During your initial consultation at Baker Orthodontics, Dr. Baker and Dr. Mahlmann will discuss your motivation and goals for seeking orthodontic treatment. Our team will review any x-rays and notes provided by your dentist and will create images of your teeth and the surrounding tissues using cameras and x-rays to help determine if orthodontic treatment is indicated. We will then present your diagnosis and recommend treatment options, working to develop a plan that best fits your individual needs. We will discuss treatment options and timelines, as well as costs and payment options for any proposed treatments.
Appointments during Treatment
Once your treatment plan and financial arrangements have been determined, we will schedule the first series of appointments to begin orthodontic treatment and will provide you with an estimated timeline for future visits. Your first appointment generally takes about 1 hour and will need to be scheduled during the morning. After this appointment, you will return for adjustments and evaluations every 4-6 weeks. These appointments will only take between 15-20 minutes and can be scheduled in the afternoons.
We look forward to seeing you in our office and showing you how orthodontic care can enhance your dental health and overall wellness. We want you to have the confidence to share your smile with the world!
