Your first visit to our office will be a free exam for you or your child. Dr. Hummert will carefully examine the teeth for a wide range of possible orthodontic problems, such as crowding, cross-bite, gaps, etc. Once Dr. Hummert has a clear picture of the most likely course of treatment, we’ll discuss what type of treatment is necessary, how long it will take, and how much it will cost. We will go over our payment options with you including an explanation of the discounted fee for payment in full, as well as our interest-free office payment plan. You’ll understand everything you need to know in order to decide whether to proceed with treatment. We provide this comprehensive and free orthodontic exam to the residents of Springfield, Summit, Maplewood, Union, Mountainside, Westfield, Short Hills, Millburn, Chatham, Madison, and the surrounding areas of Union County, Essex County, Morris County and beyond NJ!
After your complimentary exam, if you decide to proceed with treatment, records are then made to determine the best course of treatment. Complete diagnostic records typically include a medical/dental history, clinical examination, iTero 3D scan of the teeth (no messy impressions needed!), photos of the patient’s face and teeth, and X-rays (panoramic and cephalometric radiographs). This information is used to develop a custom treatment plan that addresses the unique needs of each patient. These records are also helpful in tracking the progress of treatment as the teeth move under orthodontic care.
After Dr. Hummert has thoroughly evaluated your diagnostic records, she will explain your treatment to you in detail.
After the Records Appointment, we’ll be ready to schedule the appointment to get your new appliances (Invsalign, braces, expanders, etc.) placed. Getting appliances placed usually takes one to two hours. You’ll then see us at regular intervals four to eight weeks apart for an adjustment, which takes about 20 minutes.
Patients are seen by appointment only. 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.
At our Springfield NJ Orthodontics Office, you can expect ethical and honest care. Dr. Hummert thoroughly explains all orthodontic treatment options using Invisalign, Braces, and other appliances so you can make an informed decision.
