Regular Appointments

The appointment when you get your appliances (braces, expanders, etc.) usually takes from one to one and a half hours. You’ll then see us at regular intervals 4 to 8 weeks apart for an adjustment, which takes 20 to 40 minutes.  We make every effort to be on time for our patients and ask that you extend the same courtesy to us. If you cannot keep an appointment, please notify us immediately. Cancel only if it is an emergency. It is difficult to reschedule you since most appointments are made 4 to 8 weeks in advance.

Insurance

If you have insurance, we will help you to determine the coverage you have available. We ask that you assign your insurance benefit to us. The balance will be arranged for you to pay (see above). Professional care is provided to you, our patient, and not to an insurance company. Thus, the insurance company is responsible to the patient and the patient is responsible to the doctor. We will help in every way we can in filing your claim and handling insurance questions from our office on your behalf.

Appointments

Regular Appointments
In order to properly place brackets and fit bands, the first few appointments will be frequent, requiring your patience and flexibility. After the appliances are placed, adjustment appointments will then occur approximately every six weeks and for shorter time intervals, approximately 20-40 minutes.

Cooperation is requested in making and keeping all appointments. As most of our patients are school age, we will make every effort to give each patient their share of after-school appointments; however, please be aware that many appointments, especially those of longer duration, will be during school hours. We are happy to provide a school excuse if needed.

It is difficult to reschedule you since most appointments are made 4 to 8 weeks in advance. If an appointment must be broken, please notify us immediately so another appointment can be reserved. Whenever possible, advance notice of 24 hours is appreciated if an appointment must be changed.

Other Dental Treatment and Records
Extractions (if necessary), x-rays, and the restoration of decayed teeth will usually be done before orthodontic treatment is started. After treatment, a complete set of orthodontic records will be taken. It is recommended that a dental checkup be scheduled with your dentist shortly after braces are removed.

Auto insurance doesn’t just insure your vehicle, it can also cover medical expenses from a vehicle wreck as well as protecting you from being sued for additional expenses from being in a wreck. This article can help you choose the right amounts of coverage in the right areas to protect all of your assets.
Auto insurance for young drivers is very costly. You can save some money by choosing the right kind of car for your teenager to drive. If you allow your teen to drive the Mustang, prepare to pay through the roof. If, on the other hand, you restrict your teen to the most “beater”-like car you own, your premiums will be notably lower.

Auto Insurance

Check out your actual insurance costs before heading to the car dealership. Different types of cars carry different premium amounts. Check with your agent on the types and models of cars you are looking at to see which one makes the most financial sense. Being armed with this information at the car lot, will help you make a better deal.
Remove towing from your car insurance. Removing towing will save money. Proper maintenance of your car and common sense may ensure that you will not need to be towed. Accidents do happen, but they are rare. It usually comes out a little cheaper in the end to pay out of pocket.
Do not forget to update your car insurance policy if you relocate. Even if you are only moving a few miles away, make the changes. You may not like what you see, though, because premiums are set by zip code. In one town it could be higher because the theft and collision rates are higher.
Take a close look at your auto policy and take off any “extras” that you won’t use. For example, you might have emergency roadside assistance included in your plan. If you don’t think you are going to use this, drop it in order to decrease the amount you are spending on your insurance. Your agent can help you figure out what else might apply.
Shop around for car insurance instead of renewing it. When it comes time to renew, many car owners do just that. They renew their car insurance. Instead of renewing, take a look around at other providers. Your situation might have changed or you might be able to find a better deal.
It is essential to understand what exactly you are covered for. One of the most complete types of insurance is called comprehensive. Comprehensive is considerably more expensive, but covers you even in strange situations like fires, floods and vandalism. Most of the time you will not need this, but in some situations, it can be a lifesaver.
As already put forth, auto insurance protects so much more than just your car. It can be the difference between being sued or having your insurance company take care of details like that for you. By using the information in this article and choosing the right insurance, you can protect your car, your passengers, and your assets. More on this website
