Appointments & Insurance
Report
Our office strives to be convenient and fair to all of our patients, which is why we have carefully crafted our scheduling policies with everyone in mind.
Many of our patients have school and/or work during the day, and we are sensitive to their needs for afternoon appointments.
Due to the demand for these time slots, late afternoon appointments are reserved for shorter adjustment appointments, so that as many patients can be seen in the afternoons as possible.
Longer appointments, such as initial banding, de-banding, and emergency or repair appointments, will be scheduled during the day.

Faq
Report
No, it is not.
Many of our patients are referred by their family dentist, yet many other patients take the initiative to schedule an examination themselves.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic screening at age 7. By this age, several permanent teeth in most children have erupted, allowing us to effectively evaluate your orthodontic condition.
No, they will not.
The space available for the front teeth does not increase as you grow.
In most people, after the permanent molars erupt, the space available for the front teeth decreases with age.
