How do I go about getting braces?
There are a few steps that must be completed prior to getting braces. First, we will do a FREE INITIAL VISIT to determine your need for orthodontia. After the preliminary visit,if it deemed necessary to pursue braces, we will take some records which are $150.00. About 1-2 weeks after the records are taken, we will do a consultation where we will discuss the actual treatment and the fees associated with your treatment. Once the consultation is complete, we will set up two appointments for braces. The first appointment is called spacers and takes 5-10 minutes and can be done in the morning or the afternoon. One to two weeks after the spacers are inserted we will apply the braces. This appointment will take 1- 1 1/2 hours and is performed between 8am and 11:30am. After the braces are applied, we typically see patients every 5-6 weeks for adjustments.
