We are pleased that you have made an appointment to see us for an orthodontic consultation. We want your first visit to be as informative and enjoyable as possible. Here is some information on what to expect during this visit.At this initial evaluation, Dr. Patel will review your chief orthodontic concerns. He will discuss with you whether orthodontic therapy is indicated at this time. If it is not indicated, the reason for postponing treatment will be explained, and a recall schedule will be suggested. If treatment is indicated, Dr. Patel will review with you what treatment is suggested, how long the treatment should take, howmuch the treatment will cost, and any unusual circumstances surrounding the proposed treatment. There is a nominal fee for your initial office consultation.
