The First Consultation
During this visit the patient is examined clinically. This enables Dr. Palmer to give advice on the treatment options available, when treatment should commence, the duration of treatment, and the approximate cost. If the patient decides to proceed with treatment, an appointment is made to collect records.
.
Records allow the orthodontist to analyse each case accurately. They are also used to record the existing malocclusion for future reference.

Records Include: Impressions from which plaster models of the teeth are constructed. Photographs of the teeth and face. X-rays of the teeth and jaws

Treatment Planning:
At this visit Dr. Palmer discusses the treatment plan(s) which have been formulated using information obtained from the first consultation and records. Then, arrangements are made to commence treatment or, if it is too early, to review the patient periodically until it is an appropriate time to commence treatment.
