The first visit to us at Toowong Orthodontics is for the initial consultation where we will put aside ample time for you to get to know us and assess if you would like us to be your orthodontist. You will have lots of time to discuss your orthodontic treatment questions with Dr Goodyear, including cost and payment plans. If you haven’t seen your dentist for six months, we will recommend that you have a check-up with your dentist before treatment begins. Having healthy teeth and gums is essential before starting orthodontic treatment.
Arriving at the best treatment plan for you generally involves you having some x-rays taken, a scan and photos of your teeth and face. At Toowong Orthodontics we place great emphasis on including the facial proportions and lip support in the overall treatment result.
In your consultation, we identify the diagnosis and the treatment objectives and fully explain them to you. Next, we book your following appointments to place the braces or appliances. Treatment can generally commence within a few weeks of you letting us know that you wish to proceed.
