YOUR FIRST VISIT

At the first visit to the orthodontist, you will meet with Dr. Cohen to determine your orthodontic needs and the treatment options available.

If treatment is indicated, diagnostic records are made to determine the best course of treatment. The records can be taken at the initial visit or an appointment can be set up to take the records at the patient's convenience.

Complete diagnostic records typically include a medical/dental history, clinical examination; plaster study models of the teeth, digital photos of the patient's face and teeth, and dental radiographs.

This information is reviewed by Dr. Cohen and is used to develop a custom treatment plan for each patient. These records are also helpful in tracking the progress of treatment as the teeth move under orthodontic care.
