Accepting Insurance & Offering Same-Day Ortho Starts – Book Your Appointment
When you arrive for your first visit, you will be welcomed by our new patient coordinator. Additionally, you or your parent/guardian will be asked to complete a detailed health history form. You will find all of our health history forms on this web site under For New Patients. You may print them at home and bring them with you to your initial exam.
Dr. Sabatino sets aside a dedicated one hour for your visit.
During this in-depth exam, Dr. Sabatino reviews your medical and dental history and performs a clinical exam.
Once orthodontic treatment is deemed necessary, a set of diagnostic records will need to be taken before appliances can be placed. Study model impressions will be taken of both the upper and lower arches as well as a wax bite. These impressions in addition to the radiographs, photographs, and examination will allow Dr. Sabatino to study the case in greater detail. A thorough diagnosis is critical to understanding each patient as an individual and to tailoring the treatment plan.
Orthodontic records include all necessary x-rays, diagnostic photos and diagnostic plaster models for patients.
This is the day you will get your braces! The appointment should last about 1 to 2 hours and will be scheduled during the morning hours. Your teeth will be polished and prepped for bonding prior to Dr. Sabatino placing the brackets. Oral hygiene is the key to successful treatment; we will give you a thorough demonstration of proper oral care and maintenance as well as a care kit. (We do recommend taking Tylenol or Advil prior to this appointment)
Once braces are placed your regular appointments should be every 6 to 8 weeks, lasting approximately 30 minutes each.
We’re in-network with many major insurance providers, and in many cases, you can start treatment the same day as your consultation!
