All you need to know about an Orthodontic Consultation
An orthodontic consultation here at TOC is pretty simple and straight forward.
It involves a full sit down with Dr De Angelis and our Treatment Coordinator for a face to face consultation to see how we can help you, or your child.
What happens at the orthodontic consult?
- You’ll have a full consultation with Dr De Angelis and our Treatment Coordinator
- Our Treatment Coordinators are integral in this consultation – they help Dr De Angelis and the patient to ensure things run smoothly and ensure the patient has all of the information to make an informed decision about their treatment
- Dr De Angelis and his team take X-rays, digital scans and photos
- You’ll lie down on our dental chair so Dr De Angelis can check your teeth, your bite and your jaws. The X-rays taken help him work out the current state of your teeth and your jaw
- Dr De Angelis will provide advice on treatment options and timeframes
- Our Treatment Coordinator will provide detailed information on fees, any discounts, and what to expect
- If you are happy to sign on for treatment we will schedule your first appointment or you can start the same day*! (*if you wish to start treatment same day please let us know before coming in for your consultation)
- Our admin team will work with you to set up an interest free finance plan (if needed) and help you to access any rebates from your health care provider
What happens after the orthodontic consultation?
- You’ll receive a full personalised treatment plan from Dr De Angelis. He puts a custom plan together based on his expertise on how teeth must move in order to get the straightest and healthiest smile possible
- Our Treatment Coordinator will be there to answer any questions you might have
