Messingham Orthodontics, P.C.

Description

Today, most insurance companies cover part of the cost of orthodontic treatment. If you have insurance, we will help you to determine the coverage you have available. We ask that you assign your insurance benefit to us. The balance will be arranged for you to pay. Please remember that the contract for your insurance is between you and the insurance company, and our office has no part in determining your benefits. The assistance we provide you is strictly a courtesy. It is to your advantage to discuss any questions you may have about your benefits with your benefits coordinator at your place of employment or call the insurance company directly. It is important to maintain your orthodontic insurance during the entire orthodontic treatment in order to receive maximum coverage from your existing policy. If insurance is dropped or discontinued during treatment, it is the patient’s responsibility to pay the remaining balance for your orthodontic expenses, including the portion no longer covered by insurance.

The staff of Messingham Orthodontics welcomes you to our practice. We love the challenge of orthodontics, and the satisfaction it provides while creating beautiful smiles for both adults and children. We will provide the highest quality of orthodontic care for you, yet still maintain a friendly, fun, and enjoyable atmosphere. We pride ourselves in our personal relationships with our patients and their families. Our patients are our priority, your care and satisfaction are our primary goals.

Your first visit to our office is an important one, because it’s the beginning of a long-term relationship…. a partnership, in fact. At that visit, partial diagnostic records (medical/dental history, panoramic x-ray, and clinical exam) are made to determine the best course of treatment. We’ll utilize the latest in orthodontic technology, including a state-of-the-art digital X-ray machine, which delivers 75% less radiation than the traditional x-ray machine. If treatment is recommended, then complete diagnostic records will need to be made, including plaster study models of the teeth, digital photos of the patient’s face and teeth, and a lateral cephalometric x-ray with computer analysis. This information is used to develop a custom treatment plan for each patient. These records are also helpful in tracking the progress of treatment as the teeth move under orthodontic care.
