During the initial examination for each patient, we will address the following questions that cover the basics of orthodontic treatment. We encourage you to ask questions as well.

• Is there a condition that orthodontics can address?

• Is treatment needed now or should treatment be delayed until appropriate growth, tooth eruption or other factors have occurred?

• What treatment procedures will be used to correct the problem?

• Do any permanent teeth need to be removed?

• How long will treatment take?

• How much will it cost?

• What are my payment options?
