FIRST VISIT

First Visit — New Orthodontic Patients

Your initial visit is a dedicated time to visit and find out why you are seeking an orthodontic consultation. We will take a series of diagnostic photographs and a panoramic x-ray. Dr. Tardy will review your health history and perform an examination. Based on the findings, Dr. Tardy will provide a comprehensive explanation of your diagnosis and the treatment options available to address your needs. Your consultation will conclude with a brief visit with our financial coordinator. We will review the proposed treatment plan and associated fees and schedule a convenient time for you to get started. We see patients of all ages and welcome family members to attend the visit so that everyone has a chance to have their questions answered by our board-certified orthodontist.

Please complete the new orthodontic patient form prior to your appointment. Also it would be helpful to have the following items handy:

• A list of all medications you are presently taking
• Picture ID
• Your dental insurance card
• New patient forms
