatment options and take the time to ensure you fully understand each one before making any decisions.
This is also a great time to ask any questions you may have to feel confident about your orthodontic care. Here are a few common questions you might want to consider during your first visit:
- When is the best time to start treatment?
- What procedures might be involved?
- Will any tooth extractions be necessary?
- How long will the treatment take?
- What will the cost be, and what payment options are available?
- What office policies should I be aware of during my treatment?
Our goal is to provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision and feel comfortable moving forward with your treatment plan
