1)
How much does the initial exam cost?
There is no charge for the initial exam which includes
a complimentary $75 panorex x-ray.
2)
How much do braces cost? The cost of braces
depends on the needs of each patient. We encourage you
to have an initial exam with Dr. Turner, at that time
you will be told exactly how much your treatment would
cost, as well as all financial options that are available
for you. We are very proud of our flexible payment options.
3)
How often do I need to come back for my appointments?
Generally appointments are scheduled 7-10 weeks
apart.
4)
Do braces hurt? Everyone's pain tolerance is
different, but there can be some mild discomfort for about
2 to 3 days after the braces are put on. Taking Advil
for about 1 hour before you eat will help to ease the
discomfort.
5)
At what age should I bring in my child to be checked by
the doctor? Dr. Turner wants to see patients
when they are 7 to 8 years of age. Many times early intervention
can make orthodontics easier.
