What Should I expect from my Initial Orthodontic Comprehensive Examination at Durham Orthodontics?

Great question! When you first come in for your initial FREE consultation Dr. John Nikolovski, your Whitby, Ajax, Brooklin, Pickering, Oshawa Orthodontist will conduct a comprehensive examination to assess your oral health and make a determination on how to proceed with treatment.

Your orthodontic evaluation will consist of an oral and facial examination to assess your oral health.We will then have you take intraoral and photographs like the ones below.  This allows us to show you all of the orthodontic problems that need correction.
Finally, we take a panoramic radiograph (x-ray) to help diagnose any pathology, dental or skeletal discrepancies which can impact your orthodontic or dental health.

During our initial 30 minute consultation we will discuss all treatment options with you.
Our Whitby Orthodontist  feels it’s important to take the time to carefully examine your diagnostic records after your consultation so that we can more thoroughly prepare for your orthodontic treatment.  This also gives you the proper amount of time for you to make an informed decision without feeling rushed into treatment.

Many have asked us about thumbsucking...is it a problem?
At Durham Orthodontics concerned parents ask us about thumbsucking.  Your Whitby Orthodontist Dr. John Nikolovski explains that under some circumstances many children can suck their thumb up to the ages of 4 years old and not cause any damage to the oral cavity.
However if thumb-sucking continues to occur past the eruption of the permanent teeth, an anterior open bite can occur which may require early phase I orthodontic intervention, and cause problems with proper growth and development of the jaws.
If you are a worried parent, please schedule a complementary consultation at Durham Orthodontics and we can discuss treatment and early options for intervention.
