What To Expect

Not sure what to expect on your first visit to Minars Orthodontics? Along with a tour of the office, you will receive a free initial consultation. During this time, Dr. Minars will be happy to address any of your orthodontic questions or concerns.

Orthodontic Records

Diagnostic records consist of:
* An x-ray of the patient’s head (cephalogram)
* An x-ray of the patient’s jaws and teeth (panorex)
* Facial photographs and intraoral photographs
* Impressions of the teeth.
These orthodontic records are used to document the diagnosis and plan the orthodontic treatment needed for each patient

Lower Retaining Wires

This is the orthodontic retainer that is placed on the inside of your lower front teeth. It’s referred to as a “bonding lingual retaining wire”. As long as the wire is correctly attached to your teeth, it will hold them reasonably straight.

Orthodontic Terms

Learn some orthodontic terms here that you might hear on your trip to the orthodontist. Ever wonder what which part of the braces the doctor is talking about while working on your mouth? Find the definitions for terms such as archwire, coil spring and bracket.

Treatment Timing

In some cases, children as young as two or three years of age may need limited interceptive orthodontic treatment. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that young people be seen by age seven. Early treatment may enable a patient to avoid surgery or other more serious corrections later in life. However, you are never too old to begin orthodontic treatment.

Common Problems

We have provided pictures and descriptions of some common orthodontic problems. Cases such as overbites and crossbites are identified here. Read to find out if you or somone you know could benefit from an orthodontic evaluation.
