Patient Information

New Patients

Your first visit will consist of a complimentary orthodontic exam followed by a personalized consultation. You will be able to meet Dr. Hiremath and or Dr. Mavalli and the rest of the team. You will receive an official diagnosis, you can ask questions, and learn about the treatment options that would be appropriate for your diagnosis. Dr. Hiremath and or Dr. Mavalli will then establish a treatment plan based on your input and diagnosis. At this time, we will be able to share the length of your treatment, the total cost of your treatment, and what is required to achieve your best result.

If you decide to go ahead with your treatment plan, we will then schedule you to collect additional diagnostic records at a second appointment or right after your consultation depending on your preferences. These records may include additional X-rays, impressions, and photographs of your teeth and face.

Insurance

If your insurance covers any portion of your orthodontic and pediatric treatment, you will receive the benefit of reduced personal costs. Many insurance policies include a lifetime orthodontic benefit that is distinct from regular dental insurance. Remember that insurance policies vary, and we will review your insurance to determine the most appropriate course of action. Once treatment has started, we will file claims on your behalf.

Please remember that orthodontic insurance is a benefit for you or your child. If during treatment, your benefits change, the financially responsible party is accountable for all charges.

We believe in empowerment through education. We want all of our patients to be empowered to make educated decisions and we will provide all of the information to allow that to happen.
