What can I expect during my consultation?

When you first come in for your initial consultation, Dr. Elchahal will conduct a comprehensive examination to assess your oral health. This will better enable us to determine the best treatment method for you.

Your orthodontic evaluation will consist of an oral and facial examination to assess your oral health. At this initial, complimentary consultation, we will have you take intraoral and facial photographs as well as panoramic and cephalometric X-rays to help determine the proper orthodontic treatment method. We find that many patients are not ready for treatment when examined. In those cases, the patient is placed on a recall program and the family is sent a reminder in the future to come back for an orthodontic re-evaluation.

If you are seeking orthodontic treatment for your child, our staff asks that both you and your child attend the initial consultation. We feel it is important that both you and your child completely understand Dr. Elchahal’s recommendations before we proceed with treatment.

Give us a call today and schedule a consultation! We look forward to hearing from you!
