Before the visit
A first orthodontic visit is used to understand the concern, review dental history and decide whether treatment, monitoring or additional records are appropriate.
Braces Consultation and First Orthodontic Visit in Surrey
This preserved legacy page is the primary guide for first visits, orthodontic consultations and appointment expectations for Surrey braces patients.
Records and diagnosis
Photos, X-rays, scans or other records may be recommended when diagnosis requires more information. The goal is to understand tooth position, bite relationships, growth, oral health and treatment limitations.
Discussing treatment options
A useful consultation explains what problem is being corrected, which options are reasonable, what each option requires from the patient and how treatment may affect school, work, hygiene, sports or travel.
Cost and timing
Fee discussions should be tied to the proposed treatment plan. Ask what is included, how payment arrangements work, whether insurance may apply and when treatment should start.
Questions patients should ask
Ask why a specific appliance is recommended, whether there are alternatives, what risks or limitations apply, how emergencies are handled and what retention will be needed after treatment.
