What are diagnostic records and consultation?
The diagnostic records appointment takes about an hour and consist of taking photographs, x-rays, and study models of your teeth. These records are used by the doctors to study your teeth and formulate a treatment plan to correct your orthodontic problems. A later consultation visit, with either Dr. Fields or Dr. Gallois, will be scheduled to go over every detail of your diagnosis and treatment plan. This visit is a great opportunity for you to learn about what your treatment will be like and ask as many questions as you want. Therefore, we feel that it is important that the patient be present at the consultation visit. From here we can go forward with scheduling the placement of your orthodontic appliances or braces.
