We understand choosing to receive orthodontic care is a BIG decision, so our new patient exam is thorough and informative with plenty of time to ask questions and no pressure to make a quick decision! We treat ages 5 and up, and offer a variety of custom treatment options.
Once you schedule your first appointment, we ask that you complete your new patient paperwork. This will give us time to review your health history and contact your insurance to determine your benefits. Also, if you are past due for a dental cleaning and exam, visit your dentist. We can safely move only healthy teeth!
The initial consultation with Dr. P is a chance to meet our doctor and team, receive an initial exam with records and discuss which treatment options will best fit your needs. Expect an in-depth analysis with innovative solutions from our highly-rated orthodontist. We will discuss financial information, insurance options and payment plans.
We will send letters to you and your dentist summarizing the treatment options. If treatment is recommended, you can get started the same day! We understand everyone is busy so we do our best to make orthodontics as convenient as possible. If you prefer to come back, we will schedule a convenient time. If you need time to think about it, we totally understand this is a big decision. We aren’t going anywhere so we will be ready to move forward when you are!
We strive to provide affordable, high-quality treatment that fits within your budget. The cost of treatment will vary depending on your individual needs and treatment plan, which is why finances are discussed after your complimentary exam. Most individuals are pleasantly surprised when they find out how affordable we make orthodontic treatment. We also offer sibling and parent discounts!
At Pittman Family Orthodontics, every new orthodontic treatment start helps us give back. A portion of each start is donated quarterly to a local nonprofit organization, so when you begin your personalized, you’re also helping us make a positive impact in our community.
There are certain orthodontic conditions that significantly benefit from early orthodontic intervention and not all of them will be readily apparent to you or to even your dentist! The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that all children have a check-up with an orthodontic specialist no later than age 7. DON’T STRESS Mom and Dad! Most kids do not need any early treatment and we will see them every 1 to 2 years to monitor growth and development until the permanent teeth erupt. For those that would benefit from early intervention, there are a variety of treatment techniques besides braces.
