We welcome you to our office and look forward to meeting you. We know that choosing an orthodontist is a big decision and we are grateful that you have chosen us. Our goal is to create the beautiful smile you have always wanted in a caring, comfortable environment.

            At the complimentary consultation, Drs. Hambleton and MacFarlane will review your medical and dental history, provide a complete oral exam and discuss treatment possibilities. Depending upon the possibilities, orthodontic records may be requested. Orthodontic records consist of a model of your teeth and various x-rays.

Once we review and study your records, we will have a conference and discuss the appropriate treatment plan.  The conference appointment takes about thirty minutes to cpmplete. We will review your records and answer any questions you may have. We will finalize the treatment plan and review financial arrangements.

Appointments During Treatment:

            The initial appointments to place the appliances (braces) take about an hour and a half. These appointments are regularly scheduled in the morning. Once the appliances are placed, appointments are scheduled every four to six weeks, and last about 30-40 minutes.

            Our office is open Tuesday through Friday from 7:30am until 4:30pm. Patients are seen by appointment only and it is best to schedule your next appointment upon check-out. If you should need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please call us as soon as possible. Missed appointments or cancelled appointments may increase your treatment time. As we work hard to be on time for you, we ask that you do the same for others!

Cost:

            The cost and treatment time for orthodontic cases depends upon the complexity of the case. We are happy to meet with you for a complimentary new patient exam  to give you a better idea.
