Customized & Individual Treatment Plan
Three Steps In Formulating An Orthodontic
Treatment Plan:
- Orthodontic Examination and Orthodontic
Records
The first step in determining your customized treatment plan is
learning as much about your orthodontic condition as possible.
This begins with a comprehensive orthodontic examination, during
which your teeth, bite, face, and profile are evaluated. Dr. Hendrix
and his team will then collect a complete set of orthodontic study
records, which typically includes plaster study models of your
teeth, special pictures of your head, teeth and jaw joints, digital
photographs, and your medical-dental history. This information
is used to help explain the problem, determine the optimal course
of orthodontic treatment, and propose treatment options that satisfy
your personal goals and objectives.
- Planning and Consultation
After examining you and studying your orthodontic records, Dr.
Hendrix will design a customized treatment plan especially for
you. He will discuss any significant concerns or limitations to
your treatment, and you will have an opportunity to discuss the
topics raised in our easy-to-read information booklet entitled
"Welcome to Hendrix Orthodontics- Informed Consent For The
New Orthodontic Patient." After all of your questions have
been answered to your satisfaction and you have authorized us
to do so, we will begin your personalized treatment plan.
- Dental Checkups and Care
We are committed to maintaining healthy gums and teeth. Before
orthodontic treatment begins, it will be necessary to visit your
general (family) dentist for a checkup. This is especially true
for adult patients. Once orthodontic therapy begins, you will
be expected to continue to see your family dentist for regular
three to six month checkups and routine care. Routine, preventative
dental care will help ensure the best possible results from your
orthodontic therapy at Hendrix Orthodontics.
