Orthodontics is fun!
Most of our patients tell us that their treatment was easier than expected.
The braces and other appliances used today are much smaller and more comfortable than they were in the past.
We are excited about orthodontics, and we love what we do.
We believe it is especially important that we explain the orthodontic treatment process so our patients and their parents know what to expect before each visit.
In fact, we use a technique called "Tell, Show, Do".
The procedure is first explained, we then Show how it will be performed, and then we Do the procedure.

We gladly accept most major orthodontic insurance plans, and our office is committed to helping you maximize your orthodontic insurance benefit.
Orthodontic insurance is often different from regular dental insurance in that each insured individual usually has a lifetime maximum benefit for orthodontic services.
This benefit is paid as a percentage of the total orthodontic fee until the benefit maximum is reached.
Charges for diagnostic records and lost or broken appliances are generally not covered by insurance.

At your first appointment, you will be greeted by our receptionist and introduced to Dr. McTavish.
You may wish to complete the online Health Questionnaire and patient information form before you arrive.
During this initial visit, Dr. McTavish will look at your teeth and jaw alignment to determine if orthodontic treatment will be beneficial, and if so, whether now is the appropriate time to begin treatment.
He will then review the initial findings with you and answer any questions you may have.

Not knowing what to expect can be a major cause of apprehension.
With this in mind, every effort is made to relieve and reduce our patients' anxiety by thoroughly explaining all procedures before they are performed.
We believe it is important that we explain the orthodontic process and procedures so our patients and their parents understand our mutual goals of achieving esthetics, function and oral health.
Because orthodontic treatment is not emergency care in nature, most procedures can be performed at a pace that is comfortable for the patient.
