First Visit

Welcome to Weston Orthodontic Associates! We are eager to meet you. 

Comprehensive Examination and Treatment Planning

Dr. Han will conduct a thorough orthodontic examination and personally discuss the treatment plan with you and your family.

Purpose of the Initial Examination

During the initial examination, we aim to address these key questions:

  • What dental issues, if any, are present?
  • When is the optimal time to commence treatment?
  • What treatment options are suitable?
  • How long will the treatment take?
  • What are the anticipated costs?

Next Steps

If treatment is necessary following the initial exam, we will schedule an appointment for Diagnostic Records. If time allows, these records can be taken during your first visit.

Diagnostic Records

Diagnostic Records include:

  1. Intraoral and extraoral diagnostic photographs.
  2. Panoramic and cephalogram radiographs and tracings.
  3. iTero 3D scans as needed.

Dr. Han will analyze these records to determine the most effective treatment plan.

Treatment Costs

The cost of treatment varies based on the complexity of your case. During the treatment consultation, Dr. Han will discuss fees. Prior to the start of treatment, payment plans, and insurance coverage can be discussed. 

What Your Investment Includes

Your investment covers:

  • Orthodontic records: x-rays, diagnostic photographs, scans as needed, and a personalized growth study workup.
  • Active treatment fees for braces or Invisalign, including all office visits and procedures. Appliances are durable and should last throughout treatment. Replacement fees may apply under specific circumstances.
