Welcome
to Garden State
Orthodontics!
As you may know, orthodontics is the field of
dentistry that deals with the alignment and the
balance of the teeth, jaws, bite and face. We
hope that we can be of some service to you.
On the first appointment, we will give the patient a
thorough and complete clinical examination of the
mouth and face. We will then discuss the possible
need of orthodontics, and briefly describe what this
would entail in your particular case. This visit
will involve absolutely NO
discomfort. The initial exam visit is
complimentary.
If the patient does need orthodontics, the next step
after the initial exam is orthodontic records. This
includes two radiographs (x-rays), photographs, and
upper and lower impressions (molds) of the teeth.
The information from these records allows for a more
detailed and accurate diagnosis, and also documents
the starting point of treatment. After the records
appointment, we are ready to start treatment. When
treatment is complete, it is amazing to see the
before and after comparison.
