What to Expect

Your Consultation Appointment

At this visit, Dr. Faleye and staff will:

• Take a panoramic radiograph
• Listen to your needs and concerns
• Examine your teeth and jaws
• Discuss the treatment options and the treatment process
• Discuss the payment options and insurance benefits
  and implement a payment plan.

After the treatment and financial details have been outlined, if treatment is indicated, orthodontic records, that is, study models, photographs and radiographs, will be done. Separators will be placed that will stay in for one to two weeks, at which time the braces will be placed.

Your Initial Banding/Bonding Appointment

This appointment usually lasts about 2 hours. Instructions will then be given to the parent and patient by the assistant. Instructions will include dietary, care and oral hygiene instructions.

Your Adjustment Appointments

Patients are seen by appointment only. Our office hours are 8:00am until 4:30pm, Monday through Wednesday with lunch from 11:30am until 1pm and Thursday hours are 7am to 2pm with lunch 11 to 11:30 am. The office is closed on Fridays, weekends, and major holidays. We strive to see our patients on time and we ask the same courtesy of our patients. If it is necessary to change or cancel your appointment, please call the office at least 24 hours in advance to allow us to make this time available to our other patients. During treatment, your appointment will be scheduled every 8 to 10 weeks and appointments generally last 30-45minutes. We do rotate morning and evening appointments as we cannot grant the request of most patients to come only after school or work.
