What happens at first appointment

At the first appointment a clinical orthodontic assessment will be performed. We will explain any problems to you and discuss if treatment is necessary. At the end of this appointment you will know

  1. What is the orthodontic problem
  2. What can we do to correct the problem
  3. How long it will take
  4. How much it will cost
  5. When is the best time to commence treatment

    We strive to make the braces cost as affordable as possible.

If treatment is required, the next step is to take records. This involves taking impressions of the teeth for study models, taking intra and extra oral photos and organising for X-rays to be taken.
Dr Lipshatz is then able to comprehensively study the problem and confirm the proposed treatment plan.
The next appointment, if necessary, is called a "Case Discussion". Dr Lipshatz will discuss the disgnosis with you in detail and explain the means to achieving the best possible functional and aesthetic results.
Any questions will be answered and we take the time to enable you to make an informed decision regarding treatment.
