| CONSULTATION |
|
| At your initial consultation appointment, Dr. Brenkert will examine you or your child and determine the orthodontic problems that are present that need to be treated. He will review your jaw joints and associated muscles along with your bite relationship. He will also examine the muscles of the jaw area and the relationship of your bite and teeth to your facial profile. Alignment of the teeth and your bite along with the balance of your facial profile provides a pleasing, smiling, functional bite relationship that you can enjoy for the rest of your life. A computer diagnostic program is used so that the information determined at your initial examination will be available for you by the end of your initial consultation appointment. This will provide you with a recorded determination of the treatment that is recommended for you or your child. Dr. Brenkert will then answer any questions that you may have in relationship to the treatment recommended and also review the different type of orthodontic appliances and treatment alternatives that are available to you to provide an orthodontic correction for your problem. |

| Following the doctor's examination, the insurance/financial assistant will visit with you to review the fees involved for the therapy and also, what insurance coverage you may have. A convenient payment plan will then be established so that treatment can be started in a timely manner. All records are computerized for your convenience and a statement can be printed out at any time during the treatment so that you can have a current record of your financial statement. |
|
| Following the initial consultation, you will be requested to return for supporting diagnostic x-rays, models of your teeth, photographs, and any other specialized information that is needed in order to correct your orthodontic problem. Dr. Brenkert will then review the diagnostic information and coordinate that with your initial examination to confirm his diagnosis and treatment plan for you. A short consultation appointment is then held with Dr. Brenkert or his treatment coordinator and the appointments are made to place the braces. |
