On Your First Visit Christine will examine your teeth and bite and will discuss any orthodontic problems with you. Should treatment be indicated at this stage, records such as plaster models, x-rays and photographs will be obtained and a follow-up appointment will be scheduled.

At this second visit your treatment will be discussed in detail and costs finalised. There are often a number of different treatment options and the differences will be discussed with you. As previously mentioned, one of our practise goals is to ensure our clients are fully informed and comfortable with their treatment plan.

Your treatment and records will be demontrated to you on a personalised interactive CD-ROM which you can take home and review at your leisure. This will clearly explain your need for treatment, what your treatment involves and how to get the best results. Taking this CD home will enable you to show other family members your treatment plan and will also provide answers to many questions and effective solutions to any problems you may encounter along the way.

If treatment is not indicated at this stage, a review appointment may be recommended for a later date – this is quite common in young children who present with apparent early problems.
