What to expect when visiting our orthodontic office for your new patient consultation
When you come in for your complimentary consultation you will be greeted by our new patient and appointment coordinators. If you haven't already, you will be asked to fill out new patient forms: medical history, Hipaa and consent forms, as well as dental insurance information. Once you are finished with paperwork a certified assistant will introduce themselves and take you to our records room. During this time, the assistant will take two digital X-rays- a panoramic and cephalometric. After x-rays, digital photos of your mouth are taken, and we use our high-tech Itero Scanner to create a 3D model of your teeth. Dr. Azizi will then analyze all the records very carefully. He will then consult with the patient. Dr. Azizi will give the patient his professional opinion on what type of treatment is beneficial and what would work best for you.
Am I too old for Braces or Invisalign?
Many people believe there is an age limit to receiving orthodontic treatment. Good news! Your age should not deter you from getting the beautiful smile you have always wanted. Everyone deserves a perfect smile no matter how old they are! Dr. Azizi will be able to give you that confidence boost when you are ready.
How can you straighten your teeth?
Whether you are a teenager or adult you can straighten your teeth by using braces or invisalign! Yes, you read that right adult patients CAN get braces because again, orthodontics does not have an age limit! Some patients may think they will not be able to get treatment due to missing teeth or needing dental work completed, but that is not true. Dr. Azizi will still be able to give you the best treatment plan by communicating with your dentist while you are in orthodontic treatment.
What are your options for orthodontic treatment?
- Traditional metal braces- Metal braces are the most common type of braces. The braces are made out of stainless steel and will straighten your teeth using the brackets and archwires. You can add and change the colors to your metal braces every visit.
- Clear braces- Clear braces are a common choice for teens and adults who do not like invisalign. The clear braces are made out of ceramic brace with clear materials that do require more upkeep with your oral hygiene. They will straighten your teeth using the clear brackets and clear archwires.
- Invisalign- Invisalign is a series of invisible trays that are prescribed by Dr. Azizi to align your teeth and correct your bite. Patients choose invisalign due to cosmetic reasons and their lifestyle. Invisalign patients need to wear their clear aligners at least 22 hours a day.
With full cooperation of the patient and Dr. Azizi’s superb treatment plan you will achieve a perfect smile in no time!
