A referral is not necessary to schedule an exam. Just give us a call and we will do the rest.
For phase I treatment where the objective is growth modification, the appointment when you get your appliances (expanders, space maintainers, temporary braces) may take anywhere from 30-60 minutes. For comprehesive or phase II treatment, the appointment when you get your appliances (complete braces) usually takes 1 to 2 hours.
You'll then see us at regular intervals 6-10 weeks apart for an adjustment, which takes 20 to 40 minutes. Patients are seen by appointment only.
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 immediately.
