Your
initial visit will be informative, relaxed and complimentary. We will
review your medical/dental history and take photographs of your teeth
in preparation for your examination. If you have no current panoramic
X-ray available, we will take one for you. Dr. Aiosa will provide a
full examination of your orthodontic needs. We will also discuss our
fees, your insurance benefits and customize a payment plan to fit your
budget
WHAT IS THE BEST AGE TO SEE AN ORTHODONTIST?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that a child have
his or her first orthodontic examination by age 7. Early orthodontic
treatment allows for growth modification of the facial bones, which
can prevent the need for permanent tooth extraction and some surgical
procedures.
APPOINTMENT SCHEDULING
We try hard to accommodate our patients’/parents’ schedules.
All complimentary initial examinations and placement of appliances are
done in the morning or early afternoon. We offer routine adjustment
appointments as late as 6:30 p.m. These late appointment times are reserved
for short adjustments so we can accommodate as many after-school/after-work
appointments as possible. We also offer early 7 a.m. appointments.

FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS
Treatment fees are based on the complexity of each individual case.
We have several payment plans that can allow you to select the best
one to fit your budget. Generally, patients pay an initial investment
followed by monthly installments based on the total months of treatment.
We strive to make orthodontic treatment affordable. We gladly accept MasterCard and Visa. We also accept assignment
from any insurance company that lets you select your own orthodontist
and we will be happy to file all insurance claims for you. |
