During this visit we obtain xrays and photographs and then the patient is examined clinically. This enables the orthodontist to give advice on the treatment options available, when treatment should commence, the duration of treatment, and the approximate cost.
If treatment is indicated at that time, we will also be able to obtain plaster models of the patient.
All the records that are obtained allow the Orthodontist to analyse each case accurately. They are also used to record the existing malocclusion for future reference.
