First, you will fill out paperwork so we can clearly assess your dental needs. Our office can e-mail you the forms to be downloaded and printed before your appointment to help you save time. Our scheduling coordinators will help you check-in using our automated check-in screen. They will notify our Treatment Coordinator, that you have checked in. She will escort you to one of our consultation rooms where you will meet Dr. Frost. We will take a digital full mouth x-ray (Panorex) before you visit with the doctor. We will take photos of your teeth, facials and profile. These are tools that help Dr. Frost understand your overall dental health and past dental history. The doctor will conduct a thorough examination and discuss your treatment options. We want to make sure you are comfortable in our office and we will spend as much time as you need to have your questions answered. You should allow 1 hour for your initial exam. If you are under 18 years of age we will need a parent or guardian with you at the exam. We can schedule an appointment to bond your Damon braces after your consultation. We can even schedule you that same day!


After the examination, but before Damon braces are placed on your teeth, diagnostic records are taken. These records include impressions of your teeth and additional x-rays. The orthodontic records are reviewed to finalize the treatment plan. Please allow 30 minutes for the record taking process.


With all of the improvements in technology, getting your Damon braces placed is no longer an uncomfortable process. The day your braces are placed we usually allow 1.5 hours. We will go over foods to watch out for as well as techniques to take care of your Damon braces. After the braces are put on, most of your adjustments will be made at 10 week intervals.
