New Patient Exams

• Your first visit is actually a complimentary
  orthodontic exam and consultation. Here you will
  get to meet with Dr. Hiremath and his staff,
  share your concerns and learn about your specific
  treatment needs.
• We will schedule you for diagnostic records
  appointment where we will take any additional
  X-rays, impression of you teeth, and photographs
  of you teeth and face. If at you
  initial consultation you decide to use our
  services, you may opt to have your diagnostic
  records taken at this appointment instead of
  scheduling a separate appointment.

Interceptive Treatment

• Interceptive Orthodontics is a phased type of
  orthodontics. Growth is utilized to correct
  developmental occlusion problems. Staging the
  treatment can correct immediate problems and
  future issues. Interceptive orthodontics simply
  means diagnosing and treating malocclusions as
  soon as they are detected.
• Parents and patients need to understand that when
  interceptive orthodontics is performed there is
  usually more than one phase of treatment. Phase
  two will begin when all the permanent teeth are
  in place. Going through phases allows for the
  second phase to be shorter in duration, since the
  major corrections happened in the interceptive
  orthodontics phase.

Adolescent Treatment

• Early evaluation provides both timely detection
  of problems and greater opportunity for more
  effective treatment. Prudent intervention guides
  growth and development, preventing serious
  problems later. When orthodontic intervention is
  not necessary, an orthodontist can carefully
  monitor growth and development and begin
  treatment when it is ideal.
• Though an orthodontist can enhance a smile at any
  age, there is an optimal time period to begin
  treatment. Beginning treatment at this time
  ensures the greatest result and the least amount
  of time and expense. The American Association of
  Orthodontists recommends that the initial
  orthodontic evaluation should occur at the first
  sign of orthodontic problems or no later than age
  7.

Adult Treatment

• Braces arent just for kids anymore. Tooth
  alignment can be changed at any age if your gums
  and bone structure are healthy. We offer a
  variety of treatments that are designed for
  different age groups including adults.
  Orthodontic treatment at later stages in life can
  dramatically improve your personal appearance and
  self-esteem. Improving the health of your teeth
  and gums is equally important. Crooked teeth and
  a bad bite can contribute to gum and bone loss,
  tooth decay, abnormal wear of the tooth enamel
  and surfaces, headaches and jaw joint (TMJ/TMD)
  pain.
• A large percentage of our patients are adults,
  and they agree that its never too late to
  improve their greatest asset their smile.

Traditional Braces

• Dental braces can correct crooked and crowded
  teeth, a misaligned bite, and jaw problems.
  Braces also eliminate problems you may have with
  eating, speaking properly, or with keeping your
  teeth clean. Traditional braces have come a long
  way over the years, becoming sleeker, smaller,
  and more comfortable.
• Traditional braces consist of standard metal
  brackets that are adhered to your teeth with an
  adhesive and connected by wire. They require
  periodic tightening so pressure can gradually
  straighten your teeth and align your jaw as
  needed.

8
Retention

• When we remove your braces, we will begin the
  retention stage of your treatment. The retention
  phase lasts for a minimum of 24 months. Your
  final orthodontic result depends on your
  retainers. Remember to remove your retainer
  before brushing, and brush your retainer before
  placing it back in your mouth.
• Your retainers should be worn at all times with
  the exception of eating and brushing your teeth.
  Your retainer should also be removed when
  participating in sports that require a mouthguard
  or while swimming. After 12 months of full-time
  wear, we may revise your retention treatment,
  allowing the retainer to strictly be worn at
  night.

3D Imaging

• The new ORTHOPHOS XG 3D, a hybrid solution from
  Sirona.
• The new ORTHOPHOS XG 3D combines the advantages
  of 2D and 3D into one comprehensive unit. With an
  extensive selection of panoramic and
  cephalometric programs to choose from, the right
  2D diagnostic images are now augmented with the
  ability to capture 3D X-ray.
• The new hybrid unit from Sirona requires about
  the same space as a traditional 2D X-ray machine,
  but now provides the advantages of 2D and 3D
  together in your practice while encouraging the
  lowest possible effective dose for the patient.
