There is no charge for the initial visit to our office. Before beginning any type of treatment, each patient meets with our Treatment Coordinator and Dr. MacDonald, Dr. Tyska or Dr. Alexander. We want each patient to know exactly what problems have been identified, the type of orthodontic treatment necessary and the best time to initiate treatment. The length of time and the cost involved for the treatment will also be discussed. We believe education is the key to a successful orthodontic result.
