What to Expect During the Examination
During your initial exam, Dr. Kohli will sit with you and conduct a thorough evaluation of your smile. The goal is to examine the positioning of your teeth and jaws to ensure they are correctly aligned. It is typically advised that individuals should undergo their first examination by age 7, as this allows Dr. Kohli to gauge the child’s oral health and foresee potential changes in dental development.
No matter your age, this evaluation will equip our doctor with essential information to determine whether orthodontic treatment could be beneficial for you.
Alongside the examination, standard diagnostic procedures such as digital X-rays, photographs, or impressions are generally conducted during your initial appointment. These assessments offer a more comprehensive insight into your oral health, covering aspects like tooth development, jawbone condition, and other critical factors. By acquiring a well-rounded understanding of your oral situation, Dr. Kohli is able to create a customized treatment plan that addresses your unique requirements.
TREATMENT OPTIONS
Now, we’ll discuss which orthodontic issues can be addressed. If problems are identified, treatment may be suggested right away or postponed due to a child’s age, depending on the growth phase of the teeth and jaws. You will be informed about all available treatment options, ensuring you have a comprehensive understanding before making a decision on the next steps.
At this point, it’s essential to ask any questions you have to feel more assured about your orthodontic care. Below are some typical questions you might want to bring up during your initial appointment:
- When should treatment begin?
- What procedures might be necessary?
- Does my child need any tooth extractions?
- How long will the treatment take?
- What will be the cost of the treatment, and what are the payment options?
