Your First Visit

Dr. Anderson has an Initial Exam and Consultation Room designed to help each new patient become more educated on their orthodontic needs and feel at ease during their visit. The ability of our patients to view all diagnostic materials and CD ROMS with morphing capabilities helps provide information and education that enables them to become an integral part of the decision making team needed for successful results whether it's for child or adult orthodontics.

Dr. Anderson is a firm believer in early orthodontic guidance, as he feels it enables him to create excellent proportionality between the mid-face and lower jaw. These techniques are explained in-depth before any treatment is initiated and treated cases are shown to further illustrate their benefits.

Our Diagnostic Records Area is fully equipped to obtain all radiographs, digital photographs, and impressions needed to form an accurate problem list that leads to a sound, well thought-out treatment plan. We have even provided a special impressions room to afford each patient the privacy they deserve while receiving this particular treatment.

Our regularly calibrated radiographic equipment is well collimated so as to make this part of records taking a safe experience, and of course, each patient wears a protective lead apron during these procedures. Our laboratory technician is close by to help in the preparation of each patients' study models so that a speedy work-up of each case can be performed by Dr. Anderson. After each case diagnosis and treatment plan has been completed, a phone or sit down conference is scheduled for the presentation of this information to each parent and patient.
