Your First Visits
Orthodontix / Your First Visits
If you're not sure what to expect with your orthodontic treatment, we're here to help. Find out what you can expect from your first 3 visits with us.
Many people can benefit from orthodontic treatment - it can completely transform your smile!
On arrival, you will be greeted by our friendly receptionist who will get you going with filling in our new patient registration and medical history form.
Our orthodontist wants to get to know you and introduce himself to you. We want to know what your concerns are, and what you would like to achieve. At the initial consultation, we will provide a comprehensive orthodontic examination, take photographs of your profile and teeth for future reference and tentatively discuss potential treatment options.
Records ($95)
If you wish to continue your journey to get the confidence to smile more, the next step is to take detailed orthodontic records. We will make a 3D scan of your teeth, and take 1 or 2 X-Ray pictures. This gives your orthodontist all the information he needs to make a treatment plan that will be best suited for you. This plan will be discussed with you at your treatment plan appointment approximately two weeks later.
The Treatment Plan ($270 - $495 depending on treatment required)
The orthodontist will recommend the best treatment plan tailored to your needs as well as discussing any treatment alternatives that may be available. We will also take you through the costs of treatment and discuss payment options. This appointment has more than enough time to let you ask any questions you may have. We realise however that you may have more questions during your treatment and we will always do our best to answer them along the way. You will also receive a folder containing a consent form, payment contract and a detailed letter confirming the treatment recommended for you.
If you've already had x-rays taken, please bring these with you.
If you think your problem is related to an ACC case, please bring all your ACC documentation with you.
Your complimentary, initial consultation will take around 20 minutes.
Please note, if you fail to attend your appointment or you don't give us 24 hours notice of cancellation you may be charged a fee of $80.00.
