Complimentary Comprehensive Orthodontic Examination: Who needs one, and what is included?

What's the first thing you think of when you hear the word "orthodontics?" Preteens and teenagers in braces, right? Well, the scope of orthodontics goes beyond the brackets and wires of the teenage years. At Jungle Roots, we offer orthodontic services for every age, and the process begins with a complimentary comprehensive orthodontic exam!

What is Included In a Complimentary Comprehensive Orthodontic Examination?

Complimentary. How many times have you heard this word lately? Not often. Nowadays, nothing is free. That's not the case here. Our orthodontists want you to have a complete and thorough analysis, including all of the diagnostic records. This allows us to create an individualized treatment plan that fits your needs or those of your child.
During the complimentary comprehensive examination, we will spend as much time as necessary explaining the treatment we recommend. This visit includes discussing what
is involved, the benefits of the treatment, and why we suggest the plan's individual aspects. Of course, we will answer any questions that arise during this examination.
We'll discuss options that coincide with your treatment goals, lifestyle, and what is financially feasible. Our conservative approach to orthodontic care sets us apart, and we design your plan with your health and best interests in mind.
The same place your child has been coming for dental visits is where we provide their orthodontic visits, all in one dental home. You and your child are already comfortable with our environment and staff, so you've already hurdled the obstacles of a new space and different faces.

When Should You Begin Treatment?

Anytime!
Dental professionals may recommend that children have their first comprehensive examination by an orthodontist as early as the age of seven. Dr. Culp watches closely for dental conditions that will require an exam during these years of development. This exam allows the orthodontist to observe the growth and development of the jaw and note any indications of potential problems as their adult teeth erupt. If caught at this early age, many issues can be easier to treat than if they are not found until later in their teenage years.
Anyone who needs it can successfully receive orthodontic treatment at any age. That is why we also treat older children, teenagers, and adults! We will create an individualized plan, whether it is your first time receiving orthodontic treatments, if your child needs phase one or two treatment, or you’ve previously received treatments but your bite has changed over time. We can also coordinate treatment if you are moving from another location.

 

The Treatment Process

Straight teeth allow a beautiful smile to shine and make it easier to keep those teeth clean, making them less prone to decay and disease. But they are only one of the pleasing results of orthodontic treatment. The goal is to bring the entire mouth into optimal alignment.
So, a treatment plan may include more than just braces or invisible aligners. We'll attach your appliances and provide instructions on caring for them, dental wax, rubber bands,
mouthguards for those in sports, or anything else needed to effectively complete your treatment.
You'll visit for regular adjustments and assessments to ensure the treatment is on track and optimal for your successful treatment.
Once you or your child have reached complete alignment, we'll remove your appliances. We want to ensure that these changes to your mouth are permanent, so you will wear a retainer to ensure everything finishes healing and your teeth stay put.

Financial Aspects of Orthodontic Treatment

We understand that the financial aspects of orthodontic treatment may be a large part of the decision-making process.
When you set up the initial orthodontic exam for you or your child, we will also do a complimentary benefits check to help you navigate any insurance issues or questions. This happens before you even step through the door for the exam.
We will prepare and guide you through financial planning and develop a customized proposal to clarify all your options. We can help by offering tailored payment plans so that you or your child can begin treatment and continue to move forward.
The financial department at Jungle Roots has great insight into what benefits insurance companies provide and will work with any insurance company that will assign benefits to Jungle Roots as your provider. Our experts can assist you with more flexible payment options, like maximizing your FSA and accepting Care Credit.
