Your Orthodontic Appointments

Last

In order to ensure quality orthodontic care, it is important that both parents and patients understand the manner in which we schedule your appointments. Our goal is to be the best part of your day and we make it a priority to value both you and your time. Therefore, we make every effort to stay on or ahead of schedule. lnconveniencing your work schedule and interrupting your child’s studies as infrequently as possible is very important to our entire office. Since the vast majority of our patients are of school age, it is unavoidable that some school-time appointments will be necessary.

We are glad to work around your child's important classes and provide your child with school excuses for scheduled orthodontic appointments. It is important for your child to turn these into the appropriate school official.

Our team works hard to provide the finest orthodontic care using the most convenient scheduling system possible for you and your child. Because we have families of our own, we understand your scheduling concerns and will do everything we can to ensure your child’s treatment goes as smoothly as possible.


  • LONG APPOINTMENTS, BANDING, AND BONDING: These are more detailed and technique- sensitive appointments. Therefore, these appointments will be scheduled during Doctor’s quiet time which is late morning and early afternoon.
  • ORTHODONTIC DISCOMFORT: (Pain, swelling, or bleeding) This usually results from trauma to the face or mouth. These patients will be seen as soon as possible and either appropriate care given or referral to another specialist provided for treatment.
  • REPAIRS: (Loose bands or brackets, broken archwires or ties, broken appliances or retainers) These appointments are always scheduled specifically during school hours since they are long visits. The vast majority of your appointments over the course of treatment will be short appointments. By seeing our long-visit patients during school hours, it leaves more room in our schedule to see patients during after-school hours.
  • APPOINTMENTS BROKEN OR NOT CANCELLED WITHIN 48 HOURS: Another appointment will be scheduled but may require waiting four to six weeks. An appointment made during school hours may be arranged sooner.
  • GENERAL DENTIST APPOINTMENTS: As treatment progresses, it is important to continue seeing your regular dentist every six months for a checkup and cleaning.

Thank you so very much for understanding!

I have read and agree to the scheduling information above:

AAOIC SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMED CONSENT

Orthodontic Treatment in the Era of COVID-19

Thank you for your continued trust in our practice. As with the transmission of any communicable disease like a cold or the flu, you may be exposed to COVID-19, also known as “Coronavirus,” at any time or in any place. Be assured that we have always followed state and federal regulations and recommended universal personal protection and disinfection protocols to limit transmission of all diseases in our office and continue to do so.

Despite our careful attention to sterilization, disinfection, and use of personal barriers, there is still a chance that you could be exposed to an illness in our office, just as you might be at your gym, grocery store, or favorite restaurant. “Social Distancing” nationwide has reduced the transmission of the Coronavirus. Although we have taken measures to provide social distancing in our practice, due to the nature of the procedures we provide, it is not possible to maintain social distancing between the patient, orthodontist, orthodontic staff and sometimes other patients at all times.

Although exposure is unlikely, do you accept the risk and consent to treatment?
