When you ring the surgery to make your appointments the receptionist will-
• Confirm type of treatment you are proceeding with.
• Confirm cost of treatment and confirm your initial deposit which is required the day you commence your treatment.
• Check to see if you require any extractions or exposures of teeth prior to commencement of your orthodontic treatment.
• If you need to have extractions or exposures we will need to make your appointments in advance allowing enough time for you to call your dentist and arrange an appointment for your extractions / exposures and also to allow adequate time for healing (approximately 2 weeks).
• If an extraction note for your dentist is required we can either arrange to send it along with your X-Ray directly to your dentist or to you (we will check which option is more convenient). However if you wish to have it sent to you – you will need to remember to take it to your dentist or otherwise they will be unable to remove the teeth.

Appointments will then be scheduled for -

Records
At this appointment we will take study models (impressions) of your teeth if we have not already taken them prior. We will also take some photographic records and then place separators between your teeth. This appointment will take approximately 15 minutes. We then need to see you in 1 week’s time to fit the braces.

Fixed Appliances (Braces)
At this appointment we will remove the separators if they have not already fallen out. We will then clean your teeth and then glue the braces in place. This appointment will take approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. After the braces are fitted the doctor will see you at 4 – 6 week intervals. Initially appointments can be hard to get as patients book ahead of time.

Appointments are only made for the current month plus 2 months ahead of time. As you can imagine every patient would like to come before or after school but this is not possible. The doctor has set time for certain procedures. Once braces are fitted we endeavour to make you before and after school appointments if possible. Never leave without making a follow up appointment.
