We look forward to meeting you at your first visit to our office. During this time, we will help you get acquainted with Christopherson Orthodontics and learn about your Orthodontic needs. We understand that each patient's Orthodontic treatment is different, and we promise to give you the personal attention you deserve. Your first visit will consist of an initial examination and a discussion of your potential treatment options. This important visit will allow Dr. Christopherson to determine if this is the right time to begin treatment.

During this visit, we will also address the following questions that cover the basics of Orthodontic treatment. We encourage you to ask questions as well.

• Is there a condition present that Orthodontics can address?
• Is treatment needed now or should treatment be delayed until appropriate growth, tooth eruption or other factors have occurred?
• What treatments or procedures will be used to correct the problem?
• How long will treatment take?
• What is the cost of treatment & payment options?

We will provide you with a complete clinical diagnosis and provide your dentist with a summary of the findings. When treatment is ready to begin, diagnostic records will be taken and a detailed plan will be created to outline the prescribed treatment. At Christopherson Orthodontics we encourage questions from both the patient and parents, and as such, we make sure to provide ample time to answer any questions you may have.

Open Communication

We believe that good orthodontic care begins with open communication. We promise to speak candidly with you about our diagnosis and recommendations, any alternative treatments and any symptoms present that may require further treatment. Working together, we can achieve a true partnership, with one common goal - helping you achieve a healthy, beautiful and confident smile!
