 At your first visit to our Hastings or Grand Island Office please check in at the reception desk with your completed New Patient Information/Medical History Questionnaire (which was mailed to you with your welcome letter) and any current radiographs that your dentist has sent. If you do not have a current panoramic radiograph, one will be taken at no charge. The Treatment Coordinator will escort you and/or your parents to the new examination room. The Treatment Coordinator will review the New Patient Information/Medical History Form and answer any preliminary questions you have. Once the panoramic radiograph is processed one of our doctors will conduct the clinical orthodontic examination. Information will be recorded and shared with the referring dentist, patient and parents. Our doctors will provide as much information regarding a preliminary diagnosis and treatment plan and estimated fees as possible without complete diagnostic records.
- The patient will be placed on growth and guidance recall to follow their development if orthodontic treatment will be needed in the future.
- Complete diagnostic records will be recommended if it is the proper time to start treatment. In most cases the diagnostic records are obtained at the first visit. If diagnostic records are obtained at the first visit a preliminary treatment plan will be presented along with financial arrangements. For the more complicated cases the patient and parents will be asked to return for a consultation appointment or one of our doctors will call the patient/parents at home.
- No treatment may be recommended.
