What to Expect

You've made an appointment with Karen ~ now what happens?

  • Initial Visit
  • Records & Examination
  • Consultation

Initial Visit
This is a relatively brief visit where Dr Reisner will see if you are ready for braces and give an estimate of treatment and the time you would need in braces.

Records & Examination
At this appointment you will receive a thorough examination of your teeth and mouth. In order to learn as much as possible, you will also have the following:

  • Molds of your top and bottom teeth
  • X-rays of your head, teeth and jaw joint
  • Photographs of your teeth and face
  • Medical and dental history

Consultation
At the consultation appointment, your treatment plan will be discussed. Any risks or limitations will also be discussed and you will be encouraged to ask questions. Write down any questions so they may be answered at this visit.

Before Dr Reisner starts your treatment, you will probably need to visit your general dentist for a good cleaning and cavity check. While you are in braces you will need to see your dentist every 3-6 months for cleaning and check-ups. It is important that your teeth and gums stay nice and healthy.
