FIRST VISIT

Orthodontist, Gilbert, Mesa, Queens Creek, AZ, Rollins & Petersen Orthodontics We are excited and anxious to visit with you and answer all of your questions during your first visit with us. Your initial appointment will consist of an examination and a discussion of potential treatment options. This important 30-minute visit will address the orthodontic needs of you or your child and is complimentary (no charge). We have found our patients appreciate having as much accomplished as possible at the first visit. We know your time is valuable, so to expedite treatment, we may also reserve time following the exam for diagnostic records to be taken. The records include X-rays, photos and impressions for study models, and are necessary prior to beginning orthodontic treatment. This additional appointment is approximately one hour long; however, it is not necessary for parents to be present the entire time. If you would like to run errands or go back to the office we will be happy to call you when your child is ready.
