Initial Consultation
During your first visit, our orthodontist will assess your needs, take the necessary diagnostics (X-rays, impressions or scans), and determine the recommended treatment.
Estimate & Application
We’ll prepare a full cost estimate for the proposed orthodontic work. If you qualify, we’ll help you complete the insurance/dental care plan application.
Plan Approval
The plan provider reviews your case. Once approved, we’ll confirm how much of the treatment cost will be covered, and inform you of the co-pay.
Treatment Begins
You can begin your orthodontic treatment. We’ll also go over aftercare and any maintenance your appliances will require.
Ongoing Care & Follow-up
Regular check-ups, adjustments, and follow-up visits are included under the plan, as long as they are part of the prescribed treatment. Once active treatment ends, retainers are typically provided under your coverage or at a reduced cost.
