Step 1: Capturing Comprehensive Records

During the orthodontic evaluation, Dr. Callison captures a series of records. These records include photographs of your child’s teeth and facial structures. By visually examining these images, we gain valuable insights into your child’s oral health.

Additionally, a digital scanner is used to create a precise record of the size and shape of all the teeth. This advanced technology ensures accurate measurements, aiding in developing an effective treatment plan tailored specifically to your child’s needs.

Step 2: X-Rays and Oral Examination

Dr. Callison also takes X-rays inside your child’s mouth to ensure a thorough evaluation. These X-rays help identify underlying issues, such as decay or hidden problems, requiring attention before commencing orthodontic treatment. The dentist provides a solid foundation for a successful treatment journey by addressing these concerns early on.

Dr. Callison personally evaluates your child’s oral health, taking measurements and observing any specific dental conditions. This in-person assessment provides a comprehensive understanding of your child’s unique orthodontic needs.

Step 3: Discussion and Clarification

At this stage, Dr. Callison encourages you to ask any questions you have about your child. This is an important opportunity for you to gain clarity on various aspects of your child’s treatment. You can discuss concerns, treatment options, and the expected duration of the orthodontic journey. Dr. Callison believes that informed parents can make the best decisions for their child’s oral health, and he strives to provide all the necessary information for you to do so.

Step 4: Financial and Scheduling Considerations

Understanding orthodontic treatment’s financial and scheduling aspects is crucial for planning and preparing. Dr. Callison ensures that you clearly understand the associated costs, payment options, and insurance coverage. Discussing the financials allows you to make informed decisions and create a suitable plan for your child’s orthodontic care.

Dr. Callison will also provide you with an outline of the scheduling and timing of the visits. This allows you to plan accordingly, ensuring minimal disruption to your child’s daily routine.
