Your first visit to Drs. Reese and Bonvino will be very straightforward and easy. We will be asking you to complete a medical questionnaire upon your arrival. Our new patient coordinator will introduce you to our office. We will then conduct a clinical orthodontic examination and will discuss her findings in detail with you.

We will be able to inform you if orthodontic treatment is required at this time or in the future and answer any questions you may have. Our goal is to have you leave our office informed and comfortable with the new information you have been given. We appreciate you are probably hearing about orthodontics for the first time, so we have allowed enough time to answer all the questions you may have, so please do not feel rushed.

Observation Visit

If, after the clinical examination, we do not feel that treatment is recommended at this time, we may decide to schedule an observation appointment for a later date. This appointment is usually a quick appointment to check dental development and determine if the patient is ready to commence orthodontic treatment.

Diagnostic Visit

If treatment is recommended, we require diagnostic records. We analyze the records to determine a custom treatment plan for each patient. Complete diagnostic records typically include photographs, x-rays and impressions to make diagnostic mounted study models.

Consultation Visit

Drs. Reese and Bonvino will discuss, in detail, their orthodontic treatment recommendations. We will also discuss the recommended treatment, schedule appointments to commence treatment, and discuss financial arrangements.
