Orthodontic Exam
 At the first visit, Dr. Neale will do a clinical examination to determine
any treatment needs and outline possible corrective measures. This appointment
usually takes 1 hour and is done in the morning so that Dr. Neale will
have the optimal time to spend with you. The approximate fee and further
procedures will be discussed at this time. If orthodontic intervention
is indicated, you may wish to proceed at this appointment with the necessary
diagnostic records that include models of the teeth, x-rays, and photographs.
Consultation
After Dr. Neale has evaluated your records, we'll discuss
your treatment with you in detail, including the cost for
your individual needs. We will also answer any questions
or concerns you may have regarding your case.
Appointment Scheduling
Our office hours are Monday-Wednesday 8:00am-5:00pm and on Thursday 7:00am-4:00pm. We are closed for lunch from 12:00pm-1:15pm.
Although there are an ever-increasing number of adults receiving orthodontic treatment, the majority of patients are of school age. Because of this, we are unable to see all of our patients after school. In order to serve our patients in the most efficient way possible, lengthy procedures such as bonding and removal of appliances are scheduled in the mornings and shorter appointments such as active adjustments and retainer checks are scheduled in the afternoon.
We will schedule your appointments every four to eight weeks during active treatment. Should you need to reschedule an appointment, kindly give us 24 hours notice.
