At what age should an Orthodontist first examine my
child? We see children at approximately eight years of age to evaluate the arrival of their permanent upper and lower front teeth. On occasion we examine children at younger ages if they have specific problems.
When treatment begins, how often will my child need to
be seen? Once the braces are initially placed, patients
will be seen every 3 to 4 weeks.
Can I schedule appointments after school? We schedule shorter adjustment appointments after school to accommodate more patients during these hours. However, longer appointments may need to be
scheduled earlier in the day..
How long do patients need braces? At the initial examination appointment each patient is presented
with a treatment plan and an estimated length of treatment. This time estimate may extend longer if
tooth movement is slower than anticipated..
Do you have a payment plan? Yes. All treatments have a payment plan option which includes interest-free monthly payments. The initial payment plan installment is due upon brace placement.
Will you accept my insurance? We will be happy to evaluate your insurance plan and determine your orthodontic benefits. We are a Preferred provider for Delta Premier, United Concordia, MetLife/TriCare and MetLife. Please bring your insurance information to the initial consultation visit.
Do you take credit or debit cards? We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, healthcare spending and debit cards.
How long do patients wear retainers? Once retainers are placed, they are worn during the day and night for the first six months and only at night thereafter. A successful long-term orthodontic result requires faithful retainer wear.
Who performs the brace adjustments? Dr. Mohr personally performs brace placement and all monthly adjustments. His assistants prepare patients for each appointment procedure.
