Starting out on your treatment journey

It’s an exciting time when you first start out on your orthodontic treatment journey. Although it may seem a little daunting, we promise you the months will fly by and it won’t be long until you’re showing off your beautiful new smile.

At Class 1 Orthodontics, it all starts with your first visit to your nearest Class 1 clinic, whether that be in West Perth, Canning Vale, Rockingham, Baldivis, Kalgoorlie or West Busselton.

Your first visit

At your first visit, you will meet with one of our treatment coordinators as there are a few things we need to discuss with you. Here’s what will happen:

• We’ll ask you what you want to achieve from treatment
• We’ll ask you for your dental and medical records, if we don’t already have them
• You can ask us any questions you have about orthodontic treatment
• We can talk you through the orthodontic process
• We’ll discuss your treatment options

Specialist assessment

One of our specialist orthodontists will then assess your teeth and jaws and, if needed, take x-rays, photographs and digital impressions of your teeth. This helps us to identify what your orthodontic needs are and what type of treatment will get you the result you’ve told us you’re after.

Treatment plan

As part of your first visit, we will put together a bespoke treatment plan for you. This will outline the following:

• The results of our specialist orthodontist’s assessment
• What treatment(s) we recommend for you to correct your orthodontic needs
• An outline of your treatment process and how long treatment will take
• An exact cost of your treatment – this quote will be specifically designed just for you and has no hidden surprises
• Information about our payment plans and finance options to help make the cost of treatment affordable.

Remember, you don’t need a dentist to refer you to an orthodontist for treatment. If you want to find out how you could benefit from treatment, give our friendly team a call today.
