How do I fit orthodontics into my busy schedule?
Most people seeking orthodontic treatment have other important obligations during the day, usually involving work or school. When active orthodontic treatment begins, each patient is seen every few weeks and some of these appointments may conflict with work or school schedules.
We have devoted considerable time and effort into designing our scheduling systems. Here is what we want to do:
- First, we want to see you on time for your appointment.
- Second, we want to have adequate time during each appointment to complete the necessary procedures.
- Third, we wish to answer questions and update your treatment progress.
Our Approach
Emergencies, longer appointments and repairs, which are few in number, are scheduled during our morning or early afternoon hours. In this way after school appointments will accommodate as many families as possible. If you should ever wish to come to our office during a quieter time, please ask to schedule an appointment during morning hours.
Some appointments are short. During your treatment there are times when the adjustments are completed quickly even though they may be quite technical. We had tried to design treatment methods that limit your inconvenience.
Rescheduling Appointments
We ask for at least 48-hours notice to reschedule an appointment, as we have set aside time to accommodate your specific needs. Missed appointments or numerous appointment changes will inevitably result in an extension of your treatment time and could result in additional charges. Our goal in rescheduling appointments is to keep your treatment progressing and on time. Waiting for a convenient after school appointment can delay treatment.
