Ask Dr. Meehan: What can I expect during my consultation?

Our main goal at Meethan Orthodontics is to provide our patients with the best orthodontic treatment possible. When you first come in for your initial complimentary consultation, Dr. Meehan 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. Dr. Meehan will have you take intraoral and facial photographs as well as panoramic and cephalometric X-rays to help determine the proper orthodontic treatment method. Then, an impression of your teeth and bite will be taken to construct a model of your mouth. (This will help Dr. Meehan when examining your diagnostic records).

At your second appointment, Dr. Meehan will discuss your options with you. Our team feels it’s important to take the time to carefully examine your diagnostic records after your consultation so that Dr. Meehan can more thoroughly prepare for your treatment at Meehan Orthodontics. This additional preparation will ensure that you receive the best orthodontic care possible. At this time, we encourage you to ask us any questions you may have about your treatment.

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. Meehan’s recommendations before we proceed with treatment.

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