Here at Kottemann Orthodontics, we understand that the unknown can be a little overwhelming sometimes. As exciting as it is, choosing to receive orthodontic care is a big decision and one that we want you to feel confident in! This journey towards a straighter smile starts with your first visit to one of our five conveniently located offices. We view this initial consultation as one of the most important appointments you’ll have. This initial consultation is one of the most important appointments you’ll have. It’s our chance to show you what our office has to offer, and we want this to be an exciting and positive experience.
Taking the first steps towards the smile you’ve always wanted
We make it our mission to greet every patient with genuine warmth each time they enter the office! After we’ve said hello, we’ll be happy to show you around your chosen office and introduce you to some of our talented team. Before one of our doctors completes a thorough oral examination, we may take a series of diagnostic photos, along with a set of impressions and x-rays. We use your dental and medical records, any photos and x-rays taken, and the results of your examination to diagnose any orthodontic issues and create a customized treatment plan to address them.
Throughout your visit, we’ll make sure you understand each step of the process. Once your examination is complete, we’ll discuss some or all of the following topics.
- Any oral issues present that orthodontics can address
- If treatment is needed now, or if it would it be better to delay it until certain growth, tooth eruption, or other factors have occurred
- What treatment options we have available to correct the problem
- If any permanent teeth will need to be removed first
- How long treatment is estimated to take
- How much we expect the treatment process to cost
- What payment options are available to you
It’s important to us that we analyze each patient’s specific needs in order to produce the best results possible. The in-depth planning we do also leads to higher patient satisfaction, making it a win for everybody!
Investing in your new smile
Once you’ve decided on a treatment plan that fits your specific case, lifestyle, and goals, we’ll sit down with you and take a look at the total investment needed for your new smile.
