What are Orthodontic Records?

Orthodontic records are different types of diagnostic information. The process of collecting records is an essential step in providing you with the highest level of care and achieving the best possible treatment outcome. 

At Foundations Orthodontics, our primary goal is to ensure accurate diagnosis of your orthodontic needs and develop a customized treatment plan. To achieve this, we perform a series of comprehensive assessments, including:

  • Full Skull CBCT: This advanced imaging technique allows us to evaluate not only your teeth but also your bones, joints, airway, and other critical anatomical structures. It provides a three-dimensional view of your oral health, helping us make precise and informed decisions about your treatment.

  • 3D Bite Scan: This scan helps us analyze the alignment of your teeth and how they come together when you bite. It provides essential information for planning orthodontic adjustments. These scans then get put into our software to show us how they move and function together.

  • Photos: High-quality photographs document your current oral condition and serve as a visual reference throughout your treatment.

  • Chairside Exam: Our doctors conduct a thorough examination in the chair, examining your oral health from multiple angles and taking necessary measurements.

  • Follow-Up Consultation: After gathering all these records, we carefully review and analyze them to create a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals. The follow-up consultation is an integral part of this process, where we discuss our findings with you, answer your questions, and collaborate on the treatment approach that suits you best.

 

 

Why is a Records Fee Necessary?

It's important to note that all these services, including the records and the follow-up consultation, are included in our records fee. This fee ensures that you receive a comprehensive assessment and a clear understanding of your orthodontic needs.

We believe that investing in this thorough diagnostic process is crucial to providing you with the best orthodontic care possible. Our goal is to ensure your treatment is effective, efficient, and tailored to your specific requirements.

Does Insurance Cover Records Fees?

Your dental insurance may include some coverage toward this fee, and we would be happy to submit a claim on your behalf. We encourage you to contact your insurance company directly to determine your benefits. We can provide dental insurance codes for you to verify with your insurance company.
